About Us

I work with teens and adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, or a constant feeling of pressure to "do more." Often, these patterns began as essential ways to survive or navigate difficult times, and even when they no longer serve you, they can be hard to shift on your own.

Where my approach comes from

Rooted in psychodynamic principles and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), my approach looks beneath the surface at how early connections shape your experience today. We use insight to understand why these patterns formed and EFT to work through how they live in you right now. The patterns that kept you safe when you were small can become the cage you can't see from the inside. My goal is to help you move from simply "knowing" why you feel this way to actually experiencing a new sense of freedom and confidence.

Because change happens in our bodies, I weave in somatic work, mindfulness, and tools from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These practices support nervous system regulation and provide concrete ways to navigate intense feelings as we do the deeper work. They are introduced gently and always paced to what feels right for you.

Understanding over fixing

Instead of pushing feelings away or trying to "fix" yourself, we look at how your emotional responses developed and how they may have helped you in the past, even if they're now getting in the way. From there, we work toward more safety, flexibility, and self-compassion, so relationships (including the one you have with yourself) feel less exhausting and more secure.

How I came to this work

I started sitting ten-day silent meditation retreats when I was nineteen. I didn't know yet that I was training to be a therapist. I just knew that something happened in those rooms — a kind of attention I hadn't experienced anywhere else, the kind that lets a feeling finish saying what it came to say. Years later, after a winding path through acting, philosophy, and a yoga teacher training in India, I realized that what I'd been studying all along was the same question I now sit with clients every day: what happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves long enough to actually listen?

That question shapes how I show up in the room. I think of therapy as a creative, embodied practice between two people — not a protocol. I believe relationship itself is the primary vehicle for change. Insight matters, but it's the felt experience of being met, in the room, that actually rearranges things on the inside.

Who I work with

The people who tend to find me are deep feelers, careful thinkers, and tender perfectionists — often the ones holding everyone else together, with not much room left to be held themselves. Teens and adults, often quietly exhausted by the gap between how they appear and how they actually feel.

Want a feel for how we work? Listen to one of the free guided meditations on our Resources page — breathwork, yoga nidra, or a grounding practice. The same recordings clients use between sessions.

My aim is to build a safe, collaborative space that is respectful of your pace. This work is about helping you feel more grounded, understood, and connected over time. If any of this speaks to you, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Modalities — Mind: Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Body: Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness & Meditation, Yoga Nidra.

Before I was a therapist, I spent years as an interior designer. I realized early on that my real work wasn't about floor plans. It was about navigating the stress of a shared vision. High-pressure projects taught me how to hold space for the hard conversations that happen when a partnership is being reimagined.

That same practical perspective is at the heart of my clinical work. I help individuals and couples untangle relational patterns, reconnect after loss or disconnection, and rebuild something that actually holds. Whether you're navigating grief, a major life transition, or the kind of quiet emotional distance that's easy to ignore but hard to live with, I bring clarity and warmth to the process.

Who I work with

The people who tend to land in my office are creatives, caregivers, helpless romantics, highly sensitive people, people-pleasers, and perfectionists. They're often the ones holding everyone else together, quietly running out of room to be held themselves. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

I work with couples navigating the slower kinds of unraveling, individuals carrying chronic pain or illness, people moving through divorce or grief, and anyone facing a life transition that's bigger than the words available for it.

How I work

I'm trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 3) and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, with ongoing training in DBT and a person-centered foundation. In practice, that means I tailor what we do together to what you actually need rather than running a single playbook. Some weeks that looks like concrete tools and skills. Other weeks it looks like slowing down and getting curious about what a feeling is trying to tell you.

A space to be met with grace

My goal is to offer a space where you will be met with grace, wherever you are in your story. You don't need to arrive with the right words or a tidy summary of what's wrong. You can come in tired, ambivalent, mid-sentence, undone. We'll start from there.
