If you’ve tried short-term fixes but still feel stuck in anxiety, low self-worth, or recurring emotional patterns, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point where surface-level solutions no longer work—they want to understand the “why” behind their struggles. I help individuals who are ready to go deeper, uncovering the root causes of pain and making space for real change. Through long-term therapy, we work to build self-awareness, heal attachment wounds, and foster emotional resilience so you can move forward with clarity, purpose, and strength.
I use psychodynamic therapy to help you uncover patterns shaped by early experiences and unconscious beliefs. By exploring these deeper layers over time, we create lasting change, not just symptom relief. My approach supports emotional insight, healing, and the kind of growth that sticks.
True growth requires more than quick fixes—it’s about uncovering the deeper truths that shape who we are. I work with clients to explore their experiences, identify barriers, and develop tools for lasting change. Together, we create a path to healing and resilience, empowering you to face challenges with confidence & build a life aligned with your true self.
