I view anxiety as a wise messenger, often pointing us to areas of deeper self-awareness. Drawing inspiration from the work of Sheryl Paul, I help clients reframe anxiety as a tool for transformation rather than something to be feared. I combine ideas from CBT, journal therapy/bibliotherapy, and talk therapy to help clients manage anxiety in a compassionate, holistic way—especially those who are highly sensitive or creative. My approach is about creating space for curiosity.

I approach depression with a blend of therapy techniques and a deep exploration of underlying emotions or past trauma. Often, depression is a signal that there’s something deeper to uncover. I draw on existential concepts, like Frankl’s logotherapy, to help clients find meaning and purpose in life, guiding them toward a sense of direction and fulfillment. My goal is to support clients in navigating the complexity of depression and discovering their unique path forward.

Attachment shapes how we connect with ourselves and others. I help clients explore how past relationships influence their current patterns, behaviors, and emotions. Understanding attachment can provide insight into your relationship with your partner, family, or even yourself, fostering greater connection and healing. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your ability to create secure, meaningful, and fulfilling relationships in your life.

Existential therapy helps you find purpose and meaning in life, guided by your personal values and philosophies. Inspired by the work of Frankl and Yalom, I support clients in exploring universal human challenges, such as grappling with mortality, freedom, and isolation. Together, we’ll work to uncover what truly matters to you, embrace life’s uncertainties, and create a path aligned with your unique sense of meaning and purpose.

Rooted in the work of Carl Rogers, humanistic therapy is the foundation of my approach. I believe that with the right conditions, you have the innate capacity to heal and grow. Together, we’ll create a supportive, compassionate space where you can explore your authentic self and discover the tools to become your own caretaker. This approach emphasizes empathy, self-discovery, and the belief that you are capable of creating a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Relational therapy explores how your connections with others shape your experiences and sense of self. Together, we’ll examine your relationships, sometimes using our own therapeutic connection as a safe base to reflect on patterns and dynamics in your life. This process can deepen self-awareness, improve relationships, and offer healing through the experience of a supportive and understanding connection.
