Approach

I draw from psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral frameworks, adapting my approach to each person and their concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy (PDT)

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences and relationships shape present-day thoughts, emotions, and ways of relating — often outside of our awareness. Many of these tendencies developed for good reasons, helping you adapt earlier in life, but can become sources of distress or limitation over time. In our work, we pay attention to recurring emotional themes and relational patterns, including how they may emerge in the therapy itself. As these dynamics become clearer, they become less instinctive, allowing new ways of responding to emerge.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — and the way certain responses, despite feeling familiar or necessary, can quietly maintain distress over time. These responses often feel rigid, even when they no longer reflect reality or serve your well-being. Together, we examine what these responses are doing rather than simply trying to shift them. Over time, what once felt automatic becomes something you can recognize, question, and change.
