My approach is direct, honest, and engaged. I want to understand what matters to you, what has been getting in the way, and what needs to change. My work is informed by Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), which explores how emotions, past experiences, and protective patterns shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others.

Research shows that insight alone isn't always enough. You can understand why a pattern developed and still find yourself repeating it. In therapy, we'll work toward both understanding what's happening beneath the surface and making changes that carry over into your everyday life. I'll listen carefully, ask questions, and challenge you when appropriate.
