I especially enjoy working with thoughtful, reflective adults who may appear to be functioning quite well on the outside, yet find themselves struggling internally with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or recurring relationship patterns.

Often, these difficulties begin to make more sense when we look at the experiences and relationships that shaped us early in life. You don’t need to have experienced an obvious trauma for childhood experiences to leave a lasting imprint. Sometimes there was simply a mismatch between what you needed emotionally and what the important people in your life were able to provide.

I bring 26 years of clinical experience to this work and believe deeply in creating a therapeutic relationship characterized by warmth, curiosity, honesty, and respect.

My approach is integrative, relational, and insight-oriented. I draw from attachment theory, psychodynamic and relational therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic approaches, and trauma-informed care, adapting our work to the needs of each individual.

I’m interested not only in what you’re experiencing, but in understanding why certain patterns continue to show up. Beliefs and ways of coping that developed early in life often made very good sense at the time. Together, we can approach them with curiosity rather than judgment, understand what purpose they’ve served, and determine whether they still fit the person you are today.

Insight matters, but therapy with me isn’t only about understanding the past. We’ll also pay attention to what happens in your present life—your emotions, relationships, choices, and the ways you respond to yourself

My hope is that therapy helps you understand yourself with greater clarity and compassion. Over time, you may begin to recognize patterns as they’re happening rather than simply finding yourself caught in them.

Our work can help you distinguish between beliefs you developed long ago and what you genuinely believe about yourself today. The goal isn’t to erase your past, but to give you more freedom in the present—to respond rather than react, relate to yourself with greater kindness, and make choices that feel more authentically your own
