Associate Marriage & Family Therapist Applicant – Registration Pending | Associate Professional Clinical Counselor Applicant – Registration Pending | Supervised by Susan Frankel, LMFT #23930

My work is about helping teens, adults, and people in all types of relationships break free from cycles that no longer serve them — without shame, judgment, or limiting stereotypes.

We can work together to untangle destructive patterns and build the emotional clarity, resilience, and depth you’ve been searching for.

  • Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-sabotage, or a general sense of disconnection, therapy offers a space to slow down and reflect. I work with adults of all genders seeking to break free from limiting emotional patterns, reconnect with themselves, and move through life with greater clarity and intention. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, strengthen your emotional resilience, and support meaningful, lasting change.

  • I work with couples of all genders and relationship structures who are feeling stuck, disconnected, or in conflict. Whether you're working through issues around communication, trust, intimacy, or long-standing patterns, our work will focus on creating a more honest and secure connection. I help partners understand each other more deeply, shift out of reactive cycles, and co-create the kind of relationship they truly want - whether that’s healing, growing, or redefining the relationship altogether.

  • Adolescence can be intense, confusing, and full of pressure - from within and from the outside world. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where teens can explore their identity, emotions, relationships, and life challenges. I collaborate with both teens and their families to strengthen self-understanding, emotional regulation, and communication. My approach honors each teen's individuality while helping them develop the insight and tools they need to feel more grounded and confident.

  • Understand the roots of your behavior, break destructive cycles, and move forward with greater clarity - whether on your own, in relationships, or within your family system.

  • Explore the emotional drivers behind compulsive behaviors tied to intimacy, sexuality, work, or emotional avoidance. I support both individuals and couples working through these challenges.

  • Deepen self-awareness, strengthen your capacity for vulnerability and trust, and explore identity in the context of your relationships, family, and inner world.

  • While I work with clients of all genders, I have a particular interest in supporting men - especially those navigating relational challenges, shame, and the pressure to "have it all together." Many men have never had the space to explore their emotional lives without judgment. Therapy with me offers a space to reflect, reconnect, and grow - at your own pace, on your own terms.
