I’m a therapist who specializes in helping clients navigate codependency and trauma by uncovering the deeper, often unconscious patterns that shape their relationships and self-perception. Using a psychodynamic approach, I guide clients in exploring how past experiences influence their present struggles, working through defense mechanisms, attachment wounds, and unresolved emotions. Through this process, I help clients develop greater self-awareness, heal from old narratives, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections with themselves and others. My goal is to provide a space for deep reflection and lasting transformation, empowering clients to break free from cycles of codependency and emotional pain.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you can expect a warm and open space to dive into what’s weighing on you, whether it’s patterns in your relationships, struggles with codependency, or the lingering effects of past trauma. As we talk, I’ll guide you through understanding how your past may still be affecting your present life. Together, we’ll explore what you hope to achieve in therapy, and I’ll introduce my psychodynamic approach, which goes beyond just symptoms to uncover the deeper emotions and unconscious patterns that shape who you are. My goal is to help you feel heard, safe, and understood as we take the first step toward healing and growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, I believe my strength lies in my ability to create a deeply empathetic and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their most vulnerable experiences. I have a strong intuition for uncovering unconscious patterns and helping clients understand how their past influences their present behavior. With my expertise in psychodynamic therapy, I guide clients through complex emotional landscapes, particularly when it comes to trauma and codependency. I’m skilled at fostering self-awareness and helping clients break free from harmful cycles, so they can build healthier relationships with themselves and others. My genuine care, patience, and commitment to my clients’ growth are central to the way I support and empower them on their healing journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve clients who are struggling with codependency, trauma, and relational challenges. These individuals may have experienced childhood wounds, attachment issues, or significant life events that continue to impact their relationships and emotional well-being. Clients who feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, excessive caretaking, or fear of abandonment may benefit from my approach. I work well with those who are ready to explore their unconscious behaviors, gain deeper self-awareness, and heal from past traumas that are affecting their present lives. Additionally, I support individuals who are seeking to break free from unhealthy relational patterns and build stronger, more authentic connections with themselves and others.
