My approach combines solid clinical training with psychoanalytic methods that are grounded in real-world application. In addition to focusing on symptom relief, we'll explore the underlying patterns and unconscious dynamics that may be influencing your experiences in ways you haven't fully recognized.
Here's what that looks like: we'll create a genuine space where you can express what you're actually thinking and feeling without judgment. Together, we'll examine not just what's challenging you, but why certain patterns persist and how they connect to your relationships, your history, and your sense of self.
This work is designed for people seeking meaningful, lasting change—not just temporary fixes. Whether you're navigating persistent anxiety, recurring relationship challenges, depression that feels stuck, issues with self-worth, or a sense that you're not living as authentically as you'd like, this approach offers a path toward deeper self-understanding and genuine growth.
I practice from a modern psychoanalytic framework, which means our therapeutic relationship itself becomes part of the healing process. I'm not a distant observer—we're collaborating. We'll work at your pace while building the internal resources you need not just to feel better now, but to continue growing over time.
The goal isn't just symptom management; it's developing lasting insight, emotional resilience, and more fulfilling connections with others and yourself.
