I am an experienced therapist trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I work in a responsive way that is tailored to who you are and what you hope to get out of therapy. Often we end up exploring the events and relationships that made you who you are today so we can get to the root causes of whatever isn't feeling right, whether that be depression, anxiety, issues with relationships, self-esteem, motivation, trauma or any other number of struggles.
