Welcome
I work with adults of all ages who are motivated to change their lives through a willingness to explore their inner worlds.
I help people navigate problems like chronic pain, chronic illness, perimenopause and postmenopause, relationship challenges, life transitions, and dissatisfaction despite high achievement..
Regardless of what brings you to therapy, my goal is to help you reconnect to yourself, stop overriding your own needs, and make choices that genuinely support your wellbeing—not just get you through another week.
The more we shy away from our vulnerability and ignore what our emotions and bodies are telling us, the more disconnected and overwhelmed we feel. We start to feel powerless in our own lives, like life is happening to us.
Therapy creates space to understand those signals so you can begin responding to them differently—and things can change.
You’re functioning…
but you’re not flourishing.
From the outside, your life looks fine.
You're not falling apart. You're meeting your responsibilities. You may even be leading a very successful life by most people's standards.
But on the inside, something feels off. You're carrying more stress than people realize. You’re disconnected from yourself.
You have the sense that your true needs aren’t being met. Maybe you even suspect you’re only keeping things together because you’ve been overriding your real needs for a long time.
You’re tired of suffering emotionally—and maybe even physically—to keep up a status quo that doesn’t serve you. It feels like there is so little room to actually enjoy life that you’re thinking, “This can’t be as good as it gets.”
You're pushing through, not living well.
You want to feel more connected to yourself, your relationships, and your life—and I want to help you get there.
How I work
Therapy isn't simply a place to vent. I offer a nonjudgmental space where honest reflection can lead to meaningful change.
My approach is equal parts accepting and change-focused. I believe effective therapy balances validation with candid feedback, and warmth with gentle challenges. So you won’t find me silently nodding through fifty minutes each week.
I ask thoughtful questions and offer grounded observations without judgment to help you connect patterns that can be difficult to see on your own. I’m not here to tell you what to do or how to live. I’m here to help you tune into the whispers (and maybe shouts) that are already within you, just getting drowned out or overlooked. Together, we’ll make sense of those signals and identify practical ways to move your life in a direction that better reflects who you are and what matters most to you.
I’m not afraid to have the hard conversations, because I know that people don't feel better because they strive harder, meet everyone else’s expectations, or finally get everything “right.” They change because they understand themselves more deeply, stop overriding their own needs, and begin acting in ways that are more aligned with who they really are. It’s then that the weight lifts. You feel more yourself. Life doesn’t become perfect, but suddenly it’s working.
Are we a good fit?
Therapy is most effective when the relationship between therapist and client is a good fit. If you're wondering whether we'd work well together, here's what you can expect from me—and what I ask of my clients.
