I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand yourself and your unique story. Without self-awareness, it's easy to get caught in the same unhelpful patterns that leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, and joyless. These patterns often go unnoticed, preventing you from fully engaging with your life and relationships. Sometimes, what we need most is a compassionate and accepting space to safely share the deepest parts of ourselves, allowing us to see these patterns for what they truly are. This can be a powerful catalyst for change, helping you gain insight into what no longer serves you.
I specialize in providing long-term, insight-oriented psychotherapy to adults through creating a supportive and reliable space where you can address your struggles and explore your inner world. Together, we’ll examine how your past influences your present and uncover what’s holding you back from creating the life you truly want.
I believe that, deep down, we often hold the answers we’re searching for. Through a caring and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, I’m here to guide you in uncovering the deeper layers of yourself, experiences, and relationships so that you can create a life that aligns with your most authentic self.
