My Approach to Therapy

I think of the therapeutic relationship like a lighthouse guiding a ship through shifting tides. Together, we shine light on hidden emotional patterns, past experiences, and present struggles—helping you navigate toward greater clarity and well-being. While my foundation is psychodynamic, which explores the unconscious roots of your thoughts and feelings, I also work in a collaborative and integrative way—tailoring therapy to your specific needs, goals, and pace. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I offer a safe, engaging space for reflection, growth, and change. I work with private-pay clients seeking individual therapy that is personalized, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of your unique story.

My Practice & Services

Starting therapy can feel like a vulnerable step, and I strive to make the process feel welcoming, collaborative, and grounded. I work with adults and couples from diverse cultural, racial, spiritual, and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds, and I am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. While my work is rooted in psychodynamic and relational theory, I also draw from attachment-based, insight-oriented, and mindfulness-informed approaches, tailoring the process to your individual needs and goals. I also supervise a team of pre-licensed associate therapists within my practice—each carefully selected and trained to provide high-quality, compassionate care. Together, we aim to offer a thoughtful and inclusive therapeutic experience to a wide range of individuals and couples.

Groups I Work With

I work with adults and couples navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My practice includes people from all walks of life, but I have particular experience with: Entertainment industry professionals and those in creative or high-pressure careers. Career-focused individuals and professionals in media, legal, and consumer product industries. People experiencing relationship stress, communication issues, or navigating couples therapy. Individuals going through life transitions, including relocation, divorce, parenthood, or loss. Adults struggling with anxiety, grief, depression, or identity concerns. Therapists, artists, and caregivers seeking reflective space and emotional clarity. Those processing early attachment wounds or longstanding patterns they wish to change. Many of my clients identify as thoughtful, driven, and emotionally curious, but find themselves overwhelmed, creatively blocked, or uncertain about how to move forward. Whether you're coming to therapy for the first time or returning with deeper questions, I meet you where you are—with warmth, insight, and a collaborative spirit.
