Entering therapy can feel vulnerable, but it is also a meaningful step that can lead to lasting emotional ease. When the impact of relationships in your life has left you off balance, it can show up as confusion, anxiety, exhaustion, or a sense of isolation. That’s a lot to carry on your own and can permeate many areas of your life. As we begin to look at things together, you may start to see that many of your choices have been efforts to relieve the inner tension created by stressful relationships, situations and responsibilities. Together, we can find a meaningful way to relieve that tension.
My work is informed by years of experience, training, and a love of people. Whether you're navigating the demands of everyday life or are living under the pressures of high visibility, I’ll meet you where you are. If personal doubts, people pleasing or chronic anxiety permeate your choices and emotional responses, I can help.
If you’ve had disappointing experiences in therapy in the past, that matters. I provide a safe and normal space. If this feels like something you've been hoping for, I invite you to talk with me in a complimentary 15" minute phone consultation.

Therapy isn't a straight climb upward—it's a real, human process with breakthroughs, plateaus, and moments that feel messy or unclear. Even the tough parts matter; they often hold the pieces that lead to a greater sense of emotional security. I will help you make sense of all of the pieces.

My work is informed by attachment theory and psychodynamic theory, which means I give thoughtful attention to patterns in relationships and the ways past experiences shape the present as I help you find your path forward. At times, I will be direct but always warm. Throughout, I strive to create a steady, collaborative space where you feel safe and accepted.
