My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented, grounded in relational psychodynamic and humanistic principles. I emphasize the therapeutic relationship as a space for healing, exploring how past relational patterns influence present experiences, while supporting clients’ growth through empathy, authenticity, and deep emotional attunement.

Past patients have sought help with complex trauma histories and the challenges that come with them, such as difficulties in relationships, emotional dysregulation, chronic shame, and a fragmented or unstable sense of self. I’ve also helped patients that struggle with trust, boundary-setting, and persistent feelings of emptiness or disconnection. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and somatic complaints.

My clients often remark that I am empathetic and authentic. One of my clients recently told me, “I feel so grateful that you never lie to me.” Another said “Your presence feels like the beginning of the song “Maine” by Noah Kahan. Easy, mellow, free.” If you think we would work well together, please reach out to schedule an appointment.

Central to my approach is an exploration of early developmental experiences, as these often inform present relational patterns and emotional struggles. At the core of my work is a deeply humanistic stance; I engage as one person authentically relating to another, rather than operating from a traditional doctor–patient hierarchy.
