I take a psychodynamic and relational approach, integrating mindfulness, CBT, and DBT techniques as helpful. I work collaboratively to explore the emotions, patterns, and experiences underlying current difficulties while also addressing what feels most pressing. My style is warm yet direct, balancing support with thoughtful challenge and practical strategies when needed.

In the first session, I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the work. I’ll ask questions to better understand your current concerns, relevant history, and what may be contributing to your difficulties. We’ll identify priorities for therapy and begin developing a shared understanding of how our work can be most helpful.
