You may find yourself here because you feel lost within your relationships, or are losing control over your thoughts and emotions. You may be stuck in a pattern of attracting toxic or emotionally unavailable partners. As your therapist, I want you to feel worthy of a healthy and wholesome life. Together, we will explore your relational patterns and strengthen your understanding of your true self, leading to higher-quality connections. You will feel confident and empowered in your authenticity.

I help clients find emotional balance, stronger relationships, and better sex. I draw from psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to defeat self-deprecating patterns and harness emotion. I am not a cliché, hands-off therapist—I will guide you in deconstructing lifelong patterns and help you replace them with more preferred behaviors.

I would love to learn more about you. Please reach out to schedule a free phone consultation to determine if we are a good fit.

I am a dating and relationship therapist helping adults in their 20s and 30s build sustainable relationships. I support clients in their development of self-awareness to deprogram decades unwanted social messaging that perpetuate relational patterns. As a result, you gain a stronger sense of intuition, deeper connections with loved ones, and more autonomy in the dating and relationship space.
