Areas of Focus
Every person who walks through this door brings their own story. What I bring is 23 years of clinical experience, a deep commitment to understanding your specific world, and the honesty to help you navigate it.
If you see yourself in any of the areas below, it is worth exploring. I will be honest with you about whether I am the right fit. And if I am not, I will help you find someone who is.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural human response to stress or perceived threats, characterized by feelings of fear, unease, and worry. It can manifest as physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, and trembling, as well as emotional and cognitive symptoms such as racing thoughts and difficulty concentrating.
High-Achieving Professionals & Leaders
Success at a high level rarely solves the problems it creates. The executive who has built an extraordinary career and cannot explain why it still does not feel like enough. The attorney who holds enormous responsibility at work and is losing ground at home. The physician who spends their days caring for others and has no practice for caring for themselves. The entrepreneur who is always on to the next thing because stopping feels more dangerous than moving.
These are not clinical failures. They are the predictable consequences of sustained high performance without sustained inner attention. I work with people who have achieved at a significant level — across industries, backgrounds, and life circumstances — and are ready to bring that same rigor to understanding themselves.
The goal is not to disrupt what is working. It is to build a life that is as rich on the inside as it appears from the outside.
Couples & Relationships
Relationship issues do not arise because two people are incompatible. They arise because the conditions of a full life — careers, children, family expectations, cultural differences, financial stress, grief, ambition — create distance that compounds quietly until it becomes difficult to close.
I work with couples of all backgrounds and configurations. Dual-career couples who are achieving everything professionally and losing each other in the process. Couples navigating cultural differences or differing family expectations. Couples in the middle of a crisis and couples who simply know they are capable of something more honest and more connected than what they currently have.
Effective communication, genuine empathy, and a willingness to understand each other's world are at the center of this work. I will help you develop the tools to build the relationship you both actually want — and I will be direct with you when the patterns in the room are getting in the way of that.
Depression
Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can affect a person's thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being, requiring professional support and treatment to help individuals navigate through it.
Cultural Identity & The Complexity of Belonging
Identity is not a side issue in therapy — it is often the center of it. The expectations placed on you, the communities you belong to, the worlds you move between, the versions of yourself you perform in different rooms — these are not separate from your psychology. They are your psychology.
I work with people navigating complex and often layered identities: immigrants and first-generation Americans holding the weight of family legacy alongside their own ambitions; professionals operating in spaces that were not designed with them in mind; people reconciling cultural inheritance with personal autonomy; those managing the particular pressures of wealth, legacy, and what gets passed down — and what gets lost in the passing; individuals facing succession and transition, where the question of what comes next is inseparable from the question of who you are; and people whose most significant relationships — marriages, partnerships, families, professional bonds — carry stakes high enough to make vulnerability feel dangerous.
What these experiences share is the weight of holding multiple truths at once — about who you are, who you are expected to be, and who you are still becoming. That is not a problem to be solved quickly. It is the work. And it is work I take seriously from the first conversation.
Perinatal Mental Health & The Experience of Parenthood
Postpartum depression is one of the most common — and most under-discussed — mental health experiences in the world. It affects mothers and fathers. It can begin during pregnancy or emerge weeks or months after delivery. And it is far more than sadness: it can show up as anxiety, disconnection, rage, numbness, intrusive thoughts, or simply the persistent sense that something is profoundly wrong, even when everything looks fine from the outside.
I work with individuals and couples navigating the perinatal period — during pregnancy, in the immediate postpartum months, and in the longer transition into family life that no one fully prepares you for. I hold this work with the clinical seriousness it deserves and the personal understanding that comes from having navigated partnership and parenthood myself.
This includes new mothers struggling to feel connected to themselves or their babies. New fathers who expected to feel one way and feel something else entirely — and have no language for it, and no one asking. Couples whose relationship has shifted in ways they did not anticipate and are not sure how to navigate together. Parents of any background, any configuration, facing the particular and irreversible transformation of having a child.
If you are in this moment — or approaching it — it is worth exploring what support could look like. You do not have to manage this alone, and you do not have to be in crisis for this work to matter.
If I do not believe I have the experience and competence to work with what you are bringing, I will be honest with you about that — and I will help you find a clinician who does.
Men & Emotional Intelligence
Men's issues encompass more than most conversations about masculinity are willing to hold. The expectations — to perform, to provide, to manage, to appear unaffected — are real, and they carry a real cost. Most men I work with are not struggling because they are weak. They are struggling because they have been managing at a level that leaves no room for the inner life.
I work with men from every background who are ready to close that gap. Not by abandoning their strengths, but by expanding what those strengths can look like — in their relationships, their leadership, their sense of self, and their ability to be present for the people who matter to them.
This is some of the most meaningful work I do. And in my experience, it is the work that changes not just the individual, but everyone around him.
Life Transitions & Identity
Life transitions are some of the most psychologically significant events a person moves through — and they do not always announce themselves as crises. Sometimes they arrive as restlessness, or a quiet sense that what you have built no longer fits the person you are becoming.
I work with people in the middle of transitions of consequence: executives stepping into or out of leadership, founders navigating the identity loss that can follow an exit, individuals inheriting wealth or responsibility they did not ask for and are not sure how to carry. Divorce and the reorganization of family life. The loss of a parent — and everything that surfaces in its wake about legacy, mortality, and what you were never able to say. Geographic relocation, retirement, and the particular disorientation of succeeding beyond what you once imagined, only to find that arrival feels different than expected.
The transition into parenthood belongs here too — and it is one of the least adequately supported. The arrival of a child reorganizes everything: partnership, identity, career, desire, and one's entire sense of what matters. For many people, it surfaces things that were there long before the baby arrived. I work with new and expectant parents navigating this terrain, including those experiencing postpartum depression, perinatal anxiety, and the particular experience of loving something so completely while feeling, at times, entirely lost.
What these transitions share is that they are not just logistical changes. They are identity events. They require not just coping, but a renegotiation of how you live and what you are building toward. Sometimes the most important thing we can do together is make space for what is actually happening — before we figure out what comes next.
