Are you struggling with anxiety—such as panic attacks, social anxiety, excessive worry, or trouble sleeping? Do you find yourself dealing with depression, low self-esteem, persistent negative thinking, or feelings of hopelessness and helplessness? Are challenges in your relationships—whether with a partner, family members, peers, or others—causing emotional distress? Or perhaps you're navigating a major life transition and seeking guidance and support along the way? If any of these experiences resonate with you, you're not alone—and support is available.
My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, with a strong foundation in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)—an evidence-based method focused on achieving meaningful, lasting change. ISTDP helps identify and work through emotional barriers using goal-setting, experiential processing, and active therapist feedback.
This collaborative and active process allows us to uncover unhelpful coping patterns, gain clarity on emotional struggles, and move toward greater freedom and fulfillment in your life.
