About My Clients

I work with individuals and couples — most of the people who find their way to me are men & women in midlife, navigating a stage where so much is shifting. It’s a time when a lot can feel uncertain — relationships shift, careers feel less (or more) fulfilling, & big questions start bubbling up. With couples, I draw from my training as a Level 2 Gottman therapist and the wisdom of Esther Perel’s work. I help partners communicate better &manage conflict in a way that doesn’t repeat old patterns.

My Background and Approach

I've worked in a variety of settings with people from all kinds of backgrounds, so I take a big-picture approach — looking at your personal history, culture and strengths to help you build a deeper connection with yourself. My style is collaborative, warm and sometimes even a little humorous because therapy doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. I blend practical skills with deeper insight, pulling from my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to give you tools that actually make a difference in your day-to-day life.
