LMFT, 1 years of experience
New to Grow
Most people don’t need more advice. They need space to slow down enough to hear what’s actually happening inside them. My work is less about fixing and more about listening; not just to the words, but to what’s underneath them. The pace of our conversations will be different from the rest of your life: slower, steadier, more honest. My goal is to help you come into contact with yourself again, to notice what’s true and what you really want.
Our first session is mostly a conversation. I’ll want to hear what brings you in, what you’ve already tried, and what feels unresolved. I don’t move through a fixed agenda; we start with what feels most alive or pressing for you. I’ll ask questions, clarify what I hear, and begin to get a sense of how you make meaning of things. From there, we decide together what direction makes sense.
My work is direct, attentive, and rooted in depth psychology. I remember details, make connections, and help people see the logic behind patterns that once felt senseless. I’m equally comfortable sitting in silence or asking hard questions when they’re needed. Many clients find that the process becomes surprisingly creative; we may draw on dreams, language, and cultural history to understand what’s being worked through.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain about your next step, our work will start by slowing things down. I listen carefully for what’s left out; not to judge, but to help you see what’s been steering your life without awareness. From there, we’ll work toward what feels good and sustainable in your relationships, your work, and your passions.
Explores unconscious patterns, early attachments, and the meanings behind symptoms and defenses. I help clients notice the subtle ways past experiences and internal conflicts shape their current relationships, desires, and sense of self.
Attends to loss in its many forms: death, separation, identity shifts, and transitions. My work helps clients make room for grief without rushing toward resolution, finding meaning and continuity in what has been lost.
Acknowledges how overwhelming experiences affect the nervous system, sense of safety, and capacity for trust. I work at a pace that respects each person’s tolerance for exploration while gradually expanding it.
Focuses on questions of meaning, purpose, freedom, and mortality. Many people come to therapy during times when life feels empty, uncertain, or disconnected from what once mattered. My approach helps them face those questions rather than bypass them.
Examines how early and ongoing relationship patterns repeat in the present. Together we notice how these dynamics emerge in therapy itself, using them to deepen insight and create more energizing ways of relating.
