I work with individuals & couples who are ready to build fulfilling & joyful relationships- emotionally, physically, & sexually. Clients find me when the fighting, emotional distance, & less than ideal sex are no longer tolerable. If you feel torn between staying & leaving, tangled in patterns of pursuit & withdrawal, or are carrying shame about who you are, I can help. Together we can slow things down, understand what’s underneath the reactivity or shutdown, & build steadier ways to connect—with yourself and with your partner. Isn't it time to move towards a more pleasurable & meaningful way of being with one another?

Seeking therapy is a courageous first step towards better understanding how past and current experiences impact individual wellbeing. I believe the most important part of treatment is establishing a trusting client-therapist relationship. I work to build a warm, open environment so you feel safe when sharing difficult thoughts and feelings. There are times in life when our usual coping strategies are not enough and feelings of helplessness and inadequacy can take over. Therapy can help to successfully navigate life's challenges and make positive changes that will contribute to improved feelings of competence in managing relationships, transitions, and other stressors more productively.

Have you always been the strong one? The one who feels like you're always overextending or feeling responsible for everything? The high-achiever or caretaker? The one who keeps it all together..even when it’s costing you?
Are you ready to understand yourself, break cycles, and feel more grounded and whole? Maybe you've been overwhelmed, and long for space to be fully seen, without judgment. Together, we explore what’s heavy, name what’s been hidden, and make space for healing and clarity.

I focus on the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (addressing the thoughts that keep you stuck) including classic Exposure Response Prevention, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training (working on mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance), and Schema therapy (the lifelong thoughts, behaviors, ideas about how we see the world and how we can heal the ones that make life hard) to assist you to make the changes in thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that help you become the person you want to be.

The quality of our therapeutic alliance shapes the depth of change and what becomes possible in therapy. The patterns that influence your relationships often emerge in the therapeutic process, becoming a living part of our work together. My approach is non-pathologizing and recognizes that our suffering and joy are shaped by the histories we carry, the families and communities we belong to and the broader social context we live within. I support clients in making sense of their lived experiences while honoring their intersecting identities. I value both the depth of this work and the room for humor in our connection.

I write letters for gender affirming care.
After 17 years in the industry I have fine tuned my approach to connect with individuals who have been previously unsuccessful with therapy in the past or are looking to do more in depth targeted work. Most do well with basic coping skills and typical positive encouragement, and there are many therapists offering that approach. The specific therapy methods I employ are focused on understanding and changing core issues rather than just managing behaviors. We will travel together to examine hard truths with the goal of creating long term fundamental changes from an existential perspective.

Are you someone whose life looks “good” from the outside, yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot, but you’re not feeling the fulfillment you expected. Anxiety, OCD or a big life change – maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, parenthood, change in family dynamic or move – has highlighted that you’re still not living the fullest, most authentic life you want to be living. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself, your past and you’re ready to start living wholeheartedly and joyfully here and now.
