You may be here because relationships feel confusing, painful, or harder than they should be, perhaps shaped by earlier experiences that still echo in the present. You might notice strong emotional reactions, persistent self-doubt, or patterns in close relationships that feel difficult to change. Therapy can be a space to make room for the full range of what life brings, including both its joys and its sorrows. While we may not be able to choose the struggles we face, we can work together to understand how they developed and to choose how we meet them in ways that feel more grounded, intentional, and aligned with your values .
I believe relationships are central to understanding ourselves and others. Because of this, I place strong emphasis on building a thoughtful, collaborative therapeutic relationship, one where you feel valued, supported, and appropriately challenged. Together, we will explore how your past and present shape how you relate, feel, and move through the world .
I work well with people who want to better understand long-standing emotional and relational patterns, often shaped by earlier experiences. The pace of therapy is shaped collaboratively, with attention to what feels workable. Finding the right fit matters, and I welcome you to reach out for a brief conversation to see whether working together feels right.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and relational difficulties tied to early life experiences. Using a relational psychodynamic approach, we collaboratively explore unconscious patterns. Clients who value depth and self-reflection often find meaningful, lasting change in how they feel and connect with others.

I practice from a Psychodynamic perspective, meaning we go beyond symptoms and behaviors. Together we explore the emotions, memories, and meaning that quietly shape your life: where you've come from and how it lives on in you day to day. Progress means becoming more aware of your inner life, so your choices feel more genuinely yours.
