My Approach

People often come to therapy already knowing a great deal about themselves. They may understand where certain patterns began or recognize ways of relating that repeatedly cause difficulty, yet find that understanding alone has not been enough to bring about change.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are grounded in the idea that important aspects of our emotional lives are not always readily available to us. Through careful attention to thoughts, feelings, relationships, and what emerges between patient and therapist, experiences that have been difficult to recognize or put into words can gradually become more available to experience and thought.

The work is not only about understanding why we are the way we are. Over time, it can open possibilities for experiencing ourselves and relating to others in ways that may previously have felt unavailable or even unimaginable. There is no predetermined path or particular way you are expected to be; what becomes important is something we discover together.
