How I Can Help You

A strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and comfortable bringing your whole self into the room. Together, we'll make sense of what's keeping you stuck while building practical skills for navigating life's challenges with greater flexibility and self-compassion. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly twenty years as a book editor. That experience taught me to listen carefully for patterns, meaning, and the stories beneath the surface. I bring that same curiosity to therapy, combining thoughtful exploration with evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and principles from Radically Open DBT, as well as an integration of somatic approaches.

More About the People I Treat

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions. Many are the people others rely on—the dependable partner, parent, friend, or professional—who have become so focused on caring for everyone else that they've lost touch with their own needs. Whether you're hoping to strengthen your relationships, navigate a major transition, or simply feel more at ease in your own life, therapy can help you develop greater emotional flexibility, deeper self-understanding, and more satisfying connections with others.
