My Approach
Are you seeking more than just temporary relief from your challenges? Through a depth-oriented approach, I will support you with addressing current difficulties by going beyond surface-level symptoms to address the root causes of your struggles. With advanced training in relational psychodynamic therapy, I offer a weekly space to support you with examining how current and past experiences, relationships, and your socio-cultural context influence your current feelings and concerns.
In our sessions, I will closely attend to your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, guiding you to identify and transform recurring patterns and core conflicts. I will help you make connections between these patterns and themes to identify how these repetitive elements are interrelated and impact various aspects of your life. This process can help you understand why certain issues keep resurfacing and how they influence your current life
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to our work. I am dedicated to creating a supportive and empathetic environment where you can explore your full humanity. I honor and center your unique experiences and inner wisdom throughout our journey together.
While some therapies focus on short term symptom relief, depth-oriented psychotherapy provides a pathway to profound, enduring change. A weekly practice of self reflection will help you connect more deeply with yourself, find fulfillment in your relationships, and gain clarity on your needs, desires, and find direction in your life.
If you desire a dedicated space for self-discovery and emotional growth, let’s start this transformative journey together.
