A Psychodynamic, trauma-sensitive approach

Explore the deeper, unconscious layers of yourself with gentleness & compassion.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy and informed by trauma-sensitive, relational, sex therapy, and mindfulness and somatic perspectives.

Together, we explore how past relationships, attachment experiences and cultural messages shape your inner world - including your relationship with sexuality, intimacy, desire and your body.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, my approach to psychotherapy becomes a space to understand what lies beneath recurring patterns, develop greater self-awareness and create new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others.

Individual Therapy With Me Can Help If You're Experiencing:

  • Relationship challenges & recurring patterns

  • Issues related to sexuality, desire & intimacy

  • Healing from sexual trauma

  • Healing after a relationship break-up

  • Shame, guilt or disconnection from your body

  • Attachment & relational wounds

  • Anxiety, stress & overthinking

  • Understanding yourself more deeply

The process.

How it works.

01. Book a 20-min
consultation

02. Begin therapy together

03. Deepen & integrate

A 20-minute conversation to connect, discuss what you're looking for, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

We begin exploring what brings you to therapy, your history, relationships, and the patterns or experiences you want to understand more deeply.

Over time, we work toward greater awareness, new relational experiences, and more choice in how you relate to yourself, your body, sexuality, and others.
