As a former collegiate athlete, I love working with older adolescents and young adults around identity and anxiety. I also enjoy working with couples around infidelity and communication, and with adult children and their parents. I work well with clients who are interested in learning why they think and act the way that they do, and are interested in learning how to have more agency in their lives. I believe that our relationships influence how people view, conceptualize, and behave in the world, and that having insight into how our relationships affect us can lead to our own behavior change.

Have you ever felt sad, angry, irritated, anxious, or down? Do you have difficulty sleeping, completing tasks, or enjoying activities? Is your son or daughter struggling in school, following rules at home, or having behavioral problems? Are there relationships in your life you would like to improve? Maybe nothing is wrong, but you would like to improve something in your life? If you answered yes to any of these questions or are having other difficulties in your life, you are not alone. Many people experience troubling events, thoughts, and feelings at some point in life.

**Not currently accepting new clients** I’m a big believer that therapy doesn’t have to be buttoned-up or artificial. It should be comfortable and real.
