about therapy.

I help burnt out high achievers, teens, and couples reconnect to themselves, each other, and what matters.

For the adult high-achievers running on empty: You feel like you have been running a marathon for years, and you’re not sure how to pause, slow down, and reconnect with your authentic self. On paper, you have the resume and achievements. But inside, you feel depleted. You can’t remember what it feels like to do something for the sake of joy, rather than for productivity. I get it because I’ve been there. As a leadership consultant who has spent years inside high-performance and high-pressure environments myself, I recognize the patterns from the inside.

For the overwhelmed teens & their parents: You feel so much pressure to succeed. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by what happens after high school, stressed by the relentless pressure of tests, academics, and APs. You want to achieve your goals, but along the way you’ve noticed it’s hard to relax, calm down, or stop the anxious thoughts.

For the couples stuck in a cycle: You feel like you keep having the same argument, and you aren’t sure how to shift the dynamic or pattern. You may be cycling through feelings of connection and disconnection with your partner, maybe you’ve navigated a big life transition that’s impacted intimacy like new parenthood, career changes, or maybe you’re just feeling exhausted and disconnected from repeated stress.

Jewish Identity: I also work to provide culturally responsive therapy for the Jewish community. If you’re looking for a therapist who gets Jewish culture and brings a bit of chutzpah to therapy, I am committed to creating a safe space.

Therapy is a space to explore what’s beneath the surface and reconnect with a relationship, life, or story that feels authentic, alive, and fulfilling.
