Therapy is a brave choice—and you don’t have to face it alone. I work with adults who feel anxious, stuck, or weighed down by old patterns and relationship struggles. Using a warm, psychodynamic approach, we’ll explore the deeper ‘why’ behind your feelings so you can break free from cycles that no longer serve you. With advanced training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, I help clients heal from past wounds, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional change. Together, we’ll build insight, self-compassion, and the confidence to live more fully and authentically.
I have advanced training in adult psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, with expertise in anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment, and parent/adult child dynamics. My warm, non-judgmental approach helps clients feel understood as they explore patterns, gain insight, and work toward meaningful, lasting emotional growth.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and genuine care to each session, helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, and emotional stress. Rooted in a psychodynamic approach, I explore how past relationships shape current patterns—creating space for insight, connection, and lasting emotional growth.
