My background is in psychodynamic therapy. This type of therapy helps you to better understand patterns that play out in your life, how your mind works, the internal conflicts you wrestle with, the defense mechanisms you use, and other things you might not be fully conscious of. By learning more about yourself and your struggles, you are better equipped to make changes in your life, solve your problems in the ways you want to solve them, and break out of the self-defeating patterns you find yourself stuck in.

My approach to therapy involves helping clients understand themselves better by exploring the influence of their past in the present, the link between their mind and body, and building new coping strategies for daily life. I often share practical tips and tricks that encourage change in behaviors and habits, while also providing a supportive environment for processing emotions when taking action feels difficult or inaccessible. While I introduce various therapeutic ideas, I believe it's essential for clients to guide our sessions and collaboratively develop their treatment goals.
