Are you struggling with disconnection, loneliness, depression or anxiety. In an age of mass social media. In a time that is considered the most socially connected. Research shows that people actually feel more lonely than ever, disconnected and lost. Do you feel anxiety that is keeping you from following your dreams and holding you back? You do not have to go through this struggle alone. Therapy is a great way to work on you and becoming the best version of yourself. I would love to help you start that journey and walk through it with you.

You are you, and nobody understands this as deeply as you. I approach our work from a humanistic, person-centered foundation that helps guide your innate strengths to discover, or re-discover, your authentic self. For some, therapy might look like a winding journey. For others, a direct path. Or it may be a mixture of both. I’m a relational therapist and believe that the fostering of a trusting alliance between us is essential to the realization of your unique goals of change and growth. I don’t believe that a “blank slate” therapist is a helpful one. I am human just like you.

It is my belief and the foundation of my practice that humans have an innate propensity towards growth. Inevitably though, we come across obstacles and difficult situations blocking us from reaching our full potential. It is my goal as a therapist to help clients identify these roadblocks through careful exploration of the self, and overcome them in order to reach our full potential. We have no “rule book” for life, but therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner and outer worlds, and learn evidence based tools to grow and live a fulfilling life.

I work with couples and individuals in couples counseling and psychotherapy. My approach is collaborative, interactive, engaged, to be "in it with you."

My theoretical approach varies deriving from several psychoanalytic schools of thought as well as cognitive-behavioral theory. Cognitive work assists clients in finding adaptive ways of perceiving themselves, others, and circumstances. Behavioral interventions involve the teaching of skills needed for effective coping, communication, self-care, and symptom relief. I aim to create a safe professional environment to render individualized care to my clients and their specific needs.

I work with clients seeking growth, integration and change in how they experience their lives, both past and present. When a painful event or memories influence how we interpret our lives, we can often find ourselves stuck in patterns of avoiding, numbing, overworking, obsessing, etc. Despite our best efforts to push through, we start getting signals that something is off and that a deeper issue could be the cause. These signals can present as any range of symptoms (ie anxiety, depression, irritability) or relational difficulties, that sometimes gently, and often times urgently, tell us that we need care.
