Experience and approach:

People often come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. In our sessions, you don’t need to have things figured out. You can bring confusion, contradiction, or not knowing where to start.

My approach is integrative and psychodynamic, which means we’ll be curious about how your past and present connect, but always in a way that feels relevant to you now. I draw on different ways of working, but the relationship we build is central.

Sessions are a space where you can speak freely, pause, reflect, and sometimes sit with things that feel unclear. I won’t try to fit you into a box or offer quick answers. Instead, I aim to help you stay with your experience long enough for something new to emerge, whether that’s insight, a shift in perspective, or simply feeling more understood.

Over time, this process can help you develop a deeper awareness of yourself, your relationships, and the choices available to you.
