Adult Therapy
People often come to therapy when something feels difficult to shift on their own. You may be dealing with a loss, relationship difficulty, or major life change, or finding yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, or disconnected. Sometimes there is no single crisis, but a growing sense that certain patterns keep repeating, that relationships are becoming difficult, or that the way you have learned to cope is no longer working as well as it once did.
My goal is to help you understand the factors that shape how you feel, connect, and respond, while supporting meaningful change over time.
My Approach
My work is psychodynamic and trauma-informed, which means we can explore both what is happening now and the earlier experiences, relationships and patterns that may be shaping how you feel and respond in the present.
I also draw on Internal Family Systems, which can help when different parts of you seem to want different things—for example, when one part wants change while another feels frightened, protective, or unable to move forward.
Rather than focusing only on making difficult feelings go away, we can also explore where they may come from and what keeps them going. Understanding these patterns can open up different ways to respond to yourself, your relationships, and the situations you find yourself in. The work is collaborative and shaped around you, whether you are looking for support with something specific or want to understand yourself more deeply over time.

I offer a complimentary 20-minute introductory consultation so we can discuss what brought you to therapy, how I work, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
Contact me with a question, to arrange an initial consultation, or to explore whether therapy might be right for you.
“Therapy helped me see patterns I had been repeating for years without really noticing them. I began to understand where they came from, why certain relationships affected me so strongly, and what I wanted to do differently. I feel more grounded in myself now and much clearer about the life and relationships I want.”
