Areas of Focus

Anxiety | Depression | Trauma | Relationship Issues | Life Transitions 

Anxiety can present as persistent worry, overthinking, restlessness, or a constant sense of being on edge. It may feel difficult to slow down internally, trust decisions, or feel settled, even when things appear “fine” on the outside.

Depression often involves feelings of heaviness, disconnection, low motivation, or emotional numbness. It can affect energy, self-worth, and the ability to feel engaged with daily life or relationships.

Trauma may stem from overwhelming or unresolved experiences and can shape how a person relates to themselves, others, and the world. It often shows up as heightened reactivity, emotional shutdown, difficulty feeling safe, or repeating patterns that feel hard to explain or change.

Relationship Issues can include recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, boundary challenges, or patterns of closeness and distance that feel confusing or painful. These dynamics often echo earlier relational experiences and can impact both intimate and broader relationships.

Life Transitions, such as career changes, college adjustment, relationship shifts, or major life decisions—can bring uncertainty, internal conflict, and emotional strain. These periods often surface questions about identity, direction, and what matters most.

Therapeutic Approaches

Psychodynamic Therapy | Internal Family Systems (IFS) | Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) | Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

My work is grounded in depth-oriented psychotherapy, with an emphasis on understanding internal dynamics, emotional patterns, and the ways past experiences continue to shape present-day thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Skills-based approaches are used thoughtfully and selectively, always in service of deeper insight and lasting change.

Psychodynamic Therapy forms the foundation of my work. It focuses on understanding how early experiences, internal conflicts, and unconscious patterns influence current emotional life and relational experiences. The process is reflective and insight-oriented, with attention to meaning, emotional awareness, and recurring themes over time.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a depth-oriented, parts-based approach that views the mind as consisting of different internal states, each shaped by experience and serving a protective function. Work emphasizes curiosity and compassion toward these parts, supporting greater internal coherence, self-understanding, and flexibility.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is integrated as a trauma-informed, depth-oriented approach to support the processing of unresolved experiences that continue to influence emotional responses and internal patterns. The focus is on integration and meaning-making rather than symptom reduction alone.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used selectively as a supportive tool rather than a primary framework. CBT techniques may be incorporated to increase awareness of thought and behavior patterns when they illuminate deeper emotional dynamics or support stability alongside insight-oriented work.

While these approaches reflect the primary frameworks that inform my work, therapy is not limited to any single model. I draw from a range of techniques as clinically appropriate and take an active, engaged approach, which may include offering observations, asking direct questions, and thoughtfully challenging patterns in support of insight, growth, and meaningful change. All work is tailored to each client’s history, internal world, and therapeutic goals.
