A Place to Unfold...
A Place to Unfold...
Therapy can be a place for loosening what has been wound around you—the stories, beliefs, and patterns that have shaped how you move through the world.
Unfolding is rarely tidy. Things come apart. Old defenses loosen. Familiar ways of holding yourself may no longer work. And yet, in that undoing, new ways of living and relating can begin to take form.
Here, pain is not treated as a problem to eliminate, but as something that carries a history worth listening to. Desires that have been pushed aside or silenced are given room to speak. Over time, piece by piece, something more alive and more spacious can emerge.
This work is not about fixing what is broken. It is about making room for what has been folded away—to be breathed with, seen, and lived with differently.

How I Work
How I Work
This work is shaped less by a single technique and more by a way of listening and relating.
Psychoanalytically informed
Symptoms and struggles are not random or meaningless. They often carry history, intention, and desire. Rather than rushing to eliminate them, we take time to listen for what they may be expressing and how they have come to function in your life.Relational & curious
Therapy is not just a conversation; it is a relationship. Patterns often emerge in real time between us, offering opportunities to notice, reflect, and gradually relate differently—both here and beyond the therapy room.Parts-aware
We all live with multiple aspects of ourselves—protective, critical, vulnerable, playful, and wounded. We take time to get to know these different parts and the roles they’ve taken on, approaching them with curiosity rather than judgment.Attentive to the body
Trauma and emotion often register somatically. I pay attention to how experiences are held in the body, making room for sensation, affect, and shifts that words alone may not fully capture.
