I work with people who are capable and self-aware but find themselves repeating the same internal patterns. Maybe it’s anxiety that hides under competence, self-critique that sounds logical but never ends, or wanting closeness while keeping some distance. You might tell yourself you’re fine, but it doesn’t quite feel that way.

My approach is collaborative. We don’t force vulnerability. We stay curious about what’s happening as you speak: what feels comfortable, what doesn’t, and the moments you notice yourself reacting. Insight helps, but the real change is usually quieter. You may notice feeling steadier, recognizing what you need, and allowing closeness without bracing for it.

I draw from psychodynamic and relational therapy, schema work, and my background in psychological anthropology. I’m especially interested in how early roles and family expectations shape who we become, and how those patterns can shift when they’re seen clearly.

Therapy with me is consistent and human. You don’t need to impress me or have a plan. Over time, the work feels less like fixing yourself and more like finding a version of life that feels less effortful and more alive.
