Therapy doesn't have to be a mysterious and confusing process. I believe that it should be linked directly to one's personal goals and desire for change. I'll work with you to enhance your self-knowledge, expand your emotional awareness and thinking to provide you new ways of solving problems and enhancing well-being. My style is direct and collaborative and aims to identify patterns of thinking, feeling, acting and relating that reinforce fears and negative attitudes, thereby limiting your ability to pursue your goals. Exploring the underlying forces and dynamics driving those patterns opens up new avenues for growth and change.

You’re craving closeness but feel miles apart—from your partner, from your body, or from the calm you remember having. Maybe mismatched desire has turned into avoided conversations, anxiety about sexual performance shows up at the worst moments, or a breakup has left you questioning your worth. You want clear answers and real change: ease instead of worry, intimacy that feels natural, and relationships that are warm, honest, and satisfying. Your goal is to understand what’s getting in the way and replace it with confidence, connection, and a sex life that actually works for you both.

Often, our past relationships leave us wounded. The story that we tell ourselves becomes permeated with negative thoughts, low self-worth, and shame. As these feelings manifest, we become anxious and depressed. Therapy can help us discover perspectives that create a new narrative, one in which we have different ways to manage our emotions and lead a more enjoyable life.

I am currently providing in-person and virtual therapy sessions.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by a racing mind that doesn't seem to stop? Have you found yourself feeling irritated, discouraged, angry, or sad, yet have no idea why? Are you struggling in a relationship with a family member or friend, & feel stuck? Perhaps you and your romantic partner are exploring the next steps in your relationship, but are struggling with how to best navigate these conversations so that your emotions and needs are expressed effectively. Or maybe a chapter in your life just ended & you feel confused about what's next. These are the types of experiences that clients who decide to work with me struggle with.

We are all works in progress - or as I see it, masterpieces in the making. In therapy, my hope is to create a safe place for you to share the joys and challenges of being human in this world. It is a place to explore patterns that continue to show themselves, a place to explore how family, community, institutions, and social systems have impacted us, and a place to grow in awareness so as to participate more authentically in the fabric of life. I firmly believe we all carry the potential to transcend our history and patterns and view my job not as healer but as a human creating a space for you to find the healer within yourself.

A good therapy session should feel emotional and immediate, yet grounded in the past so one can understand and feel old experiences in new ways. Sometimes there is laughter and sometimes there are tears. A good therapy session feels alive and satisfying.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” (Anais Nin). Finding clarity, connections, and hope beyond relief - these are at the core of my practice. Walking through stuck zones to explore needs, we liberate insights that inform specific tools and path forward. Approach is warm, empathic, analytical, and reflective. From research, testing, and psychoeducation, to philosophy and the arts, we pull in strategies that resonate. Whether it’s relationships, work, mood, or your sense of self and purpose through hard times —we can sort out needs and find a path forward.

As a seasoned depth psychologist formally trained in exploring the depths of being human, I will work collaboratively with you to get to the root of what ails you. I find cultivating an affirming, caring stance allows an individual to move more readily towards healing and the resolution of problems and difficulties. Consequently, you can be the person you want to be thereby realizing greater personal agency and generating more successful relationships. The heart and soul of my practice involves working with chronic shame, gender and sexuality issues, life transitions, grief, loss, trauma, dissociated self-states, self exploration.

I work with people juggling a lot—demanding careers, parenting, or caring for others—while trying to stay balanced and fulfilled. Many of my clients struggle with stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of trauma. If you feel stuck, numb, deeply cynical, or overwhelmed, snappy, reactive, and constantly behind, your nervous system may be in chronic stress mode. We begin by restoring balance in the body through biofeedback and breathwork, because without fuel, even the best therapy can’t take you far. With the right support, you can feel grounded, energized, and capable of moving toward the life you want.

So. No one told you life was gonna be this way. Do you feel alone—like nobody sees your unique brand of awesomeness? Do you feel scared—like adulting comes with a lot of unforeseen challenges that you don't know how to handle? Do you feel frustrated with your relationships—like they're falling way short of how great you wish they were?

Please note: I am no longer accepting Anthem Blue Cross Insurance. When we are faced with a crisis, transition, or other stressful life situation we want to be comforted, supported, and given direction; in other words, we want to feel better. While we can often receive useful help from friends and family it often isn't sufficient to resolve the issue or prevent it from reoccurring. Old habits and patterns tend to be stubborn but change is possible. In my view, real and lasting growth begins with the willingness to try new approaches to old problems.
