People often come to therapy when familiar ways of coping no longer seem to work. You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain about what you want, or caught in patterns that keep repeating. Therapy offers a place to slow down, become curious about your experience, and understand what may be getting in your way.
We are shaped by our relationships and experiences. Over time, we develop ways of protecting ourselves, maintaining connection, and managing difficult feelings. These responses may once have been necessary or helpful, even when they later begin to leave us feeling stuck.
I approach therapy as something we create together. I will listen carefully to what you tell me while also paying attention to the feelings, patterns, and questions that emerge between us. Rather than treating symptoms as personal failures, we can become curious about what they have meant, how they may have protected you, and whether they are still serving you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a psychoanalytically informed psychotherapist. I offer focused, short-term therapy as well as longer exploration. My style is warm, intuitive, collaborative, and at times challenging. Together, we can work toward greater freedom, self-acceptance, connection, and joy.
Finding the right therapist is personal. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can tell me a little about what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and get a sense of how I work.
