My approach to individual work is grounded in psychodynamic and existentialist thinking, which means we look not only at the symptoms that brought you in but at the deeper currents beneath them. Much of what shapes our lives operates outside of awareness: old relational patterns, defenses formed long ago to protect us, and beliefs about ourselves we may have never questioned. In our sessions, I help you bring these into the light, not to assign blame but to understand how the past continues to live in the present. As we trace these threads together, the patterns that once felt automatic begin to loosen their grip, creating room for genuine and lasting change rather than temporary relief.

At the same time, I believe you are the author of your own life. The existentialist tradition reminds us that even within real constraints, we retain the freedom and responsibility to choose how we live and what we make of our circumstances. Anxiety, emptiness, and a sense of being stuck often signal that something important remains unspoken or unrealized. Rather than rushing to silence that discomfort, we sit with it long enough to learn what it is asking of you. My aim is to help you move toward a life that feels authentic and meaningful, one in which you act from your own values rather than from inherited expectations or fear.
