About
A Little About Me
I believe that our relationships play an important role in shaping who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we move through the world. They can be a source of connection and comfort, but also where we experience some of our deepest hurts.
As a therapist, I'm interested in understanding the person behind the struggles that bring them into therapy. I want to know about your experiences, the relationships that have shaped you, and the ways you've learned to navigate difficult feelings and situations.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and honesty to my work. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, where difficult conversations are welcome, and where we can look at familiar patterns without judgment.
My Approach
My work is relational and depth-oriented, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and family systems theory.
Whether I'm working with an individual or a couple, I'm interested in understanding not just what's happening now, but how earlier experiences and relationships may be influencing the present.
Therapy isn't about assigning blame or finding a quick fix. It's about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so you have more choice in how you respond, communicate, and connect with others.

I am not in-network with any insurance providers, but I can provide you with a monthly statement (also called a “superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance provider to seek reimbursement. It is up to you to check with your insurance provider about your coverage for out-of-network providers and their services.
I also offer a limited number of spots for clients needing a sliding scale fee.
