You're someone others rely on — capable and accomplished — but internally stuck in patterns you can't fully explain. Or perhaps you're a woman who feels hijacked by her own hormones, reactive and unlike herself in ways she can't control. Or a parent watching your teenager disappear into a digital world that leaves them anxious, depleted, and disconnected from what actually matters. Many of my clients have tried prior therapy and still feel something isn't shifting. That is exactly where this work begins.
I offer depth-oriented individual, couples, and family therapy for adults, adolescents, and college students. Areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, women's mental health (PMDD, postpartum, perimenopause), compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, betrayal trauma, ADHD, and autism spectrum.
You may be used to holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed underneath. Therapy offers a space to slow down, think clearly, and understand yourself more deeply — held in the strictest confidence. If you're ready for thoughtful, in-depth work rather than quick fixes, I would be glad to talk. I'm here when you're ready.

I work with high-functioning adolescents and adults who tend to manage a lot externally but feel stuck in patterns—especially in relationships or important life decisions—that haven't shifted even with prior therapy. My work focuses on helping people understand those underlying dynamics so they can move forward with more clarity and intention.

I tailor therapy to each client, drawing from psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches and integrating DBT, emotionally-focused therapy, and CBT. Sessions combine reflection and insight with practical tools to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change. In the first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and decide on a path to progress.
