A Real Person (And a Creative Mind) in the Room Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re worried about sitting across from a rigid, silent face who just nods and takes notes. That isn't how I work. When you step into my office, you can expect an active, engaged, and genuinely human experience. I bring my whole self into the room—which means our sessions feel like a real conversation. Because I operate with a creative, entrepreneurial background, I don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. I enjoy thinking outside the box to help you look at old problems through an entirely new lens. I am here to provide a safe, grounded space where you can let your guard down, but I am also here to actively collaborate, offer honest insights, and color outside the lines when traditional approaches fall short. Who I Work With Best I thrive when working with individuals, creatives, and professionals who are ready for deep, meaningful change, even if it feels terrifying at first. My practice focuses heavily on: Individuals Navigating Personality Disorders: Providing structured, highly compassionate, and non-traditional care for those living with complex interpersonal and emotional patterns. High-Achieving Professionals, Executives, & Creatives: Overcoming intense burnout, creative blocks, chronic stress, and perfectionism. Children & Pre-Teens (Ages 3+): Creating an imaginative, safe, and intentional space for kids to process big emotions and build regulation through play. Active, Dynamic Collaboration—Not Just a Sounding Board My therapeutic style is rooted in an integrative, Relational Psychodynamic, and Person-Centered approach. This means we don’t just talk about your week; we actively look at the deeper root patterns, relationship dynamics, and behaviors that are keeping you feeling stuck. I view therapy as a collaborative canvas where we work together to untangle what isn't working. For Personality Disorders & Complex Dynamics: I provide a steady, secure relationship where we can safely explore emotional instability, identity, and relational struggles. My approach blends clinical structure with creative, outside-the-box perspective shifts, giving you practical tools to build emotional regulation and meaningful connections. For Children: I utilize Child-Centered Play Therapy. Because play is a child's natural language and ultimate creative outlet, I use a specialized play environment to help kids express and process what they can't quite put into traditional words yet. What a Session Feels Like You can expect a session that feels steady, warm, and entirely non-judgmental—but also deeply honest and dynamic. I believe that true healing requires growth, and growth sometimes requires a gentle, authentic nudge. I am here to walk right alongside you, offering a calm anchor while keeping it entirely real every step of the way. My Areas of Focus Personality Disorders & Complex Interpersonal Dynamics: Specialized, relational support to help individuals understand deep-seated emotional patterns, stabilize moods, and build healthier relationships. Corporate & Creative Burnout: Guiding high-performers, builders, and creatives through chronic exhaustion, imposter syndrome, and finding an identity outside of work achievement. Childhood Anxiety & Behavioral Regulation: Utilizing intentional, creative play therapy to help children process fears, build distress tolerance, and thrive. Parenting Support & Collaboration: Partnering with parents to provide developmental insights and imaginative emotional regulation tools to strengthen the family unit. Outside the Office When I’m not in the office, I’m usually intentionally resetting, slowing down, and fueling my own creative drive. I love spending quality time with my family, finding quiet moments out in nature, catching up on reading, and getting lost in a good movie. I also have a deep appreciation for creative photography and visual storytelling. Feedback I Often Hear The feedback I receive most from my clients is that I am remarkably real, honest, and innovative in how I approach their problems. They share that I bring a calm, steady presence to their heaviest moments, but that I am also entirely authentic, willing to think outside the box, and ready to gently push them when it’s necessary for their growth. You don’t have to carry the weight of burnout, complex relationship patterns, or emotional exhaustion by yourself. If you are looking for a therapist who will truly roll up their sleeves, bring a fresh perspective, and work through it with you, I am here.
