My clients
I work with highly insightful women and members of the LGBTQ+ community who, despite their best efforts, feel stuck.
They’re often admired for their competence and charisma, and it may not be apparent they’ve overcome early trauma, abandonment, or emotional neglect.
They struggle privately with overthinking and intense feelings like guilt, shame, jealousy, and anger.
Dynamics with romantic partners, family members, colleagues, or friends are painful and confusing, resulting in conflict or anxiety.
Coping mechanisms like perfectionism, control, avoidance, and people-pleasing provide a false sense of safety while actually sabotaging intimacy and inner-peace.
Intelligent and introspective, my clients know there's more to life than survival—they're committed to self-actualization.
You may be…
Holding it together day to day, but unravelling in your relationships
Drawn to people who feel familiar, even when they hurt you
Getting hijacked by your reactions in the moments that matter most
Losing your sense of self when you get close to someone
Pushing your needs aside to keep from being rejected
Staying longer than you want to because leaving feels unbearable
Specialty populations:
Creatives / arts & entertainment professionals
Empty nesters & parents of young adults
Cancer patients & their loved ones
Therapists / mental health professionals
Individuals in ENM / open / polyamorous relationships
Individuals in later-stage DBT treatment (stages 2-4)
Loved ones of those exhibiting traits consistent with:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Substance Use Disorders (SUD)
When I’m not the right fit:
Your path in therapy is unique, and it may call for an approach outside of what I offer. If your needs fall outside my scope, I’ll be happy to help connect you with someone who can better support you. At this time, I do not provide:
Therapy for children, adolescents, families, or couples/groups
Treatment for active substance use disorders requiring stabilization
Treatment for active eating disorders requiring multidisciplinary support
Coaching/treatment focused primarily on executive functioning difficulties
Because my approach is relational, with a strong focus on alliance and emotional attunement, my practice is best suited for clients open to depth-oriented weekly therapy.
