I’ve been a therapist for more than 20 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that knowing what we “should” do and actually being able to do it are two very different things.

I’m especially interested in the psychology of why we get in our own way. Why do we keep repeating patterns we know aren’t working? Why can change feel so difficult, even when we genuinely want it? And what if some of the things we call procrastination, avoidance, or “self-sabotage” actually make more sense once we understand what they’re trying to protect us from?

Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, eating and body image concerns, and feeling stuck in patterns they’re ready to understand differently.

Approach to Therapy

My style is warm, curious, direct, and often includes humor. I draw from more than two decades of clinical experience, along with training in DBT, trauma-informed care, eating disorder treatment, and behavior change. I’m not interested in simply telling you what you “should” be doing. I want to help you understand what’s getting in the way, develop practical skills, and find ways of moving forward that actually work for your life.
