My practice is grounded in my belief in the transformative power of therapy. So often in life, we hide parts of ourselves that feel unacceptable or shameful. In this space, we can be curious and open, working together towards self-understanding, growth, and finding a path to one's authentic self. My style is empathetic, warm, intuitive, direct and non-judgmental. influenced by intensive post-graduate trainings in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Exhausted by the hunt for an in-network therapist? Managed care forces unmanageable caseloads. I stay private so I have the uncompromised mental energy to hold your complete history, your relationships, and your lived experience —you are a distinct therapeutic relationship, never a file number. Real change takes consistency, so I require a weekly commitment to ensure we build deep, lasting healing rather than a temporary fix. Navigating relationship stress, a major life transition, or trauma recovery is a daunting process, but you do not have to find a way forward alone. You are welcome to reach out whenever you are ready.

As a Jungian analyst, I have a special tool I will share with you to work through life’s glitches, helping you to hone your communication skills and deepen self-understanding while nurturing trust and respect for yourself and others.

The therapeutic process is about becoming most fully ourselves. The more we come to know ourselves in an authentic and true way, the more fulfilling our lives and our relationships become. Change occurs when there is a new understanding, not just in our intellectual mind, but in our bodies and spirits as well. This kind of work, though difficult, and sometimes painful, is also deeply rewarding. It can also seem like a scary idea to some, not knowing if making lasting change is even possible.

We all face conflicts that at times become “too much.” When we feel overwhelmed there’s a natural tendency to want to restore balance in ourselves and our lives. Any conflict—in love, work, body image, physical symptoms—can lead to anxiety, shame and a sense of "going through the motions." Whether you’re dealing with current or long-standing difficulties, there are effective ways to understand and soften painful feelings. Life can be better when you open to new thinking, curb negativity and break repetitive cycles; you become kinder to yourself. You can find your own voice.

My clients are deep thinkers and feelers: musicians, bands, creative collaborators, couples building something together, as well as neurodivergent and highly sensitive people who have always felt things more intensely than the world around them. They come to me in life transitions, creative crossroads, and moments where old patterns have stopped working and something more authentic is trying to emerge. What they share is a hunger for depth: they want to understand themselves, and heal at the root of their suffering. They want to build a life, often a creative life, that actually feels like theirs.

Clients seeking assistance with mood disorders, adjusting to changes in life, medical issues, and/or finding the meaning of life are my ideal population. Life is unpredictable and it only takes a lending ear to not feel alone in the chaos. Working together, the goal would be to decrease the moods and behaviors present with life changes, managing activities of daily living with as much ease as possible, starting up again if we relapse in our behaviors and moods, working jointly until a good enough resolution has been established.

I offer a warm, honest partnership for anyone who is struggling emotionally. People come in feeling alone in some way: overwhelmed, unfulfilled, blocked creatively or convinced that everyone else in the world is different from them. Or, maybe you are grieving the break-up of a relationship, marriage, or the death of someone close. Feeling alone in your pain is often the worst part.

It is possible to feel happier, more capable and have a kinder relationship with yourself and others. Neuroscience has revealed we can make positive changes at any age. We all experience loss in our lives from everyday disappointments to the loss of a loved one. Even the most fortunate among us sometimes feel anxious, depressed, isolated and afraid of what’s to come. Most of us have had less than ideal experiences we haven’t been able to process alone. That definitely includes me too. Believe me, you’re not alone. It’s the human condition. There is no happily ever after, but you can have more love, fun and ease in your daily life.

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." (Maya Angelou) I understand that as we experience life we will inevitably encounter obstacles and stressors that challenge us to change. I also believe these moments present opportunities for transformation. I recognize that life transitions and personal experiences can sometimes be overwhelming, however they can also be valuable seasons with the potential to generate "peak and valley" experiences that can alter our life course.
