My Ideal Client

Many of the patterns that shape life were formed long ago and continue to influence how we think, feel, and respond. Sometimes people know what they want help with. Sometimes they only know that something feels off. Therapy can help clarify. Therapy offers an opportunity to bring these patterns into awareness, see life with greater clarity, and create more freedom, choice, and possibility. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both acceptance and practical change.

My Approach to Helping

Calm the nervous system by learning to relate to emotions differently. Develop new patterns by becoming skillful at tuning into yourself. Discover what is true for your life and your path ahead. My work combines depth psychology with practical approaches that help people better understand their thoughts, emotions, patterns, and choices. My approach is trauma-informed. I integrate concepts from Jungian psychology, symbols, and the unconscious with tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, helping people develop greater insight, freedom, and choice. Together, we focus on understanding your story, make sense of difficult experiences, and identify meaningful ways to move forward.

My Approach to Helping

Strategies that once helped to cope can begin to feel limiting. Therapy can help shed light and support new ways of relating to yourself and your life. • Anxiety & Overthinking • Depression & Mood Changes • Addiction & Recovery • Harsh Inner Critic • Rumination The past does not determine the future, but it often shapes how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Understanding your story can help illuminate patterns and open new possibilities.

Develop new patterns by becoming skillful at tuning into yourself. Discover what is true for your life and your path ahead.
