What is Psychotherapy?

I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can far beyond where you are right now. —Virgina Satir

Psychotherapy is about exploration, discovery, and change—but not change in the sense of becoming someone else. It’s about becoming more yourself. It’s about uncovering the patterns that shape your life, the emotions you carry, and the beliefs that influence your sense of self. Therapy is a place where you can face what’s been holding you back, recognize your own resilience, and start moving toward a life that feels more real, more connected, and more free.

My job is to listen deeply. But that doesn’t mean I’m a passive observer. Therapy is a dynamic, engaged process, and my role is to help you see yourself more clearly, more compassionately, and with more trust in your own capacity to grow. I believe people are far more resilient and capable than they realize. My approach is about helping you remember that.

Therapy is not about fitting into a societal mold of what a "healthy" or "successful" person should be. It’s about discovering what works for you—what allows you to move through the world with more confidence, more self-acceptance, and more choice in how you engage with life.

What I Focus On

I work with a wide range of concerns, but my treatment focuses include:

Anxiety & Depression

  • Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and excessive worry

  • Feelings of numbness, meaninglessness, or burnout

  • Depression and patterns of self-criticism

Trauma & Dissociation

  • PTSD and complex trauma

  • Derealization and depersonalization—feeling disconnected from yourself or the world

  • Healing from childhood trauma and attachment wounds

Addiction & Compulsivity

  • Substance use and recovery

  • Internet addiction, including gaming and pornography addiction

  • Breaking cycles of compulsive behaviors and regaining a sense of agency

Relational & Existential Issues

  • Navigating relationships, intimacy, and connection

  • Struggles with identity, purpose, and meaning

  • The impact of screen addiction and digital overstimulation on mental health

My Approach

I draw from Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Centered Psychotherapy, and Experiential Methods to create a process that is both healing and empowering. Therapy should help you make sense of your past, but also remind you of your strength. You have already survived, adapted, and grown in ways you may not fully recognize. My job is to help you see yourself more clearly, to face what needs to be faced, and to build confidence in your ability to move forward.

Therapy is a space for transformation. It’s a lab for life—a place to explore, experiment, and try new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. I welcome you to reach out if you’re ready to start that process.
