I help high-functioning individuals and couples who look capable on the outside but feel stuck, anxious, disconnected, or caught in painful patterns underneath. You may be dealing with overthinking, harsh self-criticism, relationship conflict, or a persistent sense that something deeper isn't working despite your efforts. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, understand what is driving these patterns, and build the capacity for more grounded, lasting change.

The feedback I get from clients - both couples and individuals - is that I’m direct and actively engaged in giving people the tools to solve issues in their sex life or heal from stressful or traumatic events, leave bad relationships, and deepen intimacy and communication - all in an environment that is comfortable even for people new to therapy.
