Looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space to get some real tools for managing anxiety, depression, or the ups and downs of life—for yourself or your teen? You’ve come to the right place. People who seek me out often feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or like their emotions are running the show. Maybe anxiety, irritability, fear of judgment, or substance use has been weighing you down. The good news? Therapy does help—and it doesn’t have to be boring or awkward. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and understood while learning skills that actually make life feel a little easier (and maybe even a little more fun).

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, disconnected from their body, and tired of pushing through life on autopilot. They may be anxious, emotionally sensitive, or stuck in old patterns that don’t reflect who they truly are. They need grounding, clarity, and a sense of inner safety. Their goal is to feel regulated, confident, and aligned — to trust themselves again. They want relief, but more than that, they want to feel whole, empowered, and deeply connected to their intuition and purpose.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting. Much of what happens in my office happens through the relationship itself — through being deeply understood, often in a way that feels new. My training grounds me in attachment theory and relational psychoanalytic thinking, and I believe real change tends to happen slowly, through genuine connection, before it happens through technique.
I work with adults navigating trauma, difficult relational patterns, and the quieter kinds of pain that come from not having been fully seen. Clients who often feel "a good fit" with me are those seeking deeper work on wounded parts themselves.
