There are a lot of things that happen within us while we engage in our normal day to day lives. From our physiological processes to our mental and emotional processes. We spend a great deal functioning completely unaware of our internal world. Interestingly enough it is what’s inside of us that is the precursor to our behaviors and physical health condition. As a psychodynamic therapist I aim to help you come into contact with your inner person or what I refer to as your inner child. I review your childhood history to make sense of your current challenges. A lot of the ways we think and behave come from childhood learnings.

If opening up feels like too much—or you've been hurt when you tried before—I see you. Maybe you're carrying years of pain, disappointment, or silence. Maybe you're exhausted from pretending to be okay. You're not broken. You're not too much. You're just tired of holding it all alone.
You want to feel seen, heard, and safe. To finally let your guard down without fear. You’re longing for peace, for connection, for healing that actually sticks—and I want to walk with you through that. You don’t have to carry it by yourself anymore.

Hi and welcome! While everyone’s reason for seeking therapy is different, all people have conflicts to resolve, connections to deepen, and a purpose to live out. Sometimes we need a little help figuring out how to do that, and why our own efforts aren’t getting us as far as we’d like. Asking for help isn’t always comfortable, but I find the uncomfortable places are often the ones filled with the most purpose and possibilities. Congratulations on taking the first step!
