There are times when we act in ways that don’t align with what we truly want or need, and we may not even understand why. You might feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure how to express your needs to the people who matter most. Or, perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself, which can make it difficult to have meaningful and close relationships with others. It’s not uncommon for this to bring up feelings like guilt, anger, or not feeling good enough, and other emotions that can be hard to talk about or manage. I work with both children and adults, supporting them gaining deeper self-awareness, and positive connections with others.

If you've found yourself caught in the same patterns, wondering why things feel harder than they should, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, psychodynamic therapy offers something most approaches don't: the chance to get at what's actually driving the difficulty, not just manage it.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, men's issues, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. My approach is relational and psychodynamic - meaning we pay close attention to patterns, to what happens between people, and to the experiences that have shaped who you've become.

The tools that you need to heal are already within you. My main approaches are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Mindfulness. Mindfulness invites relaxation into the body while EMDR allows you to process the past without feeling triggered. Many of our present problems such as low self esteem, relationship challenges, anxiety, and depression have deep roots within our past. EMDR works to address the problem from its root by challenging the negative messages that we have received from childhood and replacing them with new positive truths. These truths are then integrated into how we view ourselves and the world.

You may understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them, especially in relationships. Many of the brave individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or relationships that leave them feeling disconnected or unsure of themselves. Some notice patterns around self-worth, body image, or a strong inner critic, while others feel the impact of past experiences or trauma. Often, one part understands what’s happening while another feels overwhelmed or reactive. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for something that helps things truly shift toward a deeper sense of wholeness in mind, body, heart, and soul.

Tired of crying yourself to sleep, blowing up "for no reason", feeling "on edge" and nervous, bickering with significant others, and feeling the need to defend yourself ? Chronic conflict and stress can leave us feeling drained and exhausted, with little hope for the future and no desire to try again. Your life and relationships may be "stuck" in a cycle of unmet needs and misunderstandings. Few of us grew up in ideal families or learning all we need to know about managing conflict and expressing our needs and emotions effectively.

As an "elder", I know of the vulnerabilities and anxieties that can arise due to the aging process. Elders often have to deal with change, loss and grief more frequently than one does in earlier stages of our lives. We are touched by them, directly or indirectly. Learning to more gracefully move through these transitions is an opportunity for deeper emotional, psychological and spiritual growth. These challenges can become the medicine for your spirit and soul.
