My Approach to Therapy

My work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational principles, emphasizing depth, meaning, and authentic connection. I believe that lasting change comes from understanding the stories we carry, the relationships that shape us, and the patterns that may hold us back. My style is warm, collaborative, and attentive—I strive to create a space where you can explore your experiences openly, without judgment.

Drawing on advanced training in psychoanalytic, existential, and evidence-based approaches, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work to understand not just the challenges you face, but the deeper context behind them—helping you find clarity, resilience, and renewed direction. Whether you are seeking support through a specific crisis, navigating high-pressure professional environments, or simply looking for greater fulfillment, I am committed to partnering with you in your growth.
