Many people come to therapy feeling caught in patterns they understand intellectually but cannot seem to shift emotionally. They are often thoughtful, capable, and used to managing life well on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed.

I’m a clinical psychologist with more than seventeen years of experience, specializing in women’s mental health. My work focuses on the deeper emotional patterns that shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and our sense of safety in the world.

Many of the concerns I work with, including anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional disconnection, and relationship difficulties, are often protective patterns that develop in response to emotional pain, uncertainty, or loss. These patterns often once made sense in the context they developed in. In therapy, we begin to understand them with compassion rather than judgment, while creating space for something different to emerge.

My approach focuses on emotional experience as it unfolds in the therapy room and in your internal world. We pay attention to moments of vulnerability, protection, shame, longing, and disconnection, and what it is like to experience those feelings in relationship rather than alone.

Over time, therapy can become a place where experiences that once felt overwhelming or isolating begin to feel more organized, more tolerable, and less alone.

I also work extensively with women navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, pregnancy loss, and birth trauma. These experiences can profoundly shape identity, relationships, and emotional life, and they deserve careful, steady, and attuned care.
