I specialize in high functioning adults who find themselves suffering in their interpersonal relationships. High functioning on the Outside, Struggling on the Inside
Many of the people I work with are accomplished professionals—attorneys, executives, physicians, entrepreneurs—as well as artists and creative thinkers. They are admired for their success, yet behind closed doors life feels different.
They often describe:
Anticipating others’ needs or keeping the peace
Struggling to say “no” without guilt
Feeling drained, resentful, or invisible in relationships
Wondering if connection would remain without over-giving
These patterns are not weakness. They are strategies that once brought safety and belonging. Over time, they can become stifling, leaving you depleted and unseen.
Why Therapy Helps
Caring deeply is a strength. But when worth depends on being needed, relationships lose balance. Therapy offers space to:
Practice setting boundaries without fear of losing connection
Recognize and voice your own needs
Build relationships grounded in honesty, not performance
This work is not about selfishness. It is about discovering that you matter as much as those you care for.
My Approach
With years of clinical experience and advanced training in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), I work with adults who want their inner lives to feel as meaningful as their outer accomplishments. Together we notice the patterns that repeat and open space for new ways of relating.
Clients often find this restorative. They feel more at ease with closeness, clearer in their boundaries, and more anchored in themselves. Whether navigating professional demands or the complexities of a creative life, therapy is a place where you can be valued for who you are—not only for what you provide.
