About My Clients

I specialize in working with young professionals who come from chaotic or neglectful childhoods. My clients often appear to have it all figured out- they are successful in their careers, have achieved many personal and societal milestones, and are smart and capable problem solvers. Despite this, they find themselves failing in relationships, terrified of the perceptions and judgements of others, struggling with emotional intimacy, burnt out, and uninspired.

My Background and Approach

We may work well together if you are curious about the why. You are interested in getting to the root of the problem and aren’t interested in a temporary, quick fix. You want to be understood and understand yourself more deeply. You don’t want be viewed as a problem to be fixed or have coping skills thrown at you without getting into the meat of the issue. If you work with me, the goal of treatment is always to feel more alive, more connected, and have more agency over your thoughts and feelings and what you choose to do about them. Counseling of this nature can help you know yourself more completely and be a catalyst for deep, sustained change- not just temporary symptom relief. Successful therapeutic work can look like an ability to embrace a wide spectrum of emotions without judgement and to more successfully manage the inherent and inevitable pain of human life. ​

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We are so much more than a diagnosis. Life is complicated, but therapy doesn't have to be. I am curious about the experience of others, and I strive to create an environment where you can be truly heard, seen, and believed.
