EnglishReaching out for support can be a quiet but powerful act. Whether you're feeling stuck, seeking clarity, or wanting something to shift in how you relate to yourself or others, this can be a place to begin. Therapy with me is thoughtful, respectful, and grounded — a space where you can be met as you are. It’s a chance to better understand your experiences, clarify what matters to you, and move toward something more connected and meaningful.
Background
As a registered psychologist, I offer a grounded and reflective space to explore what’s happening inside and between you and others, in both individual and group therapy. People often come feeling stuck in familiar patterns, unsure how to shift them. Through steady, thoughtful conversation, we’ll make space for clarity, emotional depth, and more honest connection — with yourself and those around you. This work suits those who value depth and want to understand themselves more fully.
Your therapeutic experience with me
Therapy with me is steady, thoughtful, and collaborative. I don’t rush to solutions or push for quick change. Instead, I stay curious with you — working to make sense of feelings, patterns, and relationships that feel confusing or stuck. I aim to create a space that’s respectful, engaged, and attuned, where deeper understanding can grow over time. You can expect honest conversation, moments of insight, gentle confrontation, and a calm presence that supports lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches
These are my primary therapeutic approaches, backed by specialized training and extensive clinical experience.
Psychodynamic Therapy
By paying close attention to patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and relationships, we can begin to understand where these patterns were formed, how they once served you, and how they may be limiting you now. This reflective process allows deeper insight to emerge — opening the door to new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Existential Therapy
Together, we’ll tackle life’s big questions—meaning, choice, freedom, isolation, and mortality. Facing these themes directly can lead to a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity in how you live.
Narrative Therapy
By unpacking the stories you tell yourself, we can step back from self-limiting narratives and explore richer, more empowering alternatives. This helps you gain perspective, agency, and a stronger sense of self.
Attachment Lens
Grounded in the idea that early patterns shape our relationships, this approach builds trust in our therapeutic connection so you can safely explore intimacy, belonging, and emotional repair.
