You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, past trauma, relational issues, or staying focused and motivated. Maybe it feels impossible to navigate a career change or the end of an important relationship. Perhaps you've noticed that the things that used to bring you joy have lost their spark. Or maybe you feel an urge to understand yourself more deeply. As a therapist, I am focused on helping people overcome suffering by discovering new sources of meaning in their lives. I meet every client with compassion, curiosity, and warmth and specialize in helping people break free of old patterns that are no longer serving their needs.
My therapeutic style is relational, and I am informed by psychoanalytic and Jungian thought. Here’s what that boils down to: I am interested in who you are, who you have been, and who you would like to become. I prioritize emotional honesty and connection, which means that I’m not afraid to speak up if I believe it might help you get out of your own way.
No matter how large the problem might seem or how stuck you might feel, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see for yourself if we might work well together.

I work well with patients who want to improve inner resilience and create long-term change in their lives. In the past, I have helped patients increase self-esteem, combat imposter syndrome, improve relationships, reduce anxiety, and find relief from depression. Together, we will work to understand you and how you relate to yourself in ways that go far beyond your symptoms.
