You may look accomplished yet still feel anxious, disconnected, or frustrated by patterns you can’t break. I help adults understand why shame, self-criticism, relationship struggles, or identity questions keep resurfacing. My approach is direct, warm, and insight-focused. I use Affect Relational Theory (A.R.T.) to help you make sense of your emotional world and build a more coherent, grounded relationship with yourself.

With over 25 years of experience, I work with professionals, creatives, and LGBTQ+ adults who want clarity, stability, and healthier relationships. I specialize in anxiety, chronic shame, intimacy issues, trauma, and recurring relational conflicts. My work blends depth, emotional literacy, and practical tools that support real change.

If you’re ready to understand your patterns, improve your relationships, and feel more at home in your life, I’d be glad to help. Therapy with me offers a thoughtful, supportive space to grow with honesty and courage. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

I am the originator of my own therapeutic model, Affect Relational Therapy (ART), based on Silvan Tomkins's work, who developed affect theory. I combine his theory with psychoanalytic and psycho-neurological (polyvagal) to explore the role of shame in relationships. This model helps me enormously in helping my patients improve their relationships with themselves and others.
