For many people the fast pace and stress of different areas of their life including careers, financial issues, children, partners and parents can become overwhelming and lead to anxiety, depression, and other issues.

Often times in therapy, issues are addressed superficially only. This leads to a recurrence of episodes where the patient seems to improve but never really resolve their issues. A psychodynamic approach targets the roots of the problems, not simply the symptoms. My aim is the core, the starting point of it all, and from there work to resolve whatever else stems from that origin. My goal is for the patient to live a wholesome, functional, but above all, a meaningful life.

What a human thing you are going through right now. It is nearly impossible to get through a human life without depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. We don't have the same story but we are not immune to the human experience. Oftentimes, it takes a lot of unlearning unhelpful patterns and our early conditioning to become well. Resolving the root cause of the suffering. What does help look like to you? How do you know when you are "feeling better" and therapy is working? What does "better" even look like? These are important questions when working with a clinical therapist, to hold the light onto, and when getting to know yourself.
