I specialize in Anxiety, Divorce, and Women's Issues

Life changes, anxiety, depression or a general sense of unease have the potential to carry forward in ways that we can’t always quite pinpoint but can sense. I’ve come to this work after living much of my life in this type of lingering distress without realizing things could be different. I work with clients who are experiencing emotional discomfort and have a desire to live differently in understanding themselves more deeply. With me, clients find an equal partner, creative listener, and empathic advocate.

Working from a psychoanalytic perspective, I focus on how a client’s earliest experiences have influenced the person they are today. I listen closely to how those influences are showing up in our relationship, so that together we can understand how they affect what is happening in the here and now. Additionally, I am influenced by object relations, trauma theory, and internal family systems.

I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant factors in supporting transformational work. If given the opportunity, I look forward to partnering with you and better understanding your struggles, your goals, and all your complexities. I am available to meet over the phone or via telehealth to explore whether you think we would be a good fit.
