About Antoinette

You might be a doctor, a lawyer, or even a therapist, and you have worked hard for the success you have achieved. You know how to spend long days and nights working toward your goals and sacrificing to achieve them. But no one sees the bouts of depression, one too many glasses of wine at night, or the rapid heart rate and racing thoughts that are making it difficult to sleep.

For more than 30 years, I have worked as a psychotherapist, supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, heal from past experiences, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. My work is grounded in relational psychotherapy, which recognizes that healing happens through meaningful, authentic connection. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful part of the healing process—a place where you can feel seen, understood, and accepted while exploring the experiences and patterns that may be affecting your life today.

I work with professionals from many walks of life, including physicians, lawyers, professors, teachers, executives, and CEOs. Many of the people I work with are accustomed to being the ones others depend on, and may find it difficult to make room for their own needs. Therapy offers an opportunity to step out of that role and attend to the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked.

When I sit with you, I work with a gentle tenacity: I’m careful with difficult places and emotions, and I also don’t ignore what’s really causing distress. I check in often about how our work is feeling to you. Together, we create a space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, deepen your understanding of yourself, and begin to make meaningful changes.
