The approach
Therapy that goes deeper than coping skills
Psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy start from a simple idea: much of what drives us happens outside our awareness. Early relationships, unspoken feelings and old ways of protecting ourselves keep shaping how we love, work and see ourselves.
Together we notice these patterns as they show up — in your life and in the room — so you can understand them, loosen their hold, and choose differently. The result is often lasting change, not just relief.
- A non-judging, attentive listener
- Making sense of what is yours and what belongs to others
- Finding your own voice and trusting your judgment
What I treat
People come to therapy with many different concerns
Depression
Making room for feelings that have gone unspoken for a long time.
Trauma
Working through experiences at a pace that feels safe.
A difficult family member
Finding your footing when someone close is hard to live with.
Relationship issues
Seeing the patterns you bring, and the ones brought to you.
Parenting concerns
Thinking clearly about your child — and about yourself as a parent.
Exploratory therapy
For anyone who wants to know themselves more deeply.
