My approach to treatment

My work is rooted in relational and psychodynamic therapy. I believe lasting change begins with understanding yourself on a deeper level, including the patterns, expectations, and emotional roles that formed in earlier relationships. Insight allows you to respond to your inner world with intention instead of habit.

I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when it supports your goals, especially in working with difficult emotions, stress, and internal pressure. Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It is about knowing yourself, befriending your inner world, and creating more space to live in alignment with your needs, values, and truth.

  • Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand how your past experiences and relationships shape the way you feel, think, and respond in the present. It’s a space to explore patterns that might keep repeating—like self-doubt, conflict in relationships, or difficulty trusting, and begin to see where they come from. Through this process, you can gain insight into your emotions, uncover unconscious beliefs, and develop more freedom to respond rather than react. The goal isn’t just to manage symptoms, but to understand yourself on a deeper level so that lasting change can occur.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps you build a more flexible and compassionate relationship with your thoughts and feelings. Instead of struggling to control or avoid painful emotions, ACT teaches you how to make room for them while staying focused on what truly matters to you. Through mindfulness, self-awareness, and small, values-based actions, you learn to move toward the kind of life you want, even when challenges or difficult emotions show up. The goal is not to eliminate discomfort, but to help you live with greater meaning, presence, and self-acceptance.
