Does this sound familiar?
Something’s been off for a while now. Maybe you can’t pinpoint exactly when it started, but you know it’s there.
Maybe you’re carrying more than you let on. Maybe the relationships in your life leave you feeling alone, even when you’re not. Maybe you’ve been going through the motions for so long you’ve forgotten what it felt like to not do that. Or maybe your body is sending signals you can’t ignore: the tension, the sleeplessness, the anxiety that arrives without warning.
You’ve probably tried things. Self-help books, podcasts, maybe even therapy before. Some of it helped for a bit. But you keep ending up back in the same place, and you’re starting to realize the problem is deeper than surface-level coping strategies can reach.
If you’re reading this, you already know something: whatever’s driving this, it’s not something you can think your way out of on your own.
What Actually Changes in Therapy
Therapy isn’t only about learning techniques to manage symptoms. It’s about understanding why the symptoms are there in the first place.
When we work together, we look at the patterns you can’t see on your own. Why you shut down right when you want to speak up. Why you sabotage things when they start going well. Why you feel responsible for everyone’s emotions except your own. Why certain situations trigger reactions that feel way too big for what’s actually happening.
Here’s what often shifts:
The Sunday night dread lifts. You stop losing entire days to anxiety. The fight with your partner that used to derail you for a week becomes a conversation you can actually have. You make a decision based on what you want, not what you think will keep everyone else comfortable. You set a boundary without apologizing for it. You notice you’re present in moments instead of watching them happen from somewhere else.
Your body changes too. You sleep through the night. Your shoulders drop away from your ears. The knot in your stomach loosens. These aren’t small things. They’re signs your nervous system is finally getting the message that you’re safe.
This doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen because I give you worksheets. It happens because we look at what’s actually driving your life: the beliefs you didn’t know you had, the patterns that made sense once but don’t serve you now, the parts of yourself you’ve been working around instead of working with.
Who I Work With
Adults. Anxiety that won’t settle. Relationships that keep going the same way. A sense that you’re living a life that doesn’t quite fit, even if it looks fine from the outside.
Teens (13+). For parents: when your teen is struggling and won’t talk to you about it, they may be willing to talk to someone else. I work with teens directly, and keep parents involved in a way that protects the trust therapy depends on.
Couples. When it feels like the same fight keeps happening in different clothes. We look at what each of you brings to the pattern, not just who’s right.
How I Work
I work primarily from a psychodynamic approach, which means we’re looking at the deeper why beneath your patterns. When it’s useful, I bring in other tools such as CBT and EMDR.
With thousands of hours of clinical experience in both private practice and inpatient psychiatric settings, I’ve learned that good therapy isn’t about applying the same formula to everyone. It’s about understanding what you actually need and meeting you there.
The relationship we build matters too. When someone truly understands what you’re going through without judging it, something fundamental shifts. You can finally explore the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding, and life starts to feel less like something you’re managing and more like something you’re actually living.
Why I Don’t Take Insurance
Insurance pays for therapy that treats a diagnosis, and it usually wants the work kept short. That fits some problems. It doesn’t fit what most people come to me for: understanding patterns that have been running quietly for years.
Paying privately means we decide together how long the work takes, and your insurance company never sees your records unless you choose to submit a claim. Sessions are $155. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, I can give you a superbill so you can seek reimbursement. More about fees.
