What's My Approach to Therapy?
If you’re here, you may be feeling stuck, experiencing difficulties in your relationships, overwhelmed, or quietly unsettled. Perhaps you are carrying feelings that are hard to name, patterns that repeat despite your best efforts, or a sense that something important inside you hasn’t yet been fully heard. You might be managing well on the outside while internally feeling confused, lonely, anxious, ashamed, or emotionally exhausted.
I offer a psychodynamic space where we can take time to understand what is happening for you, not only in the present, but in the deeper emotional patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. I work with people who are drawn to reflecting on their inner lives, even if that curiosity comes alongside doubt, hesitation, or uncertainty. You do not need to arrive with clear answers. Part of the work is allowing meaning to emerge through our conversations.
My way of working is grounded in careful listening, emotional sensitivity, and respect for your pace. I pay attention not only to what you say, but to how feelings are experienced, avoided, or repeated within relationships, including in the therapeutic relationship itself. Difficulties that feel confusing or self-defeating often begin to make sense when understood in the context of earlier experiences and attachments.
I aim to offer a relationship that feels steady, containing, and emotionally engaged. A place where difficult feelings can be spoken rather than pushed away, and where parts of yourself that have felt muted or burdensome can begin to find language. At times the work may feel challenging, but it is often clarifying, relieving, and quietly transformative. We may spend time with uncertainty, notice moments of discomfort or resistance, and think together about what they might be holding.
People often come to me with experiences of anxiety, low mood, shame, loss, relational difficulties, identity questions, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Whatever brings you, I will meet you with seriousness, warmth, and curiosity, not to offer quick fixes, but to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and greater freedom in how you live and relate.
If you are looking for a therapist who values depth, reflection, and emotional meaning, and who understands change as something that unfolds through relationship, working together may feel like a good fit.
