About

What would it feel like to stop scanning for the next thing that could go wrong? Many people who reach me cannot remember the last time their shoulders dropped away from their ears. I began in research, and I left the lab because I wanted to sit with actual people instead of datasets. My practice centers on anxiety and the way it quietly rearranges a whole life around avoiding discomfort. I also focus on women's issues, from perfectionism to the constant obligation to hold everything together for everyone else. I know I may not be the obvious choice, and I take seriously what it asks of a woman to sit across from me. That trust is something I work to deserve in every single session. Sessions with me are steady and even. We name what is actually happening, then decide together what you want to do about it. If any of this sounds familiar, reach out, and we can figure out whether we are a good fit.
