My Approach

My work is grounded in a psychodynamic and relational approach to therapy. We take time to explore how past experiences and internal conflicts shape present day feelings and choices, and how those same patterns tend to surface again in relationships. Therapy with me is less about symptom relief or quick solutions and more about thinking together, about what is happening beneath the surface.

Sessions with me tend to be reflective and exploratory. I pay close attention to emotional experience and to the specific language a person uses, and I make room for silence when it arises. These pauses are intentional. They allow something to emerge that might otherwise be talked past.

I also attend closely to what develops within the therapeutic relationship itself. Those moments often illuminate patterns that show up elsewhere in a person's life. At times I will offer an observation or a question to help us think together about something that feels unclear or charged or hard to put into words. The pace is deliberate. Depth and curiosity matter more here than technique.

My primary orientation is psychodynamic, though I draw from other perspectives when the work calls for it. Every person brings something different into the room, and the therapy takes its shape from that.
