A Little About Me

Life in high-pressure environments — demanding jobs, life transitions, and complex relationships — can leave you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. I work with individuals and couples who want a clearer understanding of the patterns shaping their lives. My style is relational, direct, and insight-driven: we slow things down, look at what’s happening in the moment, and explore new possibilities together at a pace that feels right for you.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in tech and finance, which gives me a unique perspective on the complexity of demanding careers and corporate culture. I work with many working professionals navigating challenges around work–life balance, career transitions, and communication issues.

I don't push quick fixes or cookie-cutter solutions. Instead, we develop a pace that supports clarity, emotional safety, and deeper understanding, allowing change to emerge naturally from insight and awareness. Our work centers on your lived experience, your goals, and the dynamics that shape your relationships. If career strain is impacting your bond or conflicts feel stuck on repeat, we’ll slow things down, build insight, and support more honest, connected ways of engaging.
