Short Description (199 characters max)
Therapy for individuals and couples seeking deeper connection, emotional healing, self-understanding, and more grounded ways of relating.
Description (2950 characters max)
I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy for individuals and couples seeking greater connection to themselves, their relationships, and the lives they want to inhabit more fully. My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens not only through insight, but through felt experience, emotional presence, and new ways of relating.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, grief, identity exploration, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, creativity, and questions of meaning or belonging. I also support those impacted by addiction, compulsive patterns, and recovery processes, including partners and loved ones affected by these dynamics. Drawing from psychodynamic, somatic, expressive arts, and trauma-informed approaches, our work attends both to present-day struggles and the deeper patterns that shape them.
For couples, therapy may involve working through communication difficulties, recurring conflict, intimacy concerns, trust ruptures, or the emotional patterns that keep partners feeling disconnected from one another. I aim to support couples in developing greater understanding, emotional responsiveness, and capacity for repair.

My style is warm, engaged, and thoughtful. I strive to create a space where all parts of your experience can be approached with curiosity, care, and honesty — including the parts that may feel difficult to name, hold, or understand alone.

I integrate talk therapy with attention to the body, imagination, creativity, and emotional process when helpful. Working with the arts can support the metabolizing of experience, deepen awareness of your inner landscape, and invite something new to emerge. This process is always collaborative and guided by your needs, pace, and goals.

I welcome adults, couples, and creatives from diverse backgrounds and identities.
