Individual Therapy

My approach is psychodynamic and relational. That means we work to understand not just what you're struggling with, but why — exploring the patterns, early experiences, and unconscious beliefs that shape how you move through the world today.

 

Sessions are open-ended and exploratory. We follow what's alive for you rather than a fixed agenda. I draw on psychodynamic and relational frameworks as my foundation, and use EMDR for trauma processing when it's indicated.

 

I've found that genuine curiosity — mine and yours — is what moves therapy forward. I'll share observations directly when I think they're useful, and I'll work hard to understand you before I do. Clients often find that the patterns that brought them into therapy have roots they hadn't expected, and that understanding those roots is what finally creates room to change.

 

Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of good outcomes. I work collaboratively with clients, approaching their concerns with respect and a focus on their agency. I encourage every client to speak with a few therapists before deciding — you're the best judge of fit.
