About

Relationship-focused: The work begins with your relationship to yourself. When that shifts, everything shifts. I meet you with curiosity, without judgment, and with full presence.

Evidence-based: I integrate EMDR for trauma reprocessing, DBT for emotional regulation, IFS for internal systems work, CBT for thought patterns, and somatic practices that honor the body's wisdom.

Meaning-making and spiritual exploration: Therapy isn't just about symptom reduction—it's about understanding who you are and how you want to live. I honor the spiritual dimension of healing.

Flexible format: I see clients in person in Darien or Westport, or via secure telehealth from anywhere in Connecticut.

I spent 20 years in corporate technology—successful, externally, but eventually realizing that success without meaning is hollow. That realization led me into deep personal and philosophical exploration, seminary, and a genuine reckoning with what matters.

Four years at Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan shaped my clinical foundation. I worked directly with individuals struggling with complex psychiatric conditions, trauma, and substance use disorders. That experience showed me the depth of human resilience and the transformative power of authentic clinical work.

More recently, I've trained in trauma therapy—including a trip to Ukraine during the war to deepen my understanding of how trauma lives in communities. That work reinforced something I believe fiercely: therapy is not just clinical, it's political. I have a fierce advocacy side about patients denied medically necessary care, and I bring that conviction into every session.

Life rarely follows a straight line. That's the foundation of how I work with you.

This is collaborative work. I'm not here to fix you—no one needs fixing. I'm here to understand you, to help you understand yourself, and to create the conditions where change can happen naturally.

We meet you where you are. If you're in crisis, we stabilize. If you're in growth, we deepen. If you're in meaning-making, we explore. The work is about connection, alignment, and finding what feels right for you.
