My clients

Woman sitting by the ocean looking at the water

I work with highly insightful women and members of the LGBTQ+ community who, despite their best efforts, feel stuck.

Often admired for their competence and charisma. It may not be apparent they've overcome early trauma, abuse, or emotional neglect.

They struggle privately with overthinking and intense feelings like fear, anger, guilt, and shame.

Dynamics with romantic partners, family members, colleagues, or friends are painful and confusing, with responsivity giving way to reactivity.

It can be hard to feel safe, and coping mechanisms like perfectionism, control, avoidance, and self-criticism sabotage intimacy and inner-peace.

Intelligent and introspective, my clients know there's more to life than survival; they're committed to self-actualization.

You may be…


Holding it together day to day, but unravelling in your relationships

Drawn to people who feel familiar, even when they hurt you

Getting hijacked by your reactions in the moments that matter most

Losing your sense of self when you get close to someone

Pushing your needs aside to keep from being rejected

Staying longer than you want to because leaving feels unbearable

When I’m not the right fit:

Your path in therapy is unique, and it may call for an approach outside of what I offer. There are practitioners with specialized expertise in every area of mental health. If your needs fall outside my scope, I’ll be happy to help connect you with someone who can better support you. At this time, I do not provide:

  • Therapy for children, adolescents, families, or couples/groups

  • Treatment for active substance use disorders requiring stabilization

  • Treatment for active eating disorders requiring multidisciplinary support

  • Coaching/treatment focused primarily on executive functioning difficulties

Because my approach is relational, with a strong focus on alliance and emotional attunement, I also don’t offer strictly skills-based, short-term, or intermittent therapy. I assess fit based on a commitment to depth-oriented work, and ask that my clients attend weekly appointments consistently.
