Great to meet you!

I apply the principles of affective neuroscience to help high-achieving professionals navigate complex emotional landscapes. As a Clinical Fellow of the Neuropsychoanalysis Association and a researcher, I offer a personalized, comprehensive, and compassionate approach that moves beyond reductive "cookie-cutter" treatments and saccharine AI advice. I focus on deep human connection and clinical accuracy, aiming to help you reach stable results, growth, and emotional freedom. I accept complex cases that other practitioners may find challenging. I specialize in working with neurodiverse clients from a strength-based, complexity-aware perspective rather than a "disorder" perspective.

My approach to therapy

I practice neuroscience-informed, contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy. It is most useful for clients who suffer from feelings that they don't fully understand, or those who know what needs to be done but have difficulties doing it.

What you can expect from me

You can expect clarity on what is going on and how to proceed to your goals. We will engage deeply, personally, and in human language without jargon. You can expect to understand how to reach stable results and feel emotionally free to pursue your goals.
