Are you burdened by worrisome thoughts, feelings or behaviors? Are you entangled in relationship patterns that trouble you and hold you back? Therapy can provide a safe, collaborative space to share and examine your most sensitive problems. Together we can think deeply about how you've come to be who you are, including how you tend to view yourself and relate to others. My approach is compassionate and genuine, gently challenging, and sometimes humorous. Over time my patients find that change becomes possible and there is opportunity for new choices and new beginnings.

Please note I am not accepting new clients at this time. I work with women 25+ who feel overwhelmed by the demands of life. You may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, parenting, or dissatisfaction with an important relationship. Though you long for more peace and fulfillment, you feel stuck in old patterns and unable to get to the root of your unhappiness.

All of us have moments when we struggle with difficult relationships and environments. Sometimes we can manage on our own, but other times these struggles seem to point to larger issues and concerns. It's in these more difficult moments that we tend to reach for help in developing a deeper understanding of ourselves and new approaches to our daily lives. Many of my clients are women experiencing challenges with fertility, pregnancy, the postpartum and working motherhood. Students seek me out when they have anxiety and uncertainty about their pathways.

From self criticism to self compassion. An open calm curious genuine exploration No shaming, no judgment only a question: What happened? What curve balls did life sent your way?

Accepting new patients - Sometimes you make impulsive decisions because of worry or self-esteem. It is hard to concentrate and this is holding you back. You want to work with a goal-oriented nonjudgmental professional who will guide you to a place where you feel confident and in control. Mental health is more than low self-esteem. It impacts all areas of your life including focus, sleep, relationships, athletic performance, and even chronic pain or health conditions.

Is your daughter struggling with self-esteem, anxiety or depression? I work with adolescent girls and young women (15-25) to help them feel like themselves again.

Whether you (young adult) or your teen daughter are wanting a safe space to reflect on day to day challenges (friendships, dating, adjusting to college) or are looking to learn coping skills for managing overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression I am here to help.

Asking for help and pursuing therapy can be a scary and difficult thing to do. A lot of us struggle with our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and find ourselves coping and trying to manage in unhealthy ways. I believe we all strive to feel understood and validated and that is why my goal is to provide you with an empathetic and non-judgmental space so that you feel comfortable being vulnerable and authentic. I will work alongside you and help you identify your goals so that you can begin to improve your quality of life.

Sometimes things in your life may feel too hard to handle on your own. If you are tired of working with a therapist who just sits and says "uh uh", if you feel stuck, unable to heal , repair, and navigate the path to make better choices and confront what you have avoided, then my approach which has been successful for my clients over the years can help you move forward and feel healthier and happier.. Whether long standing issues or reactions to recent stressors, from our first visit, my role is that you feel welcomed, safe, and supported.

Cognitive Therapy is a model of psychotherapy whose objective is to help people identify inaccurate thought patterns and assumptions that cause anxiety or depression, and that may even affect functioning. It can be challenging to pinpoint and correct these thoughts. Nonetheless, the process of acquiring healthier, reality-based ways of perceiving and actually trying out new solutions to old problems can improve symptoms and mood considerably. In cognitive therapy, I work collaboratively with patients to help them identify and understand how perceptions can interfere with their mood and decision-making, and we work together on a plan to achieve better balance for their life.

I work from a compassionate, relational approach with clients where trust and safety allow for awareness and growth. I enjoy connecting with people and will listen to you with compassion, empathy, curiosity and respect. Perhaps you would like a space to process your feelings, understand unhealthy thinking or behavior patterns, build self-awareness or simply need a place to talk. I view therapy as a collaboration and we will work together to prioritize what you want to work on, your goals and what approach might be best for you.

Personal life transitions, relationship challenges, and school or career junctures present ideal opportunities to engage a therapist. By developing self-awareness and committing to improving outcomes in one's work and personal life, individuals often achieve far more than they'd previously imagined. As a psychologist and coach, I integrate the use of inquiry, insight, creative problem-solving, thoughtful self-reflection, hands-on "homework" assignments, and honest conversation. I will fully engage with you as a thought partner, a sounding board, and a confidential resource to help you alleviate stress and reach your potential.
