I work with children, adolescents, and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to make sense of what they’re experiencing. Parents often reach out when their child is struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, school stress, or changes in behavior — and they want support that feels thoughtful, not reactive. People often come seeking clarity, relief, or a deeper understanding of long-standing patterns.
I offer therapy that is both relational and practical. My approach integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and attachment-based perspectives, grounded in an existential belief in meaning, responsibility, and human dignity. I help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and strengthen relationships.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, whether you’re seeking support for yourself or for your child. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. If you’re looking for a counselor who balances compassion with clinical grounding, I invite you to reach out and see if we might be a good fit.

My practice integrates psychodynamic and attachment-based theory with evidence-informed cognitive-behavioral interventions, grounded in an existential framework of meaning and responsibility. Treatment is relationally focused and developmentally informed, emphasizing formulation-driven intervention, affect regulation, and the therapeutic alliance as primary mechanisms of change.
