I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy grounded in Relational Psychodynamic Theory and Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, and the relational struggles and loneliness that often accompany these issues. Our work involves exploring how early experiences and relationships have shaped your inner world, revealing the unconscious beliefs and emotional patterns that may be limiting your present-day life. Through this process, we lay the groundwork for meaningful change, increased self-awareness, and a deeper connection to your most authentic self.

Healing begins when we not only make sense of the past, but begin to integrate that knowledge to understand ourselves with more depth, compassion, and clarity. I support clients in uncovering the internal logic of their emotional lives; not just understanding what they feel, but making sense of where those feelings come from and what they may be trying to protect or express. This insight opens the door to a more compassionate relationship with oneself, grounded in curiosity rather than criticism. Through this process, new pathways open, ones that make it possible to shift limiting and problematic behavioral patterns, engage in more fulfilling and aligned relationships, and experience a deeper sense of possibility in how you live, relate, and show up in the world. Our work creates space to move beyond long-standing patterns, encounter neglected or hidden parts of yourself, and develop the confidence to live more fully, with clarity, self-trust, and a deeper sense of wholeness.

When appropriate, I may incorporate EMDR and somatic-based techniques to support deeper healing. Our histories live not only in the mind, but also in the body, where memory, emotion, and experience are held in ways that words alone can’t always reach. These approaches offer an additional pathway toward relief, integration, and reconnection with your full self, tapping into the body’s innate wisdom as a vital part of the healing process.
