In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We will begin by getting to know your history, background, and what brings you to therapy now. I will also walk you through my practice policies and answer any questions for you. Most importantly, I will listen closely so we can clarify your goals and determine whether we are the right fit to work together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My primary approach is psychodynamic, which is gradual and reflective. In our work together, we may identify recurring patterns in different areas of your life, understand narratives that shape them, and create space for adaptive ways of relating to yourself and your environment. Depending on fit and therapeutic needs, therapeutic play elements may be integrated into psychodynamic work through reflective storytelling, metaphors, and symbols that are meaningful to each individual. These approaches can support expression and meaning-making in therapy, particularly when experiences are difficult to access or articulate through traditional talk therapy alone. Change is realistic and gradual over time, through consistent and steady effort.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Many of my clients come to therapy because they feel held back in cycles of self-doubt or difficulty moving through stress and life transitions that limit their sense of personal agency and possibility. They are often people who want to take up responsibility in how they relate to themselves and others, and who value a process that emphasize patience and steadiness.
