Psychotherapy
Deeper attention for what keeps returning.
For anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and recurring emotional patterns.
The work addresses symptoms while seeking to understand what keeps them in place.
Common entry points
- Anxiety, depression, grief, or persistent shame.
- Relationship difficulties or recurring conflict.
- Burnout, isolation, or the emotional demands of responsibility.
- Life transitions that unsettle identity or direction.
- Patterns you recognize but struggle to change.
What the work looks like
We begin with what brings you in and what you want to change. Alongside symptom relief, we explore how personal history and recurring emotional and relational patterns may be shaping the difficulty.
My approach draws on psychoanalytic and relational training. I use cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, mindfulness, and practical skills-based methods when helpful.
What happens between us can also help us understand patterns that arise in other relationships, including expectations of criticism, rejection, or the need to please.
I also work with adolescents and families, considering development, relationships at home, and the pressures of school, sport, and growing independence.
