I Don’t Know—and That’s a Good Place to Start! Many people come to therapy feeling pressure to have answers: Why am I like this? What’s wrong with me? How do I fix it? In my work, “I don’t know” isn’t a failure—it’s often where change begins. I practice from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach. ACT is especially helpful for people who are smart, capable, and prone to overthinking, yet still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected. Rather than trying to get rid of difficult thoughts or emotions, we focus on changing how you relate to them—so they stop running the show. Many of my clients “seem fine” on the outside, but…

Anxiety, low self-esteem, and unstable relationships can make everyday life feel exhausting and unpredictable. You may fear abandonment, move between intense emotional highs and lows, or replay conversations until rest feels out of reach. I work with women at all stages of life—including new mothers and women navigating perimenopause and menopause—who feel overwhelmed by their emotions or stuck in painful relationship patterns. My approach is grounded in empathy, support, and understanding. Together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the roots of your concerns and develop healthier, more stable ways of relating.

Are you the one everyone counts on—yet quietly running on empty? From the outside, life looks well-managed, but internally you feel burned out, overwhelmed, or stuck. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and deeply committed to their work, families, and relationships, yet tired of carrying so much alone. You may want clearer boundaries, stronger relationships, and a life that feels balanced rather than exhausting. Therapy can help you understand yourself more deeply, release patterns that no longer serve you, and create a life that feels joyful and sustainable.

As a clinical psychologist in practice for over 25 years, I use my training and experience to provide real guidance to people wishing to confront and change negative patterns of behavior, understand themselves more deeply and remove blocks to personal and professional growth and fulfillment. My approach balances the vital benefits of understanding the past with a focus on changing the present in practical, active ways. I believe in the enormous benefit of relating one's life story to an objective, compassionate listener who can help to offer a new perspective.

Children between the ages of 5-19 who are questioning their gender identity, those who struggle with ADHD and executive dysfunction, Autism Spectrum disorder and of course the anxiety and depression that often accompany these diagnosis. The goals for many of the youth I work with include removing obstacles that impede school performance and self regulation skills. I frequently consult with child study teams, psychiatrists as well as a host of other medical professionals including pediatric endocrinologists for families considering puberty blockers and HRT for their child.

You're used to being the one who holds it all together. On the outside, you’re capable, driven, and dependable, but internally, you may feel constantly “on,” overwhelmed, or carrying more than you let others see. You might be navigating high expectations at work, shifting roles in your personal life, or the emotional weight of infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum changes. I work with individuals who are ready for a space where they don’t have to perform or push through, but can slow down, process what they’re carrying, and move toward a more sustainable way of living.
