Relax. This is a space where you don’t have to mask, perform, or be “on.” I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients also identify with ADHD—or feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, emotional reactivity, or self-criticism. I’m ADHD-CSSP certified and provide LGBTQ+-friendly care. My approach is practical, down-to-earth, and human. You can expect honest conversation, lots of thoughtful questions, clear strategies, and gentle but direct pushback when it’s useful.

After 34 years as a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker, I have decided not to renew the license and to continue working as a Relationship Coach.
What's wrong with this relationship? The same problems keep on repeating time after time. So what does a study of psychology reveal? A well-trained and experienced psychotherapist can help to shine a light into the dark unconscious places which shroud the mysteries. This helps to bring the issues into consciousness, and once there, allows you to work with them. This work involves change. There may be many underlying issues which will become the work as they become apparent.

You've achieved external success, hitting all your milestones, ahead of schedule and with distinction, but internally you’re exhausted, on edge, or stuck in patterns you can’t think your way out of. Many of my clients are professionals in demanding roles in public service, law, healthcare, military, and executive leadership who are deeply capable and quietly overwhelmed.

You want a better version of yourself, your relationships and your life. Sometimes it's easier to think than feel–maybe even overthink–about how to live, be, and relate to others well, but you may have had some experiences that make this feel almost impossible. You want more authenticity in relationships with others, yourself, and even in your sex life. We will fit well together if you thrive on exploration, encouragement, challenging questions, and occasional redirection toward larger goals. We will be talking about relationships, intimacy, families of origin, career, or general stress of life that leads to feelings of discomfort.

Often when people come to see me, they have been experiencing the pain and challenges of life much more than the pleasure, and they desire to feel better and enjoy life more fully. I have worked with men and women who experience this pain in many forms, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, grief, or the aftermath of trauma. In addition, I am very interested in working with people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. I have worked extensively with immigrants, first generation citizens, international students and professionals, and people who identify as multicultural or a person of color.

I work with adults navigating ADHD, narcissistic abuse, divorce, life transitions, relationship challenges, and addiction.
We'll work on practical coping strategies while also exploring the deeper patterns, defense mechanisms, and unprocessed emotions that keep you stuck. I tailor my approach to what you need rather than fitting you into a single method. This works best if you're ready to examine what's underneath and invest in real change, not just short-term symptom relief.

I am passionate about helping people facing relationship struggles that manifest as anxiety, depression, and difficulty with intimacy. My experience and training (EFT: Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Imago, PACT) helped me see that most emotional challenges are tied to how we function in our personal relationships. I've been told that my real strength is helping people feel safe and reflective enough to recognize, think through, and either accept or change the way they approach the relationships that matter most. I deeply enjoy a collaborative partnership with my clients and couples, working together to make meaningful changes.

My goal is to help clients address and to cope with the complex challenges they face in their lives. These challenges include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, relationship problems, self esteem issues, trauma and abuse.
