Welcome! Throughout my clinical experience, I have treated a range of mental health issues with an emphasis on anxiety, OCD, BFRBs, phobias, and perfectionism. My background includes addressing ADHD/executive functioning difficulties, stress, career questions, and relationship impasses. I often work with those whose anxiety or life experiences have led to avoidance as a psychological coping tool. I focus on adults across the lifespan and college students. I look to collaborate with clients and seek purposeful, effective approaches to personal challenges. I provide consultations on complex cases and clinical supervision.

My ideal client feels stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety, OCD, eating or body image concerns, depression, or BFRBs. They’re frustrated by patterns that don’t make sense but feel hard to stop. They want practical, evidence-based tools and real relief—not just coping. Their goal is to feel freer, more confident, and more connected to themselves and others, and they’re looking for a warm, collaborative therapist who truly gets it.

Therapy is one of the most loving practices we can gift ourselves. It is brave and powerful to look inwards, meet parts of ourselves we’ve tucked away, and share our inner world. We all have parts of us that resist change, uncomfortable emotions, vulnerability, and owning our truths. And we also have parts of us that are yearning to speak up, to be free, and to feel confident in our ability to manage life’s many ebbs and flows. I join you in the process of growth and self-reflection with warmth, empowerment, and acceptance as we discover the most authentic versions of you.

I am a "generalist" and clinically serve individuals, couples and families across all phases of development (from pre-teens and adolescents through to older adults).

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially when you’re navigating anxiety, loss, or major life transitions. I offer a warm, thoughtful space grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy where you can begin to make sense of your experiences and move toward meaningful change. My work includes supporting clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, and grief, often in the context of academic and professional stress and life transitions. This includes working with individuals navigating the emotional impact of more complex experiences, including chronic, medical, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Individual clients welcome. Many of the people I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed, stretched thin by work, relationships, parenting, or caregiving, and unsure why familiar patterns keep repeating. Some feel disconnected from themselves, their partners, or their sense of desire despite loving their families. I help clients slow down, understand emotional and relational patterns, and regain clarity so they can move forward with intention.
Alongside clinical training, I bring lived experience—long-term marriage (20+ years), raising 3 children, and navigating how identity, intimacy, and desire shift over time.
