How I work
I work with introspective people who can already see the pattern that keeps them stuck, and who have found that seeing it is not enough to change it. The work draws on psychodynamic and trauma-informed training and on somatic approaches including AEDP.
Psychodynamic
Most people who find me can already narrate their own pattern. You know the shape of it, you know roughly where it came from, and it has not budged. Understanding something and being free of it turn out to be different jobs. The second one is what we do here.
Psychodynamic · Attachment-informed
The patterns that run your adult life were usually laid down early, when they were the reasonable response to something. We follow the threads between then and now—not to explain you, but to loosen what is still holding.
Trauma-informed · AEDP
Some of this material has never been said out loud to anyone. We go toward the painful part with warmth, at the pace you set. The relationship in the room matters as much as any interpretation I could offer.
Somatic · Integrative
If you have spent years in survival mode, you may be some distance from knowing what you actually want. That shows up in the body first. We work with that directly, and with concrete tools when they are useful.
Getting started
We start with why now. I will ask about history, but only as far as it is useful—you do not have to produce your whole life in the first hour.
By the third or fourth session, we usually both know what we are working on. I will tell you what I am seeing and ask if it sounds right to you.
I keep the work patient and grounded. I am comfortable with people who think fast and analyze everything, including their own therapy. None of this is a protocol I run on everyone.
A first step
Fifteen minutes, no cost, no obligation. We talk about what brings you here and whether working together makes sense—and if someone else would be the better fit, I will say so.
