Welcome! I know many only seek therapy once things feel unmanageable or hopeless and I’d love to help you find relief and gain some clarity in your life. My goal with each session is to provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental, honest, & often humorous, space to explore how you’re feeling & thinking. I have extensive experience working with major life transitions such as breakups, moves, career changes, graduations, & the anxiety, depression & grief that often co-occur. My passion is helping process interpersonal relationship issues, & helping develop language to what's occurring in your life, relationships & learning to set boundaries.

I often work with patients to examine longstanding difficulties, both with others and within their own selves. Such patterns often leave people feeling misunderstood, empty, lost, unheard, unseen, taken advantage of, stuck, angry, or resentful. Feeling this way can leave you feeling disconnected from and distrusting of others; even those who you love and want to feel close to. Many times, these pieces can be extremely difficult and even can feel impossible to share. And that's okay. We will work together to address what feels important to you and at your pace.

I'm not for everyone and every situation... I specialize in therapy and coaching for executives, couples, and companies who are highly motivated to get unstuck by doing a lot of work in a short period of time through in-person intensives or by secure video.
