My Approach 

 

I view therapy as a space for self-discovery. Moreover, it is a place to explore what drives you, uncover the roots of recurring patterns, and connect more fully with your strengths. It’s not just about addressing pain or dysfunction, but about cultivating insight and catalyzing meaningful change.

I believe change begins with understanding. Together, we’ll identify the thought and behavior patterns that no longer serve you and explore where they come from. I believe that awareness is a powerful catalyst for growth, especially when it unfolds within the context of a safe, supportive relationship.

The therapeutic relationship itself plays a vital role in this process. It’s not only a space where you are seen and heard without judgment, but also a lens through which we can examine how you relate to others in your life. By noticing the patterns that emerge between us, we can better understand the relational dynamics that may be holding you back and begin the work of shifting them.

I strive to create a warm, empathic, and collaborative environment where you feel empowered to show up authentically. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory and enriched by feminist, humanistic, and interpersonal frameworks.

I feel privileged to be entrusted with my clients’ stories and to share in moments of vulnerability, pain, and joy. I welcome you to bring your strengths, challenges, fears, and hopes to our work together. Therapy can be daunting, but I'm here to support you on your journey.
