Therapy is a space for discovery and transformation: whether you're navigating a life transition, seeking a richer understanding of yourself or experiencing grief. I work from a relational, depth-oriented perspective, helping you explore the patterns that shape who you are. Using psychoanalytic and depth psychology lenses, we work together to uncover how your past, your relationships, and believes impact your present. I work best with people who are curious about their inner lives. I love working with artists and creatives, helping navigate the challenges and growth opportunities of the creative life.
I work with couples, recognizing that relationships have natural ups and downs that offer opportunity for growth. Conflict and connection alike can deepen our relationship with ourselves and our partner, and couples work is an opportunity to explore attachment patterns, communication dynamics, and the deeper emotional currents that shape our relationships.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I am a musician with degrees in classical piano and composition from the Manhattan School of Music. My background in the arts informs my therapeutic approach, allowing me to attune to creativity, emotion, and the unspoken depths of experience. Let’s begin this journey together—reach out to start the conversation.

People are different, and relate to themselves and the world in a unique way. An important part of our work together is discovering what type of therapeutic space can help you create space for insight, healing, and lasting change. It can be a space for exploring past wounds, future goals, uncovering unconscious relationship patterns, or making simple, practical shifts.
