Therapy is not just a place to vent, collect advice, or learn a few coping skills. Good therapy helps you understand why certain patterns keep repeating and gives you a relationship where those patterns can be noticed, worked with, and changed.

Relational and psychodynamic therapy

Much of my work is relational and depth-oriented. We pay attention to your history, your attachment patterns, the way you protect yourself, and what happens in relationships now. The goal is not to blame the past. It is to understand how the past is still organizing the present.

Evidence-informed, not formulaic

I use approaches including EMDR, parts work, ACT, attachment-based therapy, family systems, EFT, and Gottman-informed couples work. The method depends on the person in front of me. We will use structure when structure helps, and we will slow down when something deeper needs attention.

For couples

Couples therapy focuses on the cycle between you: the moments where both people get hurt, protected, defensive, withdrawn, or desperate to be understood. We work toward more honest contact, clearer responsibility, and a relationship that can hold difficult conversations without collapsing.

For trauma and compulsive patterns

Trauma, compulsive sexual behavior, anxiety, depression, and relationship distress often make sense when they are understood in context. I work to create a non-shaming space where you can tell the truth and build a more integrated way of living.

What it feels like to work together

My style is warm, engaged, clinically grounded, and direct when directness is helpful. There is room for humor and humanity here, but the work is serious: helping you become more honest, more connected, and more able to live from the self you are trying to recover.
