I believe that healing occurs when people are given the space to explore their unique emotional experience to better understand how it colors their worldview, sense of self, and relationships with others. Within a safe therapeutic relationship, I work with my clients to make meaning out of both mundane and extraordinary moments, unlocking their ability to live a more fully present, authentic life.

I believe our most painful times are often the times we grow and develop into who we are meant to be. I work with couples and individuals who wish to create more meaning in their lives and relationships. I believe that attachment and trauma are at the core of many of our struggles, and for many of us, we will continue to encounter the same relational issues until we address the underlying attachment wounds. Often, these disruptions are our body’s way of asking us to work through the broken stories of our past so that we can move forward and truly enjoy life.

Life can be overwhelming for adolescents and adults alike. It’s not uncommon to feel stuck in unwanted patterns, negative thoughts, sleepless nights, or the constant pressure to perform.

Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to ease anxiety, enhance focus, strengthen relationships, and bring a greater sense of balance to your life. When you're ready, we can also explore how past experiences may be influencing your progress.

"Normal is nothing more than a setting on a washing machine.” — Whoopi Goldberg’s quote speaks to a core truth I hold in my work as a therapist: that “normal” is often a socially constructed standard that leaves many people feeling inadequate and unseen. Our struggles, quirks, longings, and contradictions aren’t signs of failure, they’re part of being alive and human. I see individuals who are tired of trying to fit into boxes they don’t belong in and who are ready to explore beneath their surface. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when we feel seen in our full complexity.

Welcome! I am a therapist and coach focused on helping high-achieving professionals find less stress and more joy in their lives.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
