I became a psychotherapist in midlife. I’ve also worked as an activist, a full-time parent, and an attorney — all experiences that enrich my approach to therapy.

Whether you are in crisis or are just looking to connect with your authentic self, I am here for you. I believe in my clients, and I believe that psychotherapy can change lives.

I often work with women, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent folks, but I warmly welcome clients of all identities. I have deep empathy for people who feel like outsiders in one way or another, and who are struggling to stay true to themselves as they navigate demanding jobs, relationships, parenting, life transitions, existential grief, and surviving these destabilizing times.

None of us can do it all alone. Whether you opt to work with me or another provider, I encourage you to reach out — you deserve support.
