About me

From an early age, I have been deeply curious about the unseen forces that shape human behavior—the unconscious motivations, early relational patterns, and unresolved conflicts that influence how we think, feel, and interact with the world. This fascination led me to psychodynamic therapy, a modality that honors the complexity of the human psyche while offering profound opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

As a therapist, my approach is rooted in the belief that understanding the past is essential to transforming the present. Psychodynamic therapy provides a framework for exploring how childhood experiences, unconscious defenses, and internalized relationships manifest in current struggles. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can engage in this exploratory process with curiosity and compassion. Through free association, dream analysis, and the examination of transference and countertransference, we collaboratively uncover the deeper narratives that shape their lives.

What draws me most to psychodynamic work is its emphasis on depth over quick fixes. In a world that often prioritizes symptom relief, I value therapy as a journey toward lasting change—one that fosters insight, emotional resilience, and a more authentic sense of self. I am continually humbled by the courage clients show in confronting painful emotions and entrenched patterns, and I see my role as both a guide and a witness to their growth.

My clinical experiences—working with individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational difficulties—have reinforced my belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship as an agent of change. By attending to the dynamics that unfold between us in the room, we gain invaluable clues about a client’s inner world. This relational focus, paired with psychodynamic principles, allows for a therapy that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply human.

Beyond the consulting room, I am committed to ongoing learning—engaging with contemporary psychoanalytic thought, reflecting on my own unconscious biases, and integrating new insights into my practice. I view therapy not as a one-size-fits-all endeavor but as a collaborative, evolving process tailored to each individual’s unique history and needs.

Ultimately, my goal as a psychodynamic therapist is to help clients uncover the hidden threads of their stories, make meaning of their suffering, and move toward greater freedom and fulfillment. I believe that when we bring the unconscious into awareness, we open doors to profound transformation—not just for the individual, but for the relationships and communities they touch.
