Who do you work with?
I specialize in high-achieving, ambitious women navigating anxious attachment and chronic relational activation. Many clients are executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, attorneys, or advanced-degree professionals seeking structured support in relationships.

 

What issues do you treat?
Typical challenges include:

• Anxious attachment and relational hyperactivation

• Relationship anxiety and over-functioning

• Fear of abandonment or difficulty maintaining boundaries

• Recurring cycles with misaligned or inconsistent partners

• Difficulty walking away from relationships that feel unsafe or draining

 

What is anxious attachment?
Anxious attachment is a learned relational pattern in which fear of disconnection drives behavior. In high-functioning women, it often appears as:

• Overanalyzing communication

• Accepting repeated “breaks” or inconsistency

• Minimizing your own needs

• Feeling secure only with constant reassurance

It is not a flaw — it is a nervous system pattern that can be reshaped through structured therapy and relational repatterning.

 

How is your approach different?
Many therapists address anxiety at a surface level. My work addresses its relational and physiological roots, integrating:

• Attachment-informed therapy

• Anxiety treatment strategies

• Nervous system regulation

• Boundary development

• Pattern interruption

• Insight-oriented, practical feedback

 

This is structured, transformative psychotherapy — not a space just to vent.

 

Do you only work with women?
Primarily, yes. This practice focuses on ambitious women navigating anxious attachment. Fit is clarified during the consultation.

 

Why do high-achieving women struggle in relationships?
Professional success rewards control, performance, and competence.
Secure attachment requires vulnerability, mutuality, and emotional regulation.

 

High achievement can mask relational anxiety — but it does not prevent it. This gap is common and treatable.

 

How long does therapy take?
Length varies by goals and patterns. Attachment-focused therapy is deeper than short-term symptom management. Many clients notice shifts within a few months, with sustained relational transformation developing over time. Goals are periodically reassessed to ensure measurable progress.

 

Fees & Insurance

This is primarily a private-pay practice.

I maintain a limited caseload to ensure depth, precision, and individualized care.

I also accept two select insurance plans. Availability is limited, and eligibility can be verified during consultation.

 

Private pay offers:

• Greater privacy and discretion

• Flexibility without mandated diagnosis

• Focus on depth and transformation, not checklists

 

Individual Therapy:
50-minute sessions, typically weekly at the start of treatment to establish momentum.

 

Relationship Anxiety Intensives:

• 2-Hour Intensive: Designed for accelerated clarity on attachment patterns or recurring cycles

• 4-Hour Intensive: Comprehensive exploration and recalibration of relational dynamics

 

Therapy is an investment — in your relationships, emotional regulation, and personal growth.

 

What to expect in the first session:

• Relational history review

• Identification of patterns

• Goal clarification

• Attachment assessment

• Determination of clinical fit

 

No preparation is needed — simply bring yourself as you are.

 

Not sure you’re ready?
Uncertainty is normal, especially if you are used to handling challenges independently. If repeated relational patterns leave you anxious, drained, or settling for less than you want, structured work may be the next step.

 

Next Step

The first step is a consultation. During this conversation, we will:

• Review what brings you here

• Clarify goals

• Determine clinical alignment

• Outline next steps

 

If the fit is right, we will schedule your first session.
