Areas of Expertise

While every client’s story is unique, there are certain challenges I work with often and feel especially attuned to. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship patterns, identity, self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is evidence-based, insight-oriented, and trauma-informed, and I aim to help you better understand the roots of your struggles so you can move toward lasting growth and meaningful change. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.

Some of the issues I commonly work with include:

Generalized anxiety and excessive worry
Depression and low mood
Childhood, relational, and intergenerational trauma
Low self-esteem and self-criticism
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Relationship and attachment difficulties
Peer relationships and social challenges
Family conflict and boundary challenges
Grief and life transitions
Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected
Inner child work and healing early wounds

Children & Adolescents

I provide developmentally attuned, evidence-based therapy for children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. My approach integrates play and creative expression with psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral principles to help young clients understand their feelings, strengthen coping skills, and improve communication both at home and in school.

Common concerns include anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, family conflict, emotional regulation, and social challenges. Working collaboratively with parents and caregivers, I support the child’s growth within their broader family and school systems—fostering resilience, self-understanding, and healthier relationships.

My Approach

At the core of my work is a psychodynamic approach, which means I help clients explore how their early relationships, life experiences, and unconscious patterns influence the way they think, feel, and relate in the present. Often, the symptoms we struggle with, like anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling stuck in the same relationship dynamics, have deeper roots.

Together, we gently make space for what’s beneath the surface so you can understand yourself more fully and create lasting, meaningful change.

I believe therapy is more than symptom relief - it's an opportunity to better understand your inner world, make sense of your story, and shift long-standing patterns that no longer serve you.

This kind of work takes time and trust, so I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you're free to be curious, honest, and real. While psychodynamic therapy is the foundation of my work, I also incorporate tools from other approaches like CBT and motivational interviewing based on your unique needs and goals.
