About My Clients

Something in you has been circling — a pattern you can't quite name, a distance from yourself you can't quite close, a life that looks right from the outside but feels incomplete within. Together we'll explore how unconscious patterns shape your relationships and the ways you move through the world. I work closely with neurodivergent folks, academics and and creatives, LGBTQIA+ individuals and rainbow families, and those living far from home or navigating new terrain within themselves.

My Background and Approach

I help you explore the deeper patterns and meanings that run beneath the surface of daily life. Rooted in contemporary psychoanalysis, our work slows down enough for what’s hidden or emerging to come into view. Together we make sense of what feels tangled or stuck, opening room for movement, clarity, and more authentic connection. If you’re searching for a place to listen inward and bring what feels unresolved or uncertain, I welcome you to reach out for a 15-minute consultation. I value depth, complexity, and authentic engagement paired with gentle humor. Together we can explore your inner landscape at a pace that feels right.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am culturally sensitive, neuroaffirming and queer/trans affirming. I work with adults, children, couples, and relational constellations of all kinds—including academics and creatives, parents, LGBTQIA individuals and rainbow families, and those navigating questions of belonging, identity, and cultural transition.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
