My approach is integrative, combining psychodynamic and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). These two traditions do different jobs, and I think good therapy needs both.

The psychodynamic side means I don't avoid difficult material. Much of what troubles people in the present has roots in earlier experience — patterns formed a long time ago that keep quietly repeating. Understanding what's driving those patterns, often outside conscious awareness, is where lasting change tends to begin.

The solution-focused side keeps that exploration purposeful. It's easy for insight-focused work to become open-ended reflection with no clear direction. I keep sessions oriented towards what you actually want your life to look like, and the concrete steps and existing strengths that get you there. I'm an active presence in sessions rather than a passive listener, and I'll offer direct, honest perspective when it's useful.

In practice, this looks like sessions that hold both things at once: space to genuinely explore what's beneath the surface, alongside a clear thread back to your goals, so the work stays purposeful rather than purely reflective.

Who I Work With

I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties — whether the causes are clear and need a realistic, collaborative plan of change, or unclear and need more exploratory, unconscious-level work to understand.
