Vulnerability can be an uncomfortable word. It is defined as the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed either physically or emotionally. Some of us struggle with this more than others. As a clinician, I help people navigate this sometimes uncomfortable first step in order to access deep emotional knots that together, we will untie. It can be challenging, but this marks the beginning stages of the emotional healing process.

My favorite people to work with are kind, curious, and motivated. Many would describe themselves as “highly sensitive” or deeply feeling. On the outside they may look composed and capable, but inside they’re carrying a lot—anxiety, self-doubt, old shame, or a sense that they’re “too much” or “not enough.” They’re not just looking for coping skills; they want to understand why they feel the way they do, where their patterns come from, and how to relate to themselves and others differently.

In our work together, we pay attention to both the conscious story and the unconscious layers underneath it. I’m interested in the subtle shifts that happen in the room—tension in the body, changes in tone, the impulse to apologize, to withdraw, or to caretake. These moments often repeat earlier experiences in family, culture, and relationships. By noticing and making sense of them together, new ways of being can emerge: clearer boundaries, more self-compassion, and deeper, more authentic connection.

I have worked with a broad spectrum of demographics from adolescents, young adults and adults suffering from substance use disorder, depression, anxiety and trauma. I believe in utilizing a wide array of modalities including somatic, psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, which I personalize for each client as each one of us is unique.

My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I’m not here to judge or to rush you, but to stay alongside you as we explore both the known and the not-yet-known parts of your inner world. If you’re someone who feels a lot, thinks deeply, and is ready to go beneath the surface, I look forward to accompanying you in your process as we navigate uncharted emotional territory.
