About me
I’m a Clinical and Health Psychologist specializing in depth-oriented psychotherapy. I work with people struggling with anxiety, shame, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and persistent inner patterns that do not shift through insight or willpower alone. Many of my clients are successful, highly capable, and outwardly functional, yet internally feel stuck, divided, or burdened by reactions they do not fully understand or feel able to change.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and supported by extensive training in experiential, body-oriented, trauma-focused, and psychodynamic therapy. I have completed a four-year training in Psychoorganic Analysis, a modality with strong psychodynamic roots that integrates mind, emotion, and body. In recent years, my focus has increasingly moved toward newer experiential and accelerated psychodynamic approaches that aim to transform emotional patterns at their roots, not only help people manage them more effectively. Alongside my one-to-one clinical work, I bring many years of experience facilitating groups and retreats, which has strengthened my capacity to work with vulnerability, emotional defenses, and the relational patterns that shape how people protect themselves and connect with others.
In therapy, I aim for more than symptom relief or better coping. I help clients understand what keeps them stuck, work through the patterns that repeat, and create deeper, lasting change. My style is grounded, thoughtful, and direct. The aim is a stronger sense of self, less inner conflict, and more freedom, clarity, and connection in life and relationships.

Approach
I work with IFS and experiential therapy. My thinking is also influenced by body-oriented, trauma-informed and psychodynamic approaches.
In a session, we may talk about what has happened, but I will also ask what you notice as you talk about it. It may be a feeling, something happening in the body, an impulse to move away from the subject, or a need to explain, control or shut down.
I do not see anxiety, self-criticism or avoidance simply as bad habits. Usually these reactions have had some protective role. We try to understand what that role is and why the reaction may still be needed.
Sometimes insight helps. Sometimes you can understand a pattern very well and still react in the same way. When that happens, we stay closer to the reaction itself — how it feels, what sets it off and what it may be protecting. I do not try to push through it before we understand why it is there. Over time, these reactions may not need to take over in quite the same way.
