My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to each person’s unique experiences and needs.
Psychodynamic therapy helps us explore unconscious patterns, emotional themes, and relational dynamics that may have developed over time. Often, people notice themselves repeating the same painful experiences or emotional cycles without fully understanding why. By increasing awareness of these patterns, therapy can open the door to new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS), which views the mind as made up of different “parts” that developed to help us cope, protect ourselves, or survive difficult experiences. This approach can help clients build greater self-compassion while understanding the internal conflicts that may contribute to anxiety, shame, avoidance, or emotional distress.
Mindfulness practices can further support this work by helping clients become more aware of their emotions, thoughts, and physical experiences in the present moment. Developing this awareness often creates more space for intentional choices rather than automatic reactions.
Therapy is not about forcing change or becoming a completely different person. Instead, it can be a process of reconnecting with yourself, understanding your experiences more deeply, and building a life that feels more aligned and authentic.
