What's My Approach to Therapy?

You might be feeling stuck in patterns that repeat in your relationships, or carrying a sense of depression, shame, or emptiness that doesn’t easily lift. Maybe you’ve begun to wonder how much of this traces back to earlier experiences or longstanding dynamics, but you’re not sure how to untangle it.

In our work, we slow down and look carefully at what’s happening beneath the surface. I work from a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective, which means we pay attention to recurring themes, emotional reactions, and the ways your history continues to shape the present. Therapy with me is steady and reflective. It’s not about quick fixes, but about understanding yourself more fully and developing a stronger, more integrated sense of who you are.

If that kind of work speaks to you, we can begin with a conversation and see whether it feels like a good fit.

My Practice & Services

I maintain a private practice in Berkeley, California, offering in-person sessions and telehealth throughout California. I provide individual and couples psychotherapy, typically meeting weekly for 50-minute sessions.

We begin with a free 50-minute consultation to determine whether working together feels appropriate.

My Role as a Therapist

I see my role as providing a steady and reflective presence while we examine the patterns and emotional dynamics shaping your life. I do not position myself as the expert on you; rather, we work collaboratively to understand your experience more deeply and move toward greater clarity and integration.
