I work with adults who sense that their current struggles are tied to deeper and long‑standing patterns. Many come to me when earlier attachment experiences, relational dynamics, or internal conflicts begin to surface in ways they can no longer ignore. I work from a psychodynamic lens, which focuses on understanding the underlying psychic structure, including the organization of personality, its conflicts, and the enduring patterns that shape present difficulties. Through an exploratory and relational process, we observe these patterns in real time and develop the insight needed for meaningful change and growth.
While much of my work is exploratory and insight oriented, I also incorporate behavioral interventions and practical strategies when they best support your goals. Some of my specialty areas include relationship issues and family conflict, personality concerns, trauma, anxiety disorders, and ERP for OCD.
Clients who seek me out want more than symptom relief; they want to understand themselves deeply and create lasting, characterological change. My role is to help you make sense of your internal world, your personality structure, and the long‑standing patterns that shape your current challenges so you can move toward meaningful and sustainable growth.
