Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Licensed and experienced clinical psychologist, specialized in psychoanalysis and psychodynamics

About Me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My role is to offer a steady, respectful space where you can speak freely, feel understood, and make sense of what’s been weighing on you. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface and work toward more clarity, relief, and self-trust.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, conversational pace where curiosity guides us more than judgment, and practical steps grow from what feels possible for you. In the quiet of my office or during online sessions, we use short check-ins, focused reflection, and simple experiments between meetings so change shows up in daily life. I track themes with you, adjust the tempo when needed.
