I specialize in working with individuals experiencing high levels of anxiety, including chronic worry, stress, and feeling constantly on edge.
The people I work with often feel lost in themselves - they're done playing games and putting up a billboard of who they've been pretending to be. Many of my clients are high-functioning, who appear calm and capable, but are struggling on the inside with self-doubt, stress, and persistent anxiety.

I am certain that no amount of research or birthing classes can fully prepare a person for the challenges of parenthood. As a mother myself, I understand some of the difficulties that come during the perinatal time period. Having the support you need can make a positive impact during this unique time. In therapy you can find a nonjudgmental space for processing and support.

I help capable people feel fully alive again. You may be successful on the outside yet still feel anxious and disconnected. Perhaps you are stuck in painful patterns or uncertain about who you are beneath the roles you carry. You likely have accomplished remarkable things, but something still feels missing. Maybe you've spent years taking care of others while neglecting yourself. Perhaps you are queer, you’ve come out, but things haven’t gotten better. By creating a space where you can better understand yourself, we will improve your relationships to build a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your values.

I’m a seasoned relational psychotherapist with a deep passion for the work. I believe we carry our own answers within us, but sometimes we need support to uncover them -and learn to trust our own inner wisdom.
Depending on your needs, our work may include:
Psychodynamic exploration – looking at your personal history to understand how it influences your present life. Cognitive and behavioral strategies – identifying distorted beliefs and how they affect your emotions and behavior.
Processing difficult experiences – shifting between the past and the present moment to foster healing and resolution.

I work with clients who look capable and put-together on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stretched thin on the inside.
I offer a warm, grounded space that is gentle yet honest. I support clients by slowing things down, and exploring unhealthy thought patterns related to anxiety, depression, and codependency. I am especially mindful of how trauma, substance use, and domestic violence influence self-worth, boundaries, and the way we relate to others.

From work stress to depression & anxiety, to health issues, to problems in their relationships (marriages, kid, families).

I know the amazing strengths men have, and how sometimes that can cause us to burn out, suffer, or shut down. I also have personal experience - married for over 20 years, the father of a teenaged son. I bring a real-world viewpoint into therapy.

Hello and welcome! I work particularly well with folks who describe themselves as high-achieving, people-pleasers, and/or caretakers/nurturers. If this is you, perhaps you've accomplished a lot or helped others a great deal, but are starting to feel tired, out of sync with yourself, anxious, or down? I look forward to learning about your unique story and where you feel most stuck or lost. Together we can build a safe space for your exploration, healing, and growth. I bring humility paired with experience, having been a clinical social worker for nearly two decades in various settings, and in private practice for seven years.

I help adults ready to stop managing and start changing — those dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and performance concerns, as well as those who want more clarity and intention in their work, relationships, and life.
My approach is practical and evidence-based, drawing on cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, as well as proven neuroregulation strategies. For many clients, I also offer neurofeedback — a brain-based tool that helps restore lasting focus, calm, and self-regulation in ways talk therapy alone sometimes can't.
