Struggling with sadness, anxiety, anger, or grief? Emotional struggles can make even small tasks feel overwhelming. You might feel stuck in patterns of behavior you're not proud of, disconnected from activities you once loved, or unsure how to create the happier, more fulfilling life you envision. Therapy can help you break these cycles, uncover your strengths, and align your actions with what truly matters to you.
I’m deeply committed to supporting clients with warmth, empathy, and genuineness in a safe, compassionate space. My relational, here-and-now approach focuses on your unfolding emotional experience. Using a psychodynamic lens, we’ll uncover deeper patterns, exploring how your past shapes your present, fostering self-awareness, growth, and meaningful change.
Whether you're seeking a stronger connection with yourself, healthier relationships, or clarity in your personal and professional life, therapy offers the tools to help you build more meaningful, authentic connections—with yourself and others.
