Introduction

Many of us have gotten very good at survival and even success while simultaneously feeling a void in our lives. What about connection, self-acceptance and even joy? We sense so much more is possible but don’t know where or how to begin to create this kind of depth in our lives. As a psychodynamically oriented therapist, my approach is rooted in the belief that true healing and personal growth come from a deep understanding of ourselves—our histories, our desires, and the patterns that shape how we engage with the world. Through our work together, I aim to help you connect more deeply with your authentic self—exploring unconscious beliefs, past trauma, unresolved conflicts, and internalized narratives that may be holding you back. I invite you to explore the layers of your identity, to uncover hidden strengths, and to break free from patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is to support you on your journey toward self-actualization—living a life that is true to who you are, not what others expect of you.
