I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a big step. When you’ve been handling things on your own, the idea of opening up to someone new can be daunting. If asking for support feels difficult, please know that I’m here to help you do this safely and gently, with no pressure and at your own pace.My goal is to create a space where you can explore what you’re going through with a sense of comfort and security. I believe that healing begins with feeling heard and respected, rather than being challenged or pushed. 

At Your Pace


If trusting others feels challenging, I’m here to help you gradually lower your guard and build trust—one step at a time, always at your own pace, with gentle encouragement.

I understand that trusting can sometimes feel risky—like getting our hopes up only to face hurt or judgment again. Each of us has an inner sense that helps us feel out who might harm us and who might truly be safe. Building trust is essential for effective therapy. Simply put, a therapeutic relationship without trust cannot truly heal.Trust is deeply tied to a feeling of connectedness—a sense that we can be our true selves, free from masks or the weight of others’ expectations. This connectedness brings calm, security, and a feeling of wholeness. When we’ve been let down by those we trusted, it’s natural to put up guards. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to protect ourselves from being hurt again. Healing begins when we learn to reconnect—first with ourselves, and then with others—in a gentle, empathic, and honest way.Therapy is not simply a transaction of symptoms and treatment; it’s not a quick fix. Anxiety isn’t an illness—it’s part of being human. Therapy is about gradually learning to understand and navigate anxiety, even in its most challenging forms, like panic attacks and the events that might trigger them. It’s a process that builds a stronger sense of self, expands our capacity to tolerate difficult feelings, and allows us to approach life with resilience and confidence.Think of therapy like learning to ride a bike. It’s not just about reading a manual or following instructions; it’s about fully engaging in the experience, with someone by your side to support you through all its wobbles and uncertainties, until balance and skill develop naturally. And once that balance is there, it’s something that stays with you—it’s hard to lose.

Hello! Nice to meet you. 

I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds on a range of mental health issues. I am a member of the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology, with advanced training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy from fellowships at The Danielsen Institute and The Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity. I hold a Master of Social Work and a Master of Theological Studies from Boston College.

How I Work

My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy, focusing on exploring and processing emotions and uncovering hidden patterns. By gaining insight into these underlying dynamics, we work together to foster deeper understanding, allowing for meaningful and lasting change.

How I Work

In my work with clients, I use psychodynamic therapy—a thoughtful and compassionate approach that goes beyond surface-level symptoms. Our sessions are a space for us to dive deeper, exploring your emotions, experiences, and underlying patterns that may influence your life. My goal is to help you gain insights that bring clarity and a renewed sense of direction.


What You Can Expect in Sessions

Our time together is designed to feel safe, open, and free from judgment. I encourage you to share your thoughts and feelings as we explore meaningful aspects of your life. This process often leads to “aha” moments—insights into why certain patterns keep appearing and how we can gently begin to shift them. Psychodynamic therapy invites you to understand and work with what’s underneath the surface, creating the foundation for real, lasting change.


Why I Use This Approach

This therapy isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about creating deep and meaningful transformation. By addressing the roots of recurring challenges, rather than just the symptoms, psychodynamic therapy can free you from patterns that may have held you back for years.


Who Can Benefit

This approach works best for those who are open to self-reflection and want to explore their inner world. It’s especially effective for those dealing with recurring issues like relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, ongoing anxiety, or lingering emotions tied to past experiences. If you’re ready to engage in a journey of insight and lasting growth, psychodynamic therapy can be an empowering way forward.
