Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when life already feels unsettled or overwhelming. I aim to meet you with curiosity, warmth, and maybe even a little humor as we navigate the challenges you’re facing.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic and relational therapy. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences – especially early relationships – may unconsciously shape how you think, feel, and relate to others today. By bringing these patterns into awareness, therapy can deepen self-understanding and open the door to meaningful change.

Relational therapy emphasizes the importance of our connection. I believe healing happens through safe, authentic relationships, and that the therapeutic relationship itself can be a meaningful part of your growth. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you.

There are many effective therapy approaches, but research shows that the most important factor in successful therapy is the connection between therapist and client. Sometimes that sense of fit happens right away; other times, it develops over time. A good fit means you feel safe enough to be open, honest, and explore what’s really going on.

The best way to see if we’re a good fit is to schedule a 15-minute phone call. If what I’ve written resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
