My Approach

I see therapy as a space to slow down and pay closer attention to experience. People often arrive with a sense that something feels stuck or difficult to name. Rather than rushing toward solutions, I’m interested in creating the conditions where what has been pushed aside can begin to come into view.

Everyone suffers, and that suffering is shaped by personal history, relational experience, and broader social contexts. Therapy can help us develop the capacity to stay with that experience, to recognize what can be changed, and to make room for what cannot. Over time, this kind of attention often allows new possibilities to emerge.

I don’t approach symptoms as problems to eliminate. I understand them as meaningful responses that developed for a reason. In our work together, we listen for what these responses might be protecting, expressing, or asking for. This stance allows the work to proceed with curiosity rather than judgment.

My approach is relational and depth-oriented, with attention to the body and to the social worlds we inhabit. I draw from psychoanalytic, humanistic and somatic orientations, but I do not follow a single method or set of techniques. What matters most is how we work together, and what becomes possible within that relationship.

Over our time together, many people find it easier to remain present with themselves and with others, even in moments that feel charged or uncomfortable. Awareness becomes a resource helping you respond rather than react and live in alignment your own values and integrity.
