Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, perfectionism, or long-standing self-doubt. When the same emotional patterns persist despite insight, effort, or past therapy, it can feel discouraging and isolating. Therapy can help even if you’re unsure where to begin. Rooted in psychoanalytic therapy, my work focuses on understanding patterns around attachment, self-esteem, and emotional regulation so that meaningful, lasting change can unfold over time. I have particular expertise working with individuals who struggle with intense emotional reactions and worries about abandonment.
I see therapy as a process of discovery that fosters self-understanding, strengthens relationships, and eases emotional distress. Many clients find themselves developing greater self-compassion and a more genuine empathy for others through our work together.
Choosing a therapist is a meaningful and often nuanced decision. I aim to offer a confidential, thoughtful space where you can speak openly and explore your inner life at your own pace. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out by email to explore whether working together feels like the right next step.
