Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed psychologist who works with individuals experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other emotional difficulties. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, helping clients explore longstanding patterns and understand how past experiences continue to shape their present lives. I strive to create a warm and thoughtful therapeutic space where clients feel understood and supported.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels both supportive and exploratory. I work collaboratively with clients to understand the deeper roots of their struggles and build greater self-awareness. This process can help clients feel less stuck, navigate challenges more effectively, and engage more fully in their lives.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll focus on developing an understanding of what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current concerns, personal history, relationships, and goals, while also making space for any questions you may have. My aim is to create a warm, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. Together, we'll begin to identify what you hope to gain from therapy and consider how we can work toward those goals.
