My Approach

I believe that effective psychotherapy must be personalized to meet each individual's unique needs. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from several therapeutic modalities, carefully adapting them based on your perspective, specific needs, and personality. As a certified psychoanalyst, my foundational approach is deeply informed by psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy techniques. Additionally, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), specifically the third-wave CBT method known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Relational Frame Theory.

I recognize therapy terminology can be overwhelming, so put simply: together we will explore and understand the underlying causes of your symptoms or difficulties, and develop the most effective strategies to address them.

My practice is grounded in deep professional training and credentials, combined with a profound respect for your values, beliefs, and personal experiences. Your therapy is about your needs, not mine. While I bring my expertise to support and guide you, I strongly believe in the value and validity of your perspectives. Our therapeutic journey will be collaborative—I will learn from you, honor your insights, and tailor our sessions accordingly.

My Clients

Clients often seek therapy because they feel lost or uncertain, needing guidance toward a more fulfilling life. Others come with specific concerns, such as persistent anxiety, disruptive behaviors, challenging relationships, or difficulties in their professional and social lives.

I also frequently work with parents overwhelmed by the challenges their children face, who find parenting in today’s complex world intimidating and stressful. These parents may seek practical tools for managing behavior or support to make their parenting experience more rewarding and effective.

Additionally, I work extensively with couples, helping them navigate communication challenges, deepen intimacy, and strengthen their partnership. My practice also includes therapy for children, where I employ age-appropriate approaches, including play therapy, to address emotional, social, and behavioral difficulties, fostering resilience and growth from an early age.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that each person is genuinely striving to be their best self. Everyone desires peace, safety, and excitement about what each new day might bring. My goal is to help you achieve this fulfilling state of mind.
