When I was a kid, I hosted a radio show called “Why Are Things Like This?” Armed with a tape recorder and relentless curiosity, I interviewed stuffed animals, family members, friends…really anyone willing to be questioned by an earnest child determined to understand the world. While I did eventually stop interviewing my stuffed animals, that question has remained a core part of the work I’ve done throughout my career.

I bring a playful curiosity into my work as a therapist. My clinical style is relational, grounded in authenticity and deep care. I see therapy as a collaborative process, one that is energizing, attuned, and responsive to what you most need. I’m a fierce believer in self-compassion. Former clients often tell me they still hear my voice gently, and sometimes firmly, telling their inner critic and shame to take a hike.
