Specialties

Many of my clients are people who have spent years being the one others rely on. They are good at holding things together — whether in a boardroom, a courtroom, a hospital, a classroom, or at home. They have learned to perform competence so fluently that the people around them rarely notice when they are struggling. They come to therapy not because they have fallen apart, but because they are tired of holding themselves together alone.

The particular weight of high achievement is that it is often invisible. Success can insulate you from support — people assume you are fine because you appear fine, because your life looks fine from the outside. Therapy offers something that achievement cannot: a relationship where you don't have to perform anything.

I understand the specific texture of this kind of life. I know this world from the inside — I spent over 22 years practicing law before becoming a therapist. I know what it means to operate at a high level, to be relied upon, and to feel most alone in the rooms where you appear most capable — to be exhausted, uncertain, grieving, or quietly wondering what any of it is for, while the world around you sees only someone who has it together.

What brings lawyers, physicians, executives & professionals to therapy

• Burnout that rest doesn't fix
• Success that feels hollow or disconnected from meaning
• Difficulty accessing or expressing emotion
• Relationships suffering under the weight of professional demands
• A major transition — career change, retirement, loss of identity
• Grief that has been deferred by staying busy
• The quiet sense that something important is missing

Grief is something we all experience eventually — and it takes an extraordinary amount of emotional, physical, and spiritual energy. Yet our culture treats grief as a temporary detour, something to manage and move through on the way back to normal life. This leaves grievers feeling alone, invalidated, and invisible. It often compounds the pain rather than easing it.

If people around you are saying it's time to "move on" — if you feel unseen in your grief, unable to express what you're truly carrying — you are not alone, and you are not wrong for still feeling it.

I will be your companion on your grief journey, witnessing your experience with non-judgment and compassion. I will never push you to find the silver lining. Instead, we will work together to build your strength — so that you can carry your grief as an integrated part of your human experience, rather than something to hide or overcome.

I also work with clients navigating grief that isn't always recognized or named — the anticipatory grief of watching someone you love decline, the grief of losing a relationship, a career, or a version of yourself, the quiet mourning of a world changing faster than we can bear, and grief that others don't always validate because the loss itself isn't one society has learned to recognize. Whatever you are grieving, it belongs here.

What might bring you here

• The death of someone you love
• Anticipatory grief — watching someone decline
• Grief others don't always recognize or validate
• Loss of a relationship, career, or identity
• Ecological grief — mourning a changing world
• Feeling stuck, alone, or invisible in your grief
• Grief that has been deferred or buried
• The pressure to "move on" before you're ready

Grief work can take place within individual, couples, or family sessions. Learn more about how I work.

Questions about identity can arise at any age or stage of life — and they rarely arrive alone. They often come tangled with grief, with a sense of something missing, or with the quiet but persistent feeling that the life you're living doesn't quite fit the person you actually are.

I work with clients navigating a wide range of identity questions — including neurodivergent identity (ADHD, autism, giftedness, and sensory processing differences, including late identification), sexual and gender identity, and the broader work of understanding who you are and who you want to become.

What I bring to this work is a deep belief that you are the expert of your own experience — that the wisdom and resources you need already exist within you. My job is to help you access them. Together we will make sense of what you are feeling, explore the parts of you that have been waiting to be seen, and find your way toward a life that feels more fully yours.

What might bring you here

• Neurodivergent identity — ADHD, autism, giftedness, sensory processing differences
• Late identification as neurodivergent
• Sexual identity and coming out
• Gender identity and transition
• Feeling disconnected from yourself or unable to connect with others
• A sense that something important is missing
• The feeling that the life you're living doesn't quite fit
• Identity shifts during major life transitions
