Let’s Talk.

I specialize in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a focused, evidence-based approach that helps clients resolve unconscious emotional conflicts that often manifest as anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, or interpersonal difficulties. By identifying habitual defenses, regulating anxiety, accessing to core emotional experiences, and facilitating insight, ISTDP helps foster lasting psychological and relational change.

My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.

My clients describe me as warm, calm, observant, and direct. I work particularly well with highly sensitive, conscientious, and creative professionals across industries including technology, media, healthcare, and higher education.
