Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and thoughtful. I offer a calm, containing space where you can feel safe to explore what’s on your mind and in your body — including things that might feel difficult to name or fully understand yet. I work relationally, which means I pay close attention not only to what’s happening in your life, but also to what may emerge between us in the therapy. Sometimes these moments help us make sense of deeper patterns that repeat in relationships or in how you experience yourself emotionally. While I’m empathic and supportive, I also challenge when needed — helping you notice what’s happening both on the surface and underneath it. Together, we can begin to bring unconscious patterns into awareness and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

“If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe This quote captures something important about how I see therapy. I offer a space where we can be curious together — where we can think about what’s going on for you now, and also explore the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be shaping things in the present. We’ll take time to understand how you’ve coped — physically and psychologically — not with judgment, but with care and curiosity. Even ways of being that now feel painful or stuck often made sense at one time. We’ll also pay attention to the body, which can hold feelings and stories that haven’t yet been spoken. Some sessions may feel challenging, especially as we begin to touch into painful or unconscious material. This is a natural part of the process. My role is to stay alongside you, to help hold things when they feel hard, and to think with you about what’s emerging — both in words and beneath them. Most of all, our work happens within a relationship that is safe, contained and respectful — a space where all parts of you are welcome.
