I view therapy as a much-needed pause in the busyness of life— a dedicated space for you to delve into your inner world, gain meaningful insights, and take intentional steps towards change.

Therapy with me will typically unfold in three key stages:

Exploration

Together, we'll navigate your thoughts, emotions, and experiences to uncover underlying patterns

Insight

By understanding these patterns, you'll develop a deeper self-awareness that empowers you to make informed choices

Action

We'll collaborate to translate these insights into concrete actions, fostering growth and transformation

My goal is for our sessions to uncover both the "how" and "why" behind the reasons you’re seeking therapy. Not only will I help you manage your symptoms, but I also will help you understand their root causes.

The "why" gets to the heart of your experiences, exploring past influences, patterns, and beliefs that shape your present difficulties.

The "how" is about the ways these issues show up in your daily life—how they impact your thoughts, choices, and relationships.

Together, I want us to connect these pieces, offering you clarity and tools to make lasting changes and move forward with more self-awareness and intention.

I believe that just as relationships can be a source of harm, they can also be a powerful space for healing.

As a relational therapist, my focus will be on our relationship and how the dynamics between us reflect your relationships with others. We’ll explore your experiences with attachment, communication, and emotional responses.

My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed, psychodynamic lens. I seek to understand how your past experiences influence your present emotional and relational world.

I aim to support lasting change by incorporating what research has shown to improve overall mental health and well-being.

We’ll discuss how you can create more space for connecting with those around you, building strong relationships, cultivating a sense of meaning and purpose, celebrating your achievements, and increasing the presence of pleasant emotions in your life.
