Discovering the underlying setup of your confusion and overwhelm is the goal of our work

How I work

I see therapy as a journey of self awareness and liberation. As adults, we often assume we should have life figured out. Yet, we’re caught off guard when overwhelmed or lost. Truth is, life is complex, and few of us possess a manual for navigating it. Any combination of difficult life circumstances, unprocessed childhood hardships, not-yet-developed skills and unexamined values usually play a role in the underlying setup of our confusion and overwhelm. I help you tease out these contributing factors and grow your authentic self, so you can dream of a thriving life and take steps toward building it. This approach applies to any specific issue such as a relationship or career issue or general emotions of dissatisfaction, overwhelm, pain and anxiety.

Therapeutic lens

My psychological lens is predominantly relational, psychoanalytic and attachments based, however I am continually expanding my perspective and I am informed by cognitive theory and recent findings in neuroscience as well as some social theories.

My approach isn’t just about addressing symptoms and finding quick relief. Instead, I aim to help you become more aware of your emotions and the meanings you attach to your experiences. I believe that many of our symptoms stem from being emotionally disconnected and stuck in unconscious patterns and behaviors, often influenced by past experiences, hidden beliefs and social pressures.

What happens in sessions

We usually start with a few sessions to understand your situation or challenge. After that, we gradually dive deeper to uncover what’s contributing to your issues and bring awareness to any underlying emotions or unconscious patterns. You lead each session by talking about what’s on your mind, or even by bringing your silence, and we explore whatever comes up. We pay attention to your dreams, thoughts, relationships, and emotions, and together we figure out how you’re making sense of your experiences and how that can change. This process helps you feel and think deeply, which is essential for living a fulfilling life. Ultimately, our work together helps you get to know yourself better, heal past wounds, and move beyond unhelpful patterns.

Short term or long term therapy

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy. The length of the sessions depends on your goals, issues, and finances. Short-term therapy helps you understand specific issues, get in touch with your emotions and find your inner compass. For deeper challenges, longer therapy is needed to uncover and work through underlying emotions and beliefs for lasting change.
