YOU’RE READY FOR A NEW APPROACH TO THERAPY.

Real change starts with understanding—not just what you’re experiencing, but why.

My approach is grounded in curiosity, self-awareness, and the belief that your experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and relate. Together, we’ll look at the patterns that keep showing up, make sense of where they come from, and create space for something different.

In sessions with me, we’ll slow things down and make space for the things that are often easy to overlook. We’ll explore what’s happening in your life now while also looking at the experiences and patterns that may be shaping how you respond. My role is to offer perspective, ask thoughtful questions, and help you make connections so you can better understand yourself and move forward with greater clarity.

a different way to do therapy

We go deeper

We look beyond the immediate problem to understand the experiences, beliefs, and patterns underneath it. Insight creates the foundation for lasting change.

01

It’s collaborative

You’re not being told what to do. We work together to understand what’s happening, challenge what isn’t serving you, and find what feels right for you.

02

It’s personal

There’s no formula for therapy. I tailor our work to you, your experiences, and what you need—not a diagnosis or a one-size-fits-all approach.

03

what matters most is this:

When you can see your patterns, understand where they came from, and recognize what you actually need, you have more freedom to choose what comes next.

Who it’s for

THERAPY IS A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF…

  • Going through a major life transition and trying to find your footing.

  • You’re used to being the capable one. You handle things, solve problems, and show up for everyone else—but rarely stop to ask what you need.

  • Repeating patterns you understand intellectually but haven't been able to change.

  • You’re constantly striving for the next thing. You accomplish a lot, but it’s difficult to slow down, feel satisfied, or know when enough is enough.

  • Overthinking and second-guessing yourself, even when you appear confident on the outside.

  • Struggling in your relationships or finding yourself in familiar dynamics you don't want to repeat.

  • You hold yourself to impossibly high standards. Perfectionism, self-criticism, and the feeling that you should always be doing more can make it hard to actually enjoy your life.

FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS

  • Psychodynamic means we look beyond what’s happening on the surface to understand the experiences and patterns that may be shaping you today. Together, we’ll explore how your past, relationships, and ways of coping influence the way you think, feel, and relate—and use that insight to create meaningful change.

  • My approach to therapy is thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on what’s beneath the surface. Rather than simply addressing the problem in front of us, we’ll explore the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped the way you see yourself and move through the world. I believe meaningful change starts with self-awareness—and that therapy should feel like a place where you can be honest, curious, and understood. My goal is to help you make sense of where you’ve been, understand where you are now, and feel more confident about where you’re going.

  • Both. What’s happening in your life now is often connected to experiences and patterns that have developed over time. We’ll pay attention to what’s happening in the present while exploring the past when it helps us better understand your reactions, relationships, beliefs, and ways of coping. The goal isn’t to dwell on the past—it’s to understand it well enough to create more choice in how you move forward.

  • That’s completely okay. You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly defined problem or a list of things to discuss. Sometimes simply knowing that something doesn’t feel right is enough to begin. We can start wherever you are, and together, we’ll figure out what feels important to explore.
