About Me
I’m a Modern Analytic therapist specializing in relational therapy for high-functioning adults who want more than coping skills. My work focuses on how your inner world is shaped, how it plays out with others, and how those patterns can be transformed in a real relationship — including the therapy relationship and the group space.
Clients who work with me tend to be intelligent, self-aware, successful in many parts of life, and ready for a level of honesty and emotional engagement that their everyday world doesn’t often invite.
I bring warmth, clarity, and directness, along with a firm belief that emotional insight is a powerful agent of change. My approach is experiential, relational, and grounded in the tradition of using the here-and-now as the laboratory for transformation.

Individuals
You’ve done well in life, but certain patterns continue to show up — overthinking, old wounds resurfacing under stress, difficulty letting yourself be fully known, or a feeling that something inside you is asking for more. Clients come to me when they’re successful on paper but privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, loneliness, ambivalence about relationships, or a feeling that something important is missing. Individual therapy offers a space to slow down and understand the emotional forces driving these experiences.
Couples
Many couples come to me feeling stuck in the same fight on repeat. The argument might start over the dishes, but it ends in distance, silence, or words you can’t take back.
You may have tried to “communicate better,” but the old patterns keep returning. What you want isn’t just tips for conflict management—it’s to understand what’s getting activated between you. In therapy, we pause those heated moments and explore them together, so you and your partner can begin to truly see, hear, and respond to each other in new ways.
Families
Families carry powerful emotional legacies — some protective, some painful. You may notice repeating conflicts, generational patterns, or everyone feeling caught in roles they never chose. Grief, transition, or loss can make those patterns even sharper, bringing up conflict when connection is what’s most needed.
In family therapy we work for each person to be seen and heard, not just in their role, but as an individual with needs, fears, and hopes. By paying attention to what’s happening in the room, we begin to uncover the unspoken dynamics that keep you stuck—and open up new ways of relating to one another.
Whether you’re navigating a transition, supporting a child through difficulties, or trying to shift longstanding patterns, family therapy provides a container for every voice, even the ones hardest to hear.

Weekly Process Groups
You may excel in your career but feel less equipped in the emotional and relational parts of life. In a Modern Analytic Process Group, the room itself becomes the therapeutic engine. You’ll have the opportunity to explore how you relate, where you hold back, and what makes it hard to fully express yourself. The group offers a rare combination of honest feedback, emotional resonance, and relational learning that you simply cannot access in individual therapy alone.
These groups use the here-and-now to surface emotional truths that are often hidden in day-to-day life. Members learn not only from their own experiences, but from how others respond, react, connect, or withdraw — offering unparalleled clarity about how they operate in relationships. Over time, you may develop greater authenticity, increased emotional range, more fulfilling relationships, and a deeper understanding of your impact on others and yourself.
