If you’re feeling overwhelmed by loss, life changes, or relationship challenges, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll gently explore your past and present to understand the beliefs and patterns shaping your life. In our warm, supportive space, we’ll work hand in hand toward healing and transformation, nurturing self-awareness, and fostering deeper, more meaningful connections with yourself and those you care about.
I take a thoughtful and compassionate approach, using integrative psychodynamic therapy to help you navigate relationships—whether with yourself or others. My experience includes guiding couples in supporting each other more effectively and helping individuals through significant life transitions, such as grief or dealing with cancer.
In our sessions, l create a space where you can relax, find stability, and truly listen to yourself or your loved ones. Life can feel overwhelming, and in the effort to keep everything together, we often forget to hear what really matters. As your therapist, I will listen with care, holding space for your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
