You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or going through a major life transition. I work with high achievers who are juggling multiple responsibilities and want to succeed in all areas of their life. Sometimes with outer success comes a desire for more inner joy and insight into what matters most. You may be struggling in your marriage or partnership and desire more ease. I have been a therapist for 20 years, I help couples build the skills to communicate more clearly, repair easier, and feel closer to one another. I have had success in supporting couples to navigate connection after infidelity.

In addition to working with professionals, entrepreneurs, and couples seeking conflict relief, I specialize in helping clients take action towards a more integrated and fulfilling life. I am MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) trained and have helped clients with integration of psychedelic experiences.

In my sessions, I offer a compassionate, honest, and relational approach that empowers you to explore thoughts, patterns, emotions, and deeper desires. I have over twenty years experience and assess to make sure we are a right match prior to working together.
