We all strive to feel comfortable in our skin,

My Approach

I work with people who struggle with emotion regulation, identity, and relationship instability — and with high-functioning professionals who feel blocked around intimacy and empathy.

What brings people here

You may notice that relationships don't unfold the way you want them to, but you can't quite name why. Maybe you swing between craving closeness and pushing people away. Maybe anger arrives quickly and intensely, followed by shame or shutting down. Or you can function at a high level professionally while feeling detached, dissatisfied, or fundamentally alone in intimate relationships.

For some people, these struggles also show up around food, body image, or self-control — especially when emotions spike, when you feel rejected or criticized, or when self-judgment takes over.

Many of the people who come to my practice have tried therapy before. They're not new to insight, but the deeper patterns haven't shifted, or the gains didn't last. If that's familiar, it doesn't mean you're "bad at therapy." Some difficulties require a different kind of work.

How I work

I offer a form of psychotherapy that is active, engaged, and relational. This is not only a sympathetic ear. Over time, our work becomes a clear mirror: we track the patterns that keep you feeling lonely, stuck, or empty — especially the ones that show up between us in the therapy room — and we use those real-time moments to understand what's happening, creating the opportunity to try something different.

The work can be intense, but it is purposeful: aimed at building a more stable sense of self, greater emotional range, and more secure ways of relating. I tend to be a good fit for people who want depth, clarity, and accountability, along with an approach that is respectful, direct, and focused on lasting change.

Ultimately, there is great freedom and relief to be found in turning toward what we would rather push away. And, often, the thing most feared isn't as frightening when it is confronted.
