I currently have daytime availability. As an experienced therapist, I begin with where you are. My initial goal is to build a trusting relationship and create space to explore the challenges you are experiencing. I view myself as a scientist—listening, examining, observing, and asking the questions needed to create a plan. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them meet their goals and live their best lives.

If you are ready to change the way you respond to anxiety and stress, you're in the right place. I work with clients seeking long-term lifestyle changes in the way they approach uncertainty in life, being stuck in thought loops, and obsessive thinking and compulsions. In our work together, we address anxiety and depression, OCD, and/or other mental health concerns through introspection & outward action. We work together in developing insight & creative exploration of self while taking actionable steps to rebuild trust in yourself. You can learn to meet your needs & live through your values, not your fears.

Tired of obsessing over your weight or appearance? Feel like a failure when you gain weight? It's exhausting when how you feel is determined by the number on the scale. If you're a parent, it's so stressful when your kids are struggling with food or body image and you feel conflicted about your own body. Maybe that critical inner voice is louder than ever and getting in the way of you living your life. Working together, we can turn down the volume on your self-criticism.

There's a reason for all of the problems and challenges in life, and the reason is not that there's something fundamentally wrong with you (or any of us). Really. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, imposter and other difficult feelings, career struggles, and interpersonal challenges, and with couples contending with unresolved conflict, breakdown of trust, dissatisfaction, or feeling stuck in their relationships. I work with people who have hit rock bottom and those that are ok and have just realized they want more. We all have room to grow and to figure out how to build the lives we want.

My background as a family therapist means that I am trained to look at problems within a relational framework, whether that be between people, social systems, or the varied components of self within a single individual. The longer I practice, the more I believe that suffering and symptoms arise when we are disconnected from these relationships; disconnected from our bodies, from our emotions, from our needs, from our communities, and from others…

I believe in treating the underlying issues, not only the symptoms; and that supporting clients in gaining deeper self-awareness helps them understand those symptoms. My aim as your therapist is to provide a safe, judgment-free space; and in that space to validate, cheerlead, and challenge you. Most importantly, I'm here to walk through difficult times by your side, and to empower you for when you must walk alone.

Finding a therapist who fits for you is challenging; you are not just seeking a service, you are starting a relationship. This can seem like a frightening proposition; but it is also an opportunity! Rarely in life do you enter a relationship with the expectation that you will need to be vulnerable or that you will be able to explore the dynamics of how you interact with the other person directly and frankly. Clients who are interested in exploring these dynamics or in learning strategies to cope with the challenges of day-to-day life are the ones who benefit most from my therapeutic approach.

This is why I specialize in evidence-based treatments including Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 1), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and will recommend the modality that is best suited to your needs (more on each below).

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.
