I imagine you've found your way here because you're feeling stuck and needing a reason to hope that things will change. Others may not see that you're feeling this way, but you know you're in need of relief. If this sounds like what you're going through, I may be a good fit to help you.

This life is our greatest adventure! I believe each person has the knowledge and ability to heal themselves but often are in need of a safe container for self exploration. My goal is to hold a safe collaborative space where my clients decide how, where and how deep we go. My desire is to reflect and foster a place for my clients to explore the challenges, sorrows, joys and hidden desires, and exciting lessons life has to offer. Bearing witness to another person's process is an honor.

Life presents us with emotional challenges, which can deeply affect us, sometimes unexpectedly. It might be the death of someone we dearly love; a loved one's life-threatening diagnosis; going through a painful divorce, including an emotionally-challenging late-in life “gray divorce.” You may be feeling grief, sadness, lonely, scared, betrayed, or not wanting to face another day. You could be the parent of a child having difficult feelings, or who is resisting to see one of his/her parents. These times challenge you and your loved ones at the deepest core and when you are most vulnerable.

A lot of the clients I work with are individuals who are carrying anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, painful past experiences, depression, or major life changes while trying to keep everything together.
I help clients process difficult experiences, build confidence, and feel more grounded and empowered in their lives and relationships. I borrow from CBT, EMDR, attachment, relational and strength-based approaches throughout sessions so clients can better understand themselves, their patterns, and why they might feel stuck.
I offer individual therapy, EMDR and bariatric surgery support.

Therapy is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering who you are, reconnecting to your internal wholeness, and integrating all aspects of your being. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, trauma, postpartum challenges, or the tender process of self-discovery, I hold space for all parts of you to show up.

Are you successful in many areas of life, yet still find yourself repeating painful patterns in relationships, work, or the way you relate to yourself? I've been there too. I'm intimately familiar with loud inner critics, perfectionism, depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck. I'm an MIT-educated problem solver who left my tech career to become the therapist I needed when I was stuck. I blend scientific thinking with empathetic curiosity, helping my clients examine their patterns from a new perspective and create a more authentic self. My goal isn't simply symptom relief, it's lasting change through deeper self-understanding.

Many of the people I work with carry a quiet, persistent belief that something is fundamentally wrong with them or that they are somehow different from everyone else. They often find themselves stuck in painful relationship patterns, struggling with self-worth, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. Rather than viewing these struggles as random, I understand them as meaningful responses to what they have been through. Together, we explore how those experiences continue to shape the way they think, feel, and relate so clients can begin to understand themselves and their relationships in a deeper, more compassionate way.

My practice is increasingly focused on working with dynamics of estrangement between family members. These estrangements include parents and adult children, as well as adult sibling estrangement. When families are young, children and parents often form very close, bonded, loving relationships. As children mature, and eventually leave home, families can wind up struggling to grow in order to continue satisfying relationships. Adult siblings also find maintaining loving relationships can be challenging. Working together in family therapy can help improve communication, address concerns and heal wounds and misunderstandings.

I work with clients in midlife that are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, or stretched too thin. Many clients tell me they no longer feel like themselves, caught in cycles of relationship anxiety, self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, and low self-worth. I help clients see the truth beneath their struggles, heal longstanding wounds, and step into a more authentic, empowered version of themselves. My approach follows the “Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up, Show Up” framework—a practical guide to spiritual awakening, emotional maturity, shadow work, and purposeful living.
