Therapy is a unique relationship, trying it takes courage.

As a therapist I step into several roles: conversational partner, contrarian, guide, coach, and container. I’m curious, optimistic, and passionate about helping people do what matters to them.

I do my best to really understand you, your relationship history, areas of struggle, and strengths. As we work together I will wind up caring a great deal for you. You can expect me to be honest with you, and to point out potential blind spots that may be hindering your growth.

Joan Didion writes about the private act of keeping a notebook, describing its contents as “bits of the mind’s string.” For me, therapy is like a relational approach to “bits of the mind’s string,” which are exposed to reveal how we see and what we think.

Therapy can be a practicing ground for improved ways of living. Ultimately, I hope to help you change problematic behaviors and to strengthen relationships with others.

I work with a range of concerns including relationship and intimacy challenges, anxiety, OCD, depression.
