Do you bend over backwards, trying to make things right, but still feel like you're failing? Do you have moments where you feel like you don't belong where you are, or you don't recognize yourself anymore? Do you wake up with a sense of emptiness and wonder how you can keep going day after day, pretending that everything’s fine when you are truly not fine? Whatever brings you here, it’s ok to ask for help.
I understand how it feels to lose sight of who you are, or feel like you’re always giving without receiving. I’ll work with you to unravel the anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt that have kept you stuck, while helping you discover a sense of self-worth, connection and intention. Together we’ll create a roadmap to change that’s authentic and achievable.
I am an LCSW with five years of post-graduate psychoanalytic training. My approach is to treat the underlying causes of your pain – rather than the pain itself – so that the benefits will be long-lasting. I’ll be an active partner and work to earn your trust by offering compassion while encouraging your growth toward a life more aligned with your true self.

If we worked together, we would begin with understanding your goals and develop a plan based on them. I often work from a psychodynamic perspective so that we're addressing the source of the problem for more long-term results. As needed, I'll also bring in mindfulness, somatic and cognitive approaches.
