Motherhood can bring up intense emotions you weren’t prepared for—anger, irritability, resentment, guilt, or a sense of losing yourself. You may feel constantly overwhelmed, snapping at the people you love most, and then feeling unsettled by your reactions. Therapy can help you slow this cycle down, understand what’s underneath it, and respond with more intention and steadiness. I specialize in working with women and mid-career professionals navigating motherhood, life transitions, parenting stress, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout.
My work focuses on helping you recognize emotional patterns, communicate needs more clearly, set boundaries, and move out of reactivity and into choice. Together, we work to expand your emotional range, strengthen your capacity for self-understanding, and develop new ways of relating that feel more aligned with who you want to be.
Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important decision. Should our first meeting not result in us working together, I'll waive the fee to ensure a good fit. Let's work together to overcome life's challenges and create a more balanced and satisfying life.

My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy. This work tends to be deeper and more reflective rather than focused on quick fixes. Over time, we work to understand the underlying emotional patterns and relational dynamics that contribute to distress, not just the surface symptoms. There is no single "right" length of therapy. While some people benefit from longer-term work,
