Many people feel stuck in patterns they understand but cannot seem to shift. This may be a good fit if you are looking for something deeper than just managing symptoms.
Having an attentive, engaging, and grounding presence can be the first step toward meaningful change. I have experienced this both as a therapist and as a client, and it is the kind of presence I try to provide in my work.
When I work with someone, I work to understand both the challenges they face and the strengths they bring. Together, we bring attention to parts of their experience that may not be fully known. As this unfolds, emotions, thoughts, and memories can begin to shift, allowing for a greater sense of wholeness.
At times, I may offer perspective or structure, but my work is not driven by a fixed method. Instead, it is guided by what emerges in the moment, rather than a predetermined path.
People often come to therapy with a mix of these experiences, rather than a single issue.
I work with adults and couples navigating:

These are not treated as separate problems, but as different expressions of a larger experience that unfolds over time.
