Choosing the right therapist is a deeply personal and important decision. Research consistently shows that one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy is the quality of the connection you have with your therapist.This relationship is not just the container for therapy—it’s part of the healing process itself, offering a safe environment to explore the deeper roots of your struggles. Instead of focusing on short-term solutions, I work to cultivate a therapeutic relationship in which you feel truly recognized and understood. With openness and compassion, I approach each person’s story with curiosity, shaping our work together to honor your individual history, values, and aspirations.
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which rests on the understanding that the challenges we face today—whether in relationships, work, or our own sense of self—often have their origins in formative experiences from early life. The ways we learned to relate, cope, and protect ourselves during those years can become patterns that quietly shape our adult lives. By bringing awareness to these unconscious patterns, we can loosen their grip, create new ways of relating, and open the door to lasting change, greater authenticity and fulfillment.
Many people seek therapy when they feel stuck, disconnected, or unable to break old cycles. You might find yourself struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling like an outsider no matter where you are, caught in unsatisfying relationships, or living without a sense of purpose. You may carry unprocessed anger, feel numb or detached, or have wounds from early relationships that still affect your daily life. No matter what you are facing together, we can work to understand these struggles—not just as symptoms to be managed, but as meaningful signals pointing toward the deeper layers of your story and your capacity for growth.
