You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions or unsure how to make sense of them. I work with adults who want to better understand their inner world in a way that feels compassionate and non-judging. Rather than seeing your struggles as something “wrong” with you, I view your thoughts, emotions, and patterns as meaningful responses shaped by your experiences, ones that made sense at the time, even if they no longer serve you now.

Restarting Relationships
Psychologist, PhD, PsyBA General
Serves Area
You may look capable on the outside even when something important is no longer working. Your relationship may be caught in the same conflict; ADHD or burnout may be affecting work and home, or a major transition may have exposed patterns you can no longer ignore. I work with adults and couples who want more than generic advice: careful assessment, a clear understanding of what is driving the problem, and practical change. My main areas include relationship crises, ADHD and learning differences, trauma, burnout, and complex life or professional transitions.
