High-performance lives demand high-performance relationships. For driven professionals, navigating complex systems is second nature—yet intimacy and conflict often follow a different set of rules. If you’re feeling misaligned or misunderstood in your personal life, it’s time to bridge the gap between your professional success and your relational health. You deserve a space as strategic and nuanced as your career. Let’s evolve your personal world to match your professional excellence.

I provide precision care through an anti-oppressive lens, honoring the systemic pressures you face. Integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems—both empirically researched models—with Brainspotting, I resolve deep triggers logic cannot reach. Move beyond "getting by" to cultivate emotional clarity and strategic alignment.

Your identity is the blueprint. I offer a space where your full self is honored—no filters. Nothing is off-limits: the dark humor, intrusive thoughts, or rawest intimacy. If you want a clinical partner who values your complexity as much as your drive, let’s connect. Reach out today to see how we can evolve your story together. Now accepting new clients!

I approach care through a relational lens and know how important relationships of all kinds (the therapeutic one too!) are in the journey towards healing. Embodying these values has allowed me as a clinician to gently challenge clients, empower them to advocate for themselves, and provided a space to repair relational rupture with compassion and curiosity.
