About me

​My practice is the result of many years spent studying the ideas of others, as well as the complixities of my own self. Through this I learned: We are essentially a collection of the relationships we have moved through—each one leaving its mark on how we see ourselves today.
I don’t sit back as a detached observer. I see our sessions as a live, honest interaction. This isn't about analyzing a problem from a distance, but about experiencing the possibility of change as it happens between us.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.

Whether you come with a specific, immediate challenge or a desire to understand deeper recurring patterns, the work starts where you are. My approach is flexible; we can focus on a particular goal over a shorter period, or allow for a more open-ended exploration. Both are valid ways to begin. ​The work is about creating a setting where you can be heard without the pressure to perform or "fix" yourself on a schedule. We bring a steady curiosity to how you connect with others and where you might be holding back. We pay attention to the stories you’ve lived and the patterns that show up in our sessions, moving at a pace that feels right to you.
