Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is where real change happens—where you make sense of your patterns, heal old wounds, and develop new ways of being in the world. Whether you're processing trauma, working through relationship difficulties, struggling with your sense of identity, or simply feeling stuck, therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore what's getting in your way.
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to what you need. I draw on evidence-based treatments including CBT, DBT, and mentalization-based therapy, always grounded in understanding you within the context of your relationships and life story. Therapy isn't about me giving you answers, it's about us working together to help you discover your own wisdom, resilience, and path forward.
What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a collaborative treatment between you and a trained mental health professional. Through regular therapy sessions, you gain a deeper understanding of emotional challenges, behavioral patterns, and interpersonal difficulties that may be contributing to distress. Unlike medication alone, psychotherapy focuses on psychological and emotional processes, helping you address the root causes of your struggles while developing healthier ways of thinking and responding to life's challenges.
What can be treated with psychotherapy?

Which psychotherapy approaches do you offer?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) A structured, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines cognitive strategies with mindfulness techniques to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Particularly helpful for individuals experiencing intense emotions.
Mentalization-Based Therapy Focuses on understanding your own and others' mental states, improving self-awareness and relationship functioning.
Psychodynamic Therapy Explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, leading to deeper self-understanding and lasting change.
Group Therapy A supportive, collaborative setting where you can connect with others facing similar challenges while developing new skills and perspectives. Group therapy offers unique benefits including shared experiences, peer support, and the opportunity to practice new behaviors in a safe environment. Particularly effective for interpersonal growth, reducing isolation, and learning from others' insights and coping strategies.
