I provide individual psychotherapy for adults in a private, one-on-one setting.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic psychotherapy, also known as psychoanalytic psychotherapy, is a form of talk therapy grounded in psychoanalytic theory.

Unlike approaches that focus primarily on teaching skills or solving immediate problems, psychodynamic therapy emphasizes understanding the emotional patterns that develop over a lifetime.

There is no fixed agenda for our conversations. Instead, sessions are guided by whatever feels meaningful in the moment. This may include current relationships, childhood experiences, dreams, recurring thoughts, difficult emotions, or experiences that seem ordinary but continue to stay with you.

By paying close attention to these experiences over time, we often discover patterns that had previously remained outside of awareness. As those patterns become clearer, people frequently experience greater freedom in their relationships, work, creativity, and everyday life.
