I am a Psychodynamic therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience in offering a deep, insight-oriented approach to healing. My practice is built on the belief that understanding our past is the key to transforming our future. I specialize in helping individuals uncover the underlying patterns and unconscious processes that shape their current lives.

My therapy style is both empathetic and analytical, tailored specifically to your unique history. Together, we will explore the "why" behind your experiences, fostering profound self-awareness and lasting emotional growth in a secure, supportive space. Whether you are navigating trauma, relationship issues, or major life transitions, I am here to help you move toward long-term resolution and authenticity.
