A place to become more fully yourself, in all life’s messiness and nuance.
Therapy for thoughtful, empathic women navigating lives that don't come with instructions.
I bet you’re really good at holding it together. And really good at understanding other people. Good at anticipating what they need. Good at being capable, responsible, adaptable.
I bet you’re also exhausted.
And maybe a bit anxious. Maybe you're burned out. Maybe you've lost touch with what you actually want somewhere along the way. Maybe your life has taken an unexpected turn and you're not sure who you are in it anymore.
Or maybe you've simply realized that the version of the “good life” you were handed doesn't fit you very well.
That's not necessarily a problem to fix.
It might be something worth getting curious about.
You don't have to fit neatly into a category.
I work with people who feel deeply, think deeply, and realize they have been told, explicitly or otherwise, that they need to be less complicated.
My clients are often navigating anxiety, careers in helping professions, identity and life transitions, grief, chronic illness, life abroad, burnout, or a life that simply doesn't look the way they expected it to.
These situations aren’t all that dissimilar.
They're different experiences with the same questions:
Who am I? What do I actually want? How can I make meaning out of these experiences? And how do I build a life that feels like mine?

Therapy that makes space for all of you.
I'm less interested in fitting you into a particular diagnosis or protocol than in understanding you.
We'll explore what's happening now, but also the deeper patterns underneath it, like your relationships, your history, your body, your values, your contradictions, and the things you may not have words for yet.
I'll ask questions. I'll offer reframes. Sometimes I'll push back.
And sometimes we'll laugh, because life is both profoundly meaningful and silly.
My goal isn't to help you become a better version of who you're supposed to be. It's to help you become more fully yourself.
I'm a therapist originally from Philadelphia, now an expat living in Paris, and someone who has spent a fair amount of time figuring out how to build a life that wasn't exactly the one I was supposed to build.
I know something about being sensitive in a culture that rewards being easy. About questioning the path you're on. About grief changing the entire landscape of your life.
Those experiences have shaped the way I listen and show up with my clients.
I particularly love working with people who don't fit neatly into the usual categories, like the ones who feel deeply, notice everything, and have somehow ended up believing those qualities are problems to solve. Who have a heart to serve others but haven’t figured out yet how to take care of themselves at the same time. People who realize their life doesn’t look like the way they expected it to, but want to make meaning out of it anyway. You can learn more about me here.
