If you wake up and dread having to start your day - let's talk. Whether it is work, school, home or even your relationships, life seems to keep throwing you challenges that you don't want or know how to manage. It's starting to feel like you're stuck in a never-ending pattern, caught in cycles of behavior that we know aren't healthy or good for us. How is it that we can be so aware and feel so powerless at the same time? What if I told you it’s not your fault? That the brain is wired that way for an important reason?
As your therapist, my mission is to help you recognize, understand, and challenge the behaviors that no longer serve you and work on new evidence-based strategies that do. With nearly a decade of experience in neuroscience and physiology research, I'm here to help you bridge the gap between your mind, brain and body so we can put your self-awareness to use.
Whether you want to figure out your relationship, re-balance your life, take control of your emotions, or stand against your inner critic, breaking free from this cycle will allow you to finally live the life that you want to be living. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, email me to set up a free consultation.

Although I like to bring science and evidence-based practices into our sessions, my most important focus is still you and making sure that you feel safe and heard. When we're not working on new skills, I'm trying to get to know you as a unique individual so that I can recommend the right treatment.

The foundation of my therapeutic approach is relational and humanistic. That means I want to get to know how you see yourself and your place in this world. We'll then identify goals that align with your values and develop coping strategies that build upon your strengths. I can also teach you new skills to help manage the challenges in your life.
