Psychotherapy for people who want to belong without losing themselves.
So much of what we call psychological health is measured by how well we adapt—to relationships, families, institutions, and the expectations of other people. But adaptation can come at a cost.
I'm interested in that cost.
I'm a relational psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience working with people whose needs, desires, identities, and ways of being don't always fit comfortably into what's expected of them.
My work is informed by psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and neurodiversity-affirming practice, with particular attention to autonomy: our capacity to know what we want, make choices, set limits, and remain ourselves in relationship.
I work with individuals, couples and families navigating intimacy, neurodivergence, identity, and the complicated business of being a person among other people.
