Areas of Practice
Therapy that looks beneath the surface
The reasons people seek psychotherapy are deeply personal. Sometimes there is a specific difficulty that needs attention. Sometimes the same patterns have been present for years, even when you have tried to change them.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, which creates space to explore not only what you are experiencing, but also the emotional patterns, relationships, and experiences that may be connected to it.
You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. We can begin with what is bringing you here.
01 — Anxiety
Anxiety
When worry becomes difficult to quiet
If you experience persistent anxiety, tension, overthinking, or a sense of being unable to switch off, therapy can offer an opportunity to look beyond symptom relief.
Together, we can explore what your anxiety may be expressing, what experiences may be connected to it, and how it affects the way you relate to yourself and others.
02 — Relationships
Relationships & Relational Patterns
When the same patterns keep returning
If the same relationship struggles keep resurfacing, whether with partners, family, or friends, that repetition is worth exploring rather than simply explaining away.
Psychodynamic therapy can help you look more closely at recurring relational patterns and consider what they may be repeating, expressing, or asking to be understood.
03 — Addictions
Addictions
Understanding the pattern beneath the behavior
If you find yourself caught in a pattern that feels repetitive or difficult to interrupt, even when you are fully aware of its consequences, awareness alone may not always be enough to change it.
From a psychoanalytic perspective, addiction is not simply a behavior to be corrected through willpower. It can also be understood as a way of responding to something that has not yet found another way to be expressed or worked through.
Therapy offers space to explore what the pattern is doing in your life, rather than focusing only on how to stop it.
04 — Academic & Performance Pressure
Academic & Performance Pressure
When achievement starts to feel like never enough
Academic and professional achievement can bring satisfaction, but it can also become tied to pressure, self-criticism, perfectionism, or a persistent feeling that you should be doing more.
If academic or professional pressure has left you feeling burned out or caught in a cycle of never feeling like enough, therapy can provide space to explore what lies beneath that pressure, where it comes from, and what it may mean for you.
Migration Experiences
Exploring identity, belonging, and life between cultures
Migration can change much more than where you live. It can raise questions about identity, belonging, relationships, language, and how you understand yourself.
If migration, cultural transition, or living between languages has shaped your experience of yourself or where you belong, therapy can offer space to explore those experiences directly.
For those who prefer it, this work can also take place in the language that feels closest to your experience.
Life Transitions
Making sense of change and uncertainty
Some transitions are chosen. Others happen to us.
Either can leave you uncertain about who you are, where you are heading, or what you actually want.
Transitions often bring questions to the surface that may have already been there: questions about direction, identity, relationships, priorities, and the life you want to build.
Therapy offers space to sit with that uncertainty rather than rushing past it, and to explore what it may be asking of you.
Trauma
When the past continues to shape the present
If something from your past remains difficult to process or put into words and continues to affect your life in ways that are not always clear, that difficulty itself can be meaningful.
Trauma does not always appear as a straightforward story. It can show up through repetition, avoidance, unexpected memories, relationships, or feelings that seem difficult to explain.
You do not need to have the right words from the beginning. Therapy can offer space for what happened to be spoken and explored slowly, in whatever way becomes possible.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
