Many of my clients are high achievers, caregivers, or couples who feel stuck in patterns of stress, perfectionism, or disconnection. You’re longing for more than just coping — you want real relief, clarity, and authentic connection. In therapy, we’ll slow down, work gently with your mind and body, and create space for you to feel grounded, present, and more like yourself again.

Many people shy away from asking for help when in emotional and psychological pain. It is not easy to ask for help. Perhaps there are feelings of shame underlying the recognition of one's vulnerability. But in essence these are the times that important and life-altering changes can occur. I am invested in establishing a safe, supportive, and truthful interaction with you towards improving your life, your choices, and your relationships, & have over 25 years of experience as proof. The concerns that I have worked with extensively include depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, substance-abuse, adjustment, crisis intervention, & individuation.

I currently have openings for individual and couple therapy and can meet in person or through telehealth.
If you're feeling unfulfilled, stuck, or overwhelmed, it can seem like life will never get better. I would love to help you understand more about what's getting in your way and begin moving toward a life filled with purpose and connection. I specialize in individual and couple therapy for adults, including those experiencing anxiety, depression, or trauma as well as common concerns like stress, relationship difficulties, or challenges with work or school. I often work with high achieving professionals who find themselves lacking fulfillment despite all of their success.

Whether you're adjusting to a major life change, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, struggling with body image, exploring your sense of identity, or seeking deeper connection in your relationship, I'm here to help. Together, we can make sense of what you're carrying and move toward what feels more aligned. I believe therapy should be a nonjudgmental space in which you feel safe walking in and empowered walking out.

You might feel stuck in your head. Overthinking, doubting, or trying to “figure it out” for the hundredth time. I work primarily with adults navigating OCD, anxiety, rumination, and decision-making struggles. Many of my clients describe themselves as thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware, often with creative or perfectionistic tendencies. They’re ready to do the work, face discomfort, and build new tools with a therapist who’s grounded, collaborative, and evidence-based. If you’re tired of going in circles, I’d be honored to help you move forward.

I offer therapy sessions both in-person and online for flexible scheduling.
You’re high-functioning, successful in many areas of your life—and still feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’ve lost touch with the parts of you that feel grounded, confident, and connected. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I work especially well with individuals who are highly functional but struggling internally, navigating midlife changes—identity, purpose, relationships, aging, career shifts; healing developmental or attachment trauma; anxious, overwhelmed, or tired of repeating familiar patterns; and ready for deeper self-understanding rather than surface-level coping skills.

Life will sometimes nudge and then shout at us when we need to pause and look within ourselves. It often comes at times when we feel sad, hurt, anxious, or depressed.

As I see it, the therapy process is a journey to resolve painful experiences, gain insight, and develop strengths and new abilities, all which help to navigate life’s challenges. Healing is possible as well as clarity on how to move forward.
