I believe therapy begins with the experience of being genuinely seen and accepted. My approach is humanistic, relational, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change grows through connection, curiosity, and compassion rather than judgment or pressure to become someone else. I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship difficulties, addiction and recovery, persistent depression, grief, and the lasting effects of early loss and trauma. I’m particularly interested in helping people understand the patterns that once helped them survive but may now leave them feeling disconnected from themselves or others. In couples work, we explore how personal histories and protective responses shape the ways partners communicate, experience conflict, and seek closeness. With individuals, I help create space to reconnect with their own feelings, values, and sense of identity, especially when depression, grief, or addiction has made that connection difficult. My work integrates humanistic, attachment-based, and psychodynamic perspectives, along with mindfulness and somatic practices. I aim to offer a steady, compassionate space where you can explore difficult experiences honestly, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and move toward a more meaningful and connected life.
