My approach to therapy is active, direct, and deeply attentive. I listen not only to what you say, but to affect, emotion, body language, and what may be happening beneath the words. Many patients describe feeling unusually seen and understood, often developing a clearer sense of their emotions and internal world. Therapy can be like going to the gym: you may not always look forward to showing up to do difficult work, but afterward you can feel that you worked hard, confronted something meaningful, and made progress. Open to couples. I strongly prefer in-person work; 1st apt always in person. Out of Pocket Only for psychotherapy.
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who offers evaluation and medication management in a general private outpatient office. I am actively seeking patients for psychotherapy. I am trained in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy but my approach is eclectic and individualized to each individual.
I work with adults who are curious to better understand themselves and their internal world, but may struggle to recognize or make sense of their feelings. You may find your self repeating patterns in relationships or life that you can’t seem to break, or struggling with intimacy and connection. Open to couples.

I bring a psychodynamic framework to my practice, exploring unconscious processes that can keep us from fully experiencing our feelings and understanding ourselves. Together, we identify where you feel stuck and explore the underlying emotional conflicts shaping your patterns, relationships, and ability to feel connected to yourself and others.
