Are you the one everyone counts on? The mom, the partner, the professional who’s expected to hold it all together, even when you feel like you’re falling apart inside? I specialize in working with capable, pulled-together adults- especially women and parents- who are tired of “holding it all together on the outside” while quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. You’ve reached the point where you know that neglecting your mental health isn’t sustainable and you're ready for something different.

The key to successful therapy is a relationship with a caring, nonjudgmental therapist there to respond sensitively and patiently to whatever comes up. In my work, I offer that to my clients, as we collaborate in developing an understanding of your emotional states and how they drive your thoughts and actions. We’ll learn together what you need to strengthen and grow. My work with children and adolescents informs my understanding of development over the life span, and how those relationships and experiences that shape us are alive in the present moment.

I am a psychodynamic psychologist. As such, I believe that our early experiences shape our later expectations of ourselves and our relationships. I assist patients in examining patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may have begun early in life and continue to generate unhappiness with the goal of helping to relieve the depression and anxiety. As patients gain self-awareness and come to recognize and handle their feelings more adeptly, they often develop a more cohesive identity. While working to mitigate them, I am mindful of understanding what underlies the patient's vulnerability to developing these particular symptoms.

Parents and caregivers often need support as they adapt to the changing needs of an infant or young child, while also paying attention to their own well-being. Teachers and clinical professionals may have questions and concerns during times of increased stress, unexpected, or frightening events. Too many stressors can result in overwhelming or extreme reactions in both young children and in adults. I provide therapy with young children and caregivers throughout the perinatal period with interactive play activities, sensory strategies and guided communication to improve positive connections, skills for healing and resilience.

People seek psychotherapy feeling unhappy or helpless to bring about change in their life or fulfill their dreams. Patients are overcome with symptoms of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse or other problems, which in reality are unconscious defenses, blocking repressed feelings about something that went wrong, often in childhood, which is not yet resolved. These defenses once were adaptive, by protecting and helping them survive, but are no longer effective. I help people work through their underlying grief and face their feelings (sadness, anger, disappointment, yearning, powerlessness) surrounding trauma or loss, enabling them to engage in more free, authentic, satisfying lives.

My goal is to help you deepen your self-understanding, clarify what matters most, and create space for meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
