Experience,discretion,and continuity.Experience, discretion, and continuity.

I work with people whose difficulties are rarely explained by a single symptom or diagnosis.

Many of my clients have considerable insight, capability, and outward success, yet continue to encounter patterns that are difficult to change alone. These patterns may emerge in relationships, identity, emotional regulation, decision-making, or the private strain of carrying significant responsibility. They are often the situations in which a standardized approach begins to feel too narrow.

My work is grounded in mentalization: the capacity to understand what may be happening within ourselves and between us, particularly when emotion, conflict, or uncertainty makes clear thinking more difficult. Treatment is active, direct, and collaborative. I ask questions, offer thoughtful challenge, and pay close attention to the patterns taking shape both within and beyond the therapy room.

The aim is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to strengthen the capacity to remain reflective, flexible, and intentional when the stakes are highest.

I hold advanced training in Mentalization-Based Treatment for adults, adolescents, children, and families, as well as Adaptive Mentalization-Based Integrative Treatment for complex systems and multidisciplinary care. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming, and informed by complementary evidence-based approaches selected according to the needs of the individual or family.

Over the past decade, I have worked across residential treatment, community-based programs, multidisciplinary practices, and private care. I have served as a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, organizational leader, and therapeutic mentor. That breadth continues to shape how I understand individuals, families, and the systems surrounding them.

In addition to direct clinical care, I supervise clinicians, consult on complex cases, and speak and write on Mentalization-Based Treatment, personality development, LGBTQIA+ mental health, rejection sensitivity, and relational complexity.

At the center of every engagement is a simple principle: meaningful change becomes possible when we can think more clearly about ourselves and one another.
