Specialties
I provide individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults experiencing emotional distress and relational difficulties. I specialize in the following issues...
Anger isn’t the enemy.
It’s a signal—something inside you is overwhelmed, overburdened, or unprotected. In therapy, we don't just try to make the anger "go away." We get curious about it. Where did it come from? What is it trying to guard?
Because underneath rage, there is often pain. Underneath irritation, there may be grief. Underneath the need to control, there is often a story of not feeling safe.
Anxiety can take over your work, your relationships, your ability to enjoy life. Your partner might be pulling away. Your kids notice your inner tension. You’re tired of being “on” all the time, tired of the mental noise you can’t seem to shut off.
It doesn’t have to stay this way.
When someone pulls away, even briefly, it feels like your world is shaking. You might get clingy, or anxious, or angry. It’s not that you want to be difficult—it’s just that the fear of abandonment feels like a loud alarm inside you, and it’s hard to turn it off.
Anxious attachment is a survival strategy your mind developed long ago to protect you from feeling alone or abandoned. In therapy, we'll explore what drives your worries and fears. We carefully disentangle patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, and emotional overwhelm. We'll work to help you build trust—not just in others, but in yourself.
Avoidant attachment in relationships doesn’t mean you don’t want love.
It means somewhere along the way, you learned that needing someone wasn’t safe. That closeness came with strings, expectations, pressure—or pain. So you learned to rely on yourself. To downplay your feelings. To keep your guard up.
In therapy, we won’t rush you into vulnerability. We'll explore what’s happening beneath the withdrawal, the silence, the urge to disconnect. We'll build trust—starting with your trust in yourself to handle closeness without losing your boundaries.
Depression can look like sadness—but it can also look like irritability, brain fog, flatness, or just a relentless heaviness that won’t lift. It can make everyday things—getting out of bed, returning a text, answering an email—feel impossibly hard.
Something happened—or many things did. Maybe it was sudden. Maybe it went on for years. Maybe you’ve never called it trauma, but you know you haven’t felt safe, or whole, or fully here in a long time. You might be high-functioning on the outside, but inside, there’s a constant hum of fear or numbness. You avoid certain people, places, or feelings because they bring too much up. You’re exhausted from keeping it all together.
You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone.
