Services / Individual therapy
Reimagine your relationship with yourself.
What would it feel like to finally understand yourself? Together, we’ll look at the patterns keeping you stuck, where they come from, and what they’re protecting you from, so you can start choosing a life that feels truer to who you are and what you want.

Psychodynamic & attachment-based.
Our past has a way of showing up in our present, often in the relationships that matter most. So much of what we feel in the present is rooted in what we’ve lived before. Together, we’ll slow down and look at how your experiences have shaped the way you love, trust, and protect yourself, and start to make sense of the feelings that don’t quite fit.
The more clearly you can see your own story, the more freedom you have to write what comes next. You may find more clarity, feel more connected to the people in your life, and have more freedom to live the life you want.

The process
What our work will look like
The first few sessions are mostly me listening: what brings you in, a bit of your history, what you’re hoping for. There’s nothing to prepare, and no pressure to tell it all at once.
We’ll meet weekly, at the same time each week, for 50 minutes. You bring what’s on your mind, and I listen for the threads underneath it. What happens between the two of us is part of the work too, and the relationship we build becomes one of the most powerful parts of therapy.
Change tends to show up gradually: in how you relate to yourself and other people, in what you can feel, and in what you’re able to say out loud. Together, you can explore new ways of being and relating.
Who you’d be working with
All in its own time.
Before I was a therapist, I spent fifteen years as a designer. The part I always loved most was the process, when you don’t know yet what something wants to be and you have to sit with it a while. Therapy asks for that same presence and patience. We are vast. What needs to be thought, said, held, seen, lived, and experienced needs time and space to present itself. I’m here to be present to the full and multifaceted you.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with people experiencing depression?
Yes, including the forms of depression that are easy to miss from the outside: the kind that coexists with high functioning and an apparently intact life. People often come not because they can’t get out of bed, but because life feels hollow, flat, or somehow not their own. We look at the history and meaning of the depression, what has become muted, cut off, or turned inward, and how those patterns can shift through witnessing and understanding.
Can therapy help with shame?
Yes, and this is some of the most important work I do. Shame is self-concealing: it makes disclosure feel dangerous, so it often goes unnamed in therapy. I move toward shame with care and curiosity, not confrontation. We look at where it came from, what it’s protecting, and how it operates in your relationships and inner life. That kind of shame has often been carried alone for a long time; understanding it can be one of the most freeing things therapy makes possible.
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
That’s more common than you’d think, and it’s not a problem at all. Sometimes not knowing what to talk about becomes the place we start. I’m a partner with you, and over time the space starts to feel more natural, and having room for things to surface that you didn’t expect is often where the most meaningful work happens.
Do you offer therapy for teens?
Yes. I work with teens and adolescents as well as adults; there’s often an opportunity to address patterns earlier, before they become more entrenched. I tailor my approach to be accessible for younger clients. Parents are generally not present in sessions, though we’ll discuss how communication is handled based on the teen’s age and circumstances.
