Saying how you really feel can be terrifying. I provide a warm, accepting space where you can feel both vulnerable and safe to do that. We will honor your strengths, identify your goals, and examine the thoughts & behaviors that no longer serve you. In this way, we’ll work together to help unpack the things you’ve tucked away and ultimately heal from what’s hurt you.

Relationships can be difficult to navigate, both with others and with oneself, and not having the right tools can make a difficult job even more challenging! Add to this day-to-day life events and unprocessed trauma, and it can be easy to feel like things will not get better, leaving you feeling empty and hopeless. I want to be there on your journey by holding a safe space for you, helping you process your thoughts and feelings, learning who you are and what you need, and supporting you as you learn new skills, strengthen the ones you already have, process your trauma safely, and develop and/or nurture healthy relationships.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst experienced in working with older adolescents and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems and struggles with family dynamics, mood disorders, substance abuse, college and life transition anxieties - and those helping family members with these problems. My style is warm, engaged and collaborative. While I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, my orientation is primarily psychodynamic, which means I start with the assumption that the sources of distress can be complex and often outside our immediate awareness.

A sense of belonging. Feeling seen and understood. Feeling comfortable with your actions and responses to loved ones, co-workers, and acquaintances. To make meaning of how your life has gone so far and, perhaps, find some peace within your story. Sometimes these real, human desires can feel daunting without some support... My approach is extremely genuine, compassionate, and ... real. I have many years of experience working with clients who have encountered challenges in life transitions, identity/sexuality, relationships, historical family trauma, depression/anxiety, and questioning what it means to live their truth in life.

Regrettably, I do not have openings for new clients at this time. Even the strongest person can be challenged by difficult experiences in their past or present life. Clients seek my help with self esteem, anxiety, sadness, student, professional and relationship concerns. My work involves support, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR. I'm a good match for clients seeking a warm, active therapist. I enjoy working with college and graduate students, faculty and staff. I also offer therapy to therapists doing their own work. I'm not able to work with high risk clients and I'm not credentialed for eating disorders.

Have you always been an anxious person but lately it’s getting kind of out of hand? You were able to manage it before but now it’s taking over every thought? Are you unable to do things you used to do with ease, such as fly, drive, leave the house, go to the store? Are you riddled with persistent thoughts that you find scary or unwanted, but you can’t get rid of them no matter how hard you try? Do you find that you are always fighting fires, leaving no fuel left for yourself? Are you confident in other areas but find that your relationships always seem to leave you feeling bad about yourself?

Clients present with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, and relationship issues to name a few. Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs, successes and failures. However, when one is stuck in the "downs" and the "failures" we may feel overwhelmed, anxious & depressed. Often one turns to unhealthy coping such as alcohol and drugs, eating, compulsive behaviors - shopping and exercising, isolation or avoidance. Untangling the unique threads of your life; and understanding how they affect you can be the beginning to feeling more in charge and living according to your values and desires.

From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together — the career, the partner, the family. “Anyone in my situation,” you may tell yourself, “would be thrilled with this life.” But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re simply not happy. Even with all your successes, something is still missing. And the truth is that sometimes you feel so desperate. You keep it to yourself because you don’t want to seem ungrateful, but secretly, it gnaws at you. Restless nights. Constant worry. Perpetual pain in your neck and shoulders. Fantasies of escape. It feels overwhelming.
