My approach
My approach is psychodynamic and relational: together we look at the patterns that run through your life — especially in your relationships — and where they began. Exploring those patterns builds the insight and self-understanding from which growth, wellbeing, and change become possible.
The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work together. Therapy is most effective as an honest conversation, in a space that feels safe.
People come to therapy wanting different things. Some wish to understand long-standing patterns; others seek steady support through a difficult season. Both are good reasons to be here, and therapy is shaped accordingly.
I also offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a structured, skills-based treatment and the gold-standard approach to chronic insomnia. CBT-I is typically a short course of four to six sessions in which you learn the foundations of how sleep works and the skills that restore healthy sleep. Some people come specifically for CBT-I; for others, it can be woven into ongoing therapy when needed.
Who I work with
I work with adults across the lifespan — young adults establishing themselves, adults in the demands and crossroads of midlife, and older adults navigating new chapters. Common concerns include:
- Depression & low mood
- Anxiety & worry
- Relationship distress
- Life transitions & adjustment
- Grief & loss
- Family conflict
- Women's issues
- Insomnia
- Stress in high-performing careers
- Fertility challenges
- Loneliness & limited social support
What to expect
We discuss what's bringing you to therapy, answer your questions, and get a sense of fit.
A structured exploration of your history, your present concerns, and what you're hoping for. That understanding shapes where we begin.
Therapy unfolds gradually — exploring patterns and building insight.
