Introduction

People often come to therapy feeling stuck — like a knot you can’t untangle. Using a relational psychoanalytic, psychodynamic approach, we’ll work together to develop a deeper understanding and fresh perspective on the experiences, relationships, and identities that have shaped who you are today. This insight helps you live more authentically and navigate life’s shifts, strains, and surprises with greater ease. Effective therapy depends on a trusting relationship — a space where you feel safe to share openly, without fear of judgment or shame. My previous career as a musical theatre writer is woven into my work as a therapist; I bring genuine curiosity, an artsy spirit, humor, and warmth to the room. I work with children, teens, and adults, with a special affinity for middle schoolers. I have experience supporting patients from diverse backgrounds, with a specialized focus on LGBTQ+ youth, artists, and those navigating life transitions and exploring their identity.
