“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” — James Baldwin
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” — Viktor E. Frankl
These words reflect my belief in the two foundations of meaningful, lasting change: insight into the past and purpose for the future.
Rather than viewing behaviors, thoughts, or emotions as problems to eliminate, I see them as messages—expressions that once served a purpose in helping you preserve your sense of self or maintain important relationships. Through a psychodynamic lens, we’ll explore the intergenerational and relational roots of your current struggles. Much like untangling a knotted ball of threads, we’ll trace how these patterns formed and understand what they’ve been trying to protect, so you can finally let them go.
To ensure that insight leads to transformation, I integrate solution-focused and mindfulness-based approaches—helping you translate understanding into action. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and create tangible steps toward the life you want. Rather than centering solely on what’s not working, we’ll focus on what is working and how to expand on it—so that progress feels both achievable and empowering.
