I work with each person who comes to my office with compassion and respect, knowing that each patient has a unique story. I am interested in learning why you have come to see me. Among the psychological problems I address are anxiety, depression, marital problems, and grief as well as stuckness in career or personal growth. The treatment I offer is tailored to the patient's individual needs. I am trained to do psychotherapy and Jungian psychoanalysis. In psychotherapy we explore what is causing you psychic or physical pain as well as additional symptoms, or trauma as they emerge.

It is a gift to seek out a space of your own to be witnessed and understood– I am so glad you are here. My work is rooted in considering the ecosystem of mind, body, spirit, & culture in relationship to community & self. My approach involves being curious about you as a whole person & tapping into the complex interplay of your embodied & emotional world. I draw influence from a Relational, Mindfulness, & Depth lens & utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) for clients as needed. As a client-centered therapist, I seek to empower you to define your unique needs & goals for our work together.

Reaching out for help when you were taught it’s safer to handle things alone for fear of shame, anger, or being forgotten is a profound act of courage. You deserve a big exhale.
Being an adult is hard enough on its own — adding the pressures of creative work, daily responsibilities, family confusion, and the effort to be a good person can feel overwhelming even on the best of days. I work with people who have experienced trauma, emotional neglect or abuse, struggle with persistent anxiety and performance- related fears, and are confronting existential questions about identity and life’s meaning.

Therapy is an incredible way to meet the very human need to feel understood. While you’ve made it through difficult situations alone, it's an especially healing process to do so with someone else. I'm committed to helping individuals overcome periods of stagnation. I borrow from a variety of modalities and actively collaborate with you to either bring up solutions or simply ask questions that work towards sustained, meaningful self-awareness and growth. My goal is to create a space where you can express what's important and genuine. Together, we'll bring into focus associations & patterns and how they limit and/or enrich your life.

I often work with artists, creatives, highly sensitive & neurodivergent individuals, high-achieving professionals, & people who define themselves as "seekers". If you fit this bill, you may be someone who has already spent a lot of time “doing the work”. But despite all of your insight, your nervous system still feels on edge, you find yourself ruminating, your body is tense, and some experiences carry an unpredictable trigger. Trauma & anxiety don’t just live in the mind - they also live in the nervous system and the body. My work focuses on helping you process what’s there so you can feel calmer, clearer, and more confident.

Let’s start with right now. Let’s pause long enough to invite awareness. Let’s get curious about what matters to you and expand what is possible.

So tell me, what’s going on in your life? What are you up against? How do you cope? What’s working and what’s not?

My approach is grounded in acceptance, caring, confidentiality, as well as the non-judgmental and practical. I strive to help people find clarity about their problems and to connect to their own inner wisdom, creativity, self-awareness, and healing. This allows for the natural emergence of positive choices, good solutions, and actions that are aligned with their true selves and deepest desires. I work with individuals and couples on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and developing more trust and acceptance, which helps to improve closeness and positive feelings in relationships.

We will work in a confidential space, where we thoughtfully,carefully, and intelligently reflect on your emotional life. We can gently explore the origins of your feelings and work through how they show themselves.
Our work will be focused in the here and now: by exploring who you are right now, change in your outlook or actions becomes possible. Generally, I use ideas firmly grounded in psychoanalytic theory and technique that are informed by my personal practice of Zen meditation of over twenty years.
Paying attention to what you do and how you feel can reveal the source of discomfort.

I hold space for individual adults and couples. From depression and anxiety, to life transitions, addiction, identity and relationship problems, I start wherever the client is and work collaboratively towards understanding. Whatever the obstacles between a client and their sense of meaning, purpose, authenticity or alignment, I help them move towards growth and change. I bring awareness and sensitivity to systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma that affect us all in different ways, and I respect the inherent wisdom of my clients' psyches to strive towards wholeness.

I believe therapy has the power to transform people's lives and improve their relationships. My approach is collaborative and relational. In therapy, I work with clients to develop concrete goals and tools to increase confidence in themselves and in their relationships. I also assist clients in processing how past experiences may contribute to insecurities, unhelpful patterns in relationships, and professional dissatisfaction. Throughout the therapy process I help empower clients to change their life narratives by expressing and pursuing what they want in their lives.

Behind every one of our problems lies the powerful desire for something better; a truth easily obscured when our troubles seem too much for us. My primary goal is to make therapy a safe, collaborative space in which choice and possibility reemerge in support of your preferred story.

I'm passionate about helping folks access a deeper self-understanding, an improved connection to others, and growth that emerges through the powerful forces of healing. My clients include adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families experiencing a broad scope of concerns, including: life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, illness, anxiety, attachment wounds, and addiction. I emphasize and foster connection, compassion, and collaboration, and strive to not only see and hear my clients, but to also understand them and the multiple contexts within which they exist, in the safety of a judgement-free zone.

I specialize in working with older adolescents and adults undergoing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. I approach therapy with the understanding that each person is completely unique; therefore, I tailor my approach to best meet each individual's needs. Most of my clients are feeling stuck - whether they're stuck in anxiety, stuck in unhealthy relationships, or stuck in patterns that aren't letting them live their most fulfilled lives. I don't provide band-aids; I help my clients explore and understand WHY they're stuck, so they can create real, lasting changes.

The stories we tell about ourselves can be complicated. Often times, how we see ourselves is based on how others see us, on societal expectations, or assumptions rooted in the past. I work with clients to help engage curiosity and exploration, detangling behaviors and feelings that get in the way of the life and relationships they desire. I believe the problems we face can actually serve as an important catalyst for achieving the things we value most in our lives. In session, we will work together to create new meaning, generating change when needed and exploring what all is possible.

As someone who has navigated trauma and complex PTSD, I hold deep respect for the persistence it takes to keep reaching for authenticity when hope feels distant. I'm drawn to working with creatives and highly sensitive individuals and couples who long for relationships and self-expression that feel honest. As a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I also am interested in helping those connect with their bodies and heal body dysmorphia. In the midst of depression, anxiety, or grief, I believe growth and joy become possible when we meet our inner parts with compassion and move at the pace of their permission.

As Lao Tzu beautifully put it, "when you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything." In my work with clients, I bring intuition, attunement, and thoughtfulness to the space, along with empathy, challenge, and a sense of humor.

I am trained in Attachment Based EMDR, ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, mindfulness, somatic and psychodynamic based therapies.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re sensitive. Thoughts race, emotions feel magnified, and it’s easy to become dysregulated or feel disconnected from yourself. Our sessions will incorporate somatic and nervous system approaches to help you feel more regulated and at ease. Together, we'll slow down and make space for growth—whether that means exploring your past, processing the week, learning coping strategies, or simply allowing yourself to exhale and just be.
