What's My Approach to Therapy?

You’re holding it together, and it’s starting to feel unsustainable. You might appear highly functional—capable, insightful, getting through the day—but inside you're tense, self-critical, or stuck. The same patterns in relationships or work keep looping, even though you “get” them intellectually. When coping and insight don’t bring relief, it can leave you wondering why nothing seems to shift. I specialize in foundational work that goes beyond quick fixes, helping shift patterns at their root so change can actually last.

My Practice & Services

We’ll explore the survival strategies you’ve honed to a fine art—like perfectionism or people-pleasing—along with the nervous system patterns and core beliefs that quietly drive your suffering. Our work is flexible and responsive, making space for both deeper exploration and whatever feels most pressing in your life as it unfolds.

I’m an active, engaged guide—helping you not just understand these connections, but practice new ways of being. If you’re seeking therapy that honors complexity, depth, and real life—where you can explore deeply, vent freely, or simply show up as you are—I invite you to reach out. Let’s talk and see if this feels like a good fit.

My Role as a Therapist

With over 20 years in the field, I bring not only clinical expertise but a deeply human perspective on change. I value lived wisdom as much as formal training. My approach is depth-oriented and integrative. Grounded in psychodynamic and attachment theories, we explore the 'why' beneath reactions. Think of it as debugging the old software rather than just closing pop-up windows.

I integrate practical tools (CBT, mindfulness, body awareness) to help insights translate into daily life. And our relationship becomes a resource?a place to process deeply, problem-solve practically, or simply catch your breath when life feels overwhelming.
