I tend to work with people who are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware... and exhausted by their own minds. Anxiety may take the form of panic, health fears that won’t quiet down after reassurance, or a constant pressure to do better, be better, or stay in control. You may spend a lot of time monitoring, researching, or trying to reason your way out of worry, only to find it keeps coming back.

I also work with couples who care about each other but keep circling the same arguments - often about money, trust, or who’s carrying more of the load. You may understand the problem clearly and still feel completely stuck.

Together, we'll slow things down and get curious about why these patterns keep showing up rather than trying to quiet them with reassurance or advice. Therapy with me is engaged and insight-driven - sometimes funny, sometimes challenging. It's work! But you don't have to do it alone.

My specialties are perfectionism and anxiety - especially health anxiety - and couples therapy. I find the psychology of money fascinating, and love helping couples navigate their view on finances together! I particularly enjoy working with creatives, academics, and other therapists, but I have a soft spot for anyone who didn't get the carefree childhood they deserved.
