About My Therapy And Counseling Approach
I imagine you are searching for a therapist because there are things you’d like to change.
I’ll help you…
- Connect the ways early family lessons play out in present day relationships
- Skillfully reprocess old wounds so the past can stay in the past
- Discover ways to stay well-connected to your best and truest Self
- Practice communication skills that help you get your needs met
- Nourish the relationship you have with yourself (the most important one!)
Life is relational- no one is meant to figure everything out— or heal— on their own. I’ll listen to you, challenge you, create space for exploration and healing, and help you make the changes you want for your life.
A modern, independent, boutique mental health and wellness practice
Therapy that is….
My Background
I spent my early adulthood searching for answers outside myself, doing whatever I could to numb the messages I was hearing from within.
That pattern led to a six-year stint in NYC working at J.P. Morgan— an externally fulfilling career that left me feeling disconnected, anxious, and unsure why my relationships were struggling or why I couldn’t fulfill the deeper parts of myself.
Fast-forward through a career pivot, healing childhood wounds through deep therapy, earning my Master’s in relational counseling, and finally learning how to connect to myself—I became a therapist, opened a practice, and never looked back.
When I’m not with clients, you can find me practicing or teaching yoga, recharging at the beach, obsessing over my dogs, or traveling with my husband (our wedding day pictured here!).
Clinical Philosophy
I believe, and research proves, that the relationship and trust you have with your therapist is the most important factor in predicting how successful therapy will be for you.
Instead of staring and nodding through our sessions, I’ll bring my humanity into the room. I’ll step alongside you so you don’t have to face challenges alone. We’ll honor where you are, notice patterns, and support you in creating the change you are looking for.
I’ve designed my boutique, independent wellness practice to prioritize personalized, flexible care in a comfortable setting, free from the constraints of larger corporate systems.
Credentials
When I became a clinician, I knew that I wanted to offer not only a safe container for clients to show up as themselves, but also well-researched tools to support you in true growth.
To this end, I’ve trained in several healing modalities that align with my view of change.
