Approach to Therapy:

Therapy with me is not about becoming a different person. It’s about helping the person you already are live more authentically within a life that is truly your own. It’s about helping you understand the patterns, pressures, beliefs, and protective strategies that may once have helped you, but now leave you feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or trapped with an inner critic you can’t seem to silence.

Many people come to therapy feeling like they are managing their lives and relationships like projects to optimize – always evaluating, analyzing, or trying to get everything right. Therapy can be a space to step out of constant self-appraisal and build a life that feels not only successful, but also meaningful, connected, and sustainable.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) form the core of my approach, enriched by narrative and psychodynamic theories. Warm, collaborative, and analytically attuned, I bring genuine curiosity into the therapy room, balancing thoughtful exploration with practical tools for change. Together, we'll look beneath automatic reactions, question assumptions that may no longer serve you, and replace reflexive patterns with choices that are more thoughtful, more flexible, and more consistent with who you are and how you want to live.

Clinical Interests:

I am drawn to working with people who find that emotions and relationships remain stubbornly beyond the reach of the strategies they trust elsewhere in life.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in finance and strategy consulting. I know firsthand the particular texture of that world: the feeling that you are never quite done, that there is always one more thing to fix, achieve, or get right before you can finally exhale. I bring that lived understanding of high pressure, high stakes, and high expectations into the room.

I often work with clients who are reflective and self-aware, yet still find themselves caught in cycles of pressure, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or chronic self-doubt. Behind outward competence and capability, there is often exhaustion from trying to hold everything together, and an underlying fear that rest, vulnerability, or imperfection are somehow unsafe. My work is about helping you live more aligned with your values and less exhausted by the distance between who you are and how you're living.

I also work with people navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and evolving family roles — experiences that can sometimes dismantle a carefully constructed sense of self even as life looks, from the outside, like it's going exactly to plan.
