Therapeutic Approach

My Approach

I offer clients a depth-oriented, attachment-based, and relational psychoanalytic approach — one that honors the whole person: your present symptoms as well as the stories that brought you to this moment in your life. Our first, primary relationships often form the foundation for how we think, feel, and move through the world. That foundation, in turn, shapes our present relationships — how we show up in them and how we feel within them. In this work, I believe it's essential to deeply explore both the conscious and unconscious drives that may be quietly (or sometimes, loudly) working against you.
I believe we are all longing for the same things: to be loved, to be heard, to be known — and that, at the same time, many of us are afraid of those very things as much as we long for them. One of the greatest honors of my life is to walk alongside you as you find freedom in your deepest longings.

I know that starting therapy can feel daunting, and that this may be some of the hardest work you ever do. My hope is that even in its difficulty, you feel supported — genuinely assisted in removing whatever barriers stand in your way. I want every client to find both understanding and freedom, in themselves and in the relationships that matter most.

My therapeutic style is shaped by who I am: direct yet compassionate, light-hearted, authentic, and unafraid of humor. I believe we're here to live with greater purpose and consciousness. Because I ask you to dive deep and find your true self, I hold myself to that same standard — showing up and offering you the best of mine.

****For those acquainted with therapeutic terminology and experts in the field, I often study the writings and teachings of the following practitioners: Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Carl Jung, D.W. Winnicott, Dan Siegel, Bessel van der Kolk, Philip Bromberg, Galit Atlas, among others.****

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”

- Carl Jung

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."

- Carl Jung
