Hi, I'm Hilary.

I became a therapist because I’m deeply curious about people—and I’ve done the work to know myself well.

Before this, I was an actress. Performing gave me the space to explore the full range of human emotion and experience, and that curiosity eventually led me to therapy—first as a client, then as a clinician. I loved the process of digging in, making sense of things, and seeing what could shift.

Today, I work with couples and individuals. Couples that come to see me care about each other but are struggling to connect and are often stuck in cycles of miscommunication, resentment, and emotional distance. Individuals who walk through my door are smart, reflective people who’ve tried to “think their way” out of old patterns only to find those same loops tugging again. Maybe they feel disconnected from themselves, embarrassed by the parts they hide, or tired of carrying stories that no longer fit.


Maybe you're in a relationship fighting about the dishes, but it feels like something much deeper is going on. My job is to help you uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface—so you can stop repeating the same arguments and start actually hearing each other.

Clients describe me as direct but warm, collaborative, honest, and deeply engaged. I won’t sugarcoat things, but I’ll always meet you with empathy and respect.

I use an integrative, somatic, psychodynamic, and relational approach to help you understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself or your partner, and move forward with more clarity and intention. Let’s talk about where you are and where you want to go.

What I Help With

Are you ready to dive in and make a change in your current circumstance?

I am an individual and couples therapist who creates a warm and trusting space in which we fully explore the present by identifying triggers, patterns, and the impact of past experiences on our present. Sessions with me are interactive and direct.

I believe that successful therapy is a collaborative process. 

I specialize in couples therapy, individuals navigating narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma & self neglect, shame and self criticism, addictive or numbing behaviors, high-functioning anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, intimacy, life transitions and crossroads moments.

How can you break patterns and develop a deeper understanding of who you are?
