Practice Details

I support adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and personality disorders. Many feel stuck in cycles of shame, self-criticism, rumination, anger, or chronic overwhelm, and come to me after previous treatment has not provided lasting relief. Often they feel misunderstood by others and have felt lonely for as long as they can remember. My clients are already doing the best they can and don’t need to “try harder”; they need specialized expertise and attuned, compassionate care to help channel their considerable efforts into approaches that actually work.
I specialize in evidence-based therapies delivered with warmth, flexibility, and compassion. Combining an intuitive, nonjudgmental approach with advanced clinical expertise, I provide highly individualized care. I integrate mindfulness, attachment-informed, and compassion-centered approaches to help clients create lasting change.
If you feel a nagging worry that there is something wrong with you or feel beaten down by painful and negative self-criticism, deeply yearn for more satisfying relationships, or are stuck in recurring episodes of depression or anxiety, and feel like you’ve tried everything, I invite you to reach out to see if we might be a good fit.
