What is
psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a process of talking — and listening. It is a space to slow down, to pay attention to your inner life, and to begin to understand experiences that may have felt confusing, painful, or out of reach. There are many different approaches to therapy. What distinguishes the kind of therapy I practice is its interest in depth: in understanding not just what you are struggling with, but why, and what that struggle means in the context of your life and history.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
A DIFFERENT KIND OF QUESTION
WHAT TO EXPECT
MY ROLE
Many people are familiar with therapies that focus on  learning new skills, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing different ways of responding. This approach asks  why do those patterns exist, and what do they mean for you? The goal isn't just symptom relief, but a deeper and more lasting kind of change.
Rather than focusing primarily on what to do differently, it is interested in understanding  what lies beneath the surface of a difficulty, how your history has shaped the way you feel and relate, and what your symptoms or struggles might be trying to express.
Sessions are typically 45 minutes and take place weekly, though the frequency may vary depending on your needs and goals. There is no fixed agenda or homework. Instead, you are invited to bring whatever feels most present : a recent experience, a recurring feeling. something you have been thinking about or avoiding.
My role is to listen carefully, ask questions, and help you make sense of what emerges. Over time, patterns become visible that were previously difficult to see. Feelings that felt overwhelming become more bearable. Relationships - including the one between us - become a place where something new can be understood and experienced.
WHO THIS MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR
This kind of therapy tends to suit people who are curious about themselves, who sense that something runs deeper than a specific symptom, or who have tried other approaches and found that relief was partial or short-lived. It is also well suited to people navigating longstanding difficulties - in relationships, in their sense of self, or in recurring emotional experiences that have resisted change.
