Hello, seeking therapy is a considerable step toward self-care and designing a satisfying life. Have you asked yourself why you repeat old behavioral patterns? Have you wondered how to improve relationships with others or seek to be more effective in meeting your family and career goals? Together, we can identify your triggers and develop strategies to overcome them. Don't let past experiences hold you back from living your best life. In the context of our therapeutic relationship, we can reduce your stress reactions, and identify tools to build stronger connections with others.

Most of my clients are insightful, high achieving young adults who excel in their academic/professional lives, but struggle in their personal lives. They often come to me seeking strategies to overcome anxiety and stress, harsh critical thoughts, perfectionism, obsessive thoughts, and self-doubt. My therapy style is focused on helping my clients gain genuine happiness, more purpose and life fulfillment, confidence, and closer relationships. I hold a modern view of mental health treatment: one that is non-judgmental, warm, humorous, and most importantly, goal directed.

I provide psychotherapy for adolescents, college students, and adults; and I have over 20 years of experience working in clinical & academic settings. I address the following concerns: anxiety, depression, relationships, PTSD/trauma, education/career, grief/loss, marriage/family, separation/divorce, parenting, adoption/fertility, and disabilities. I presented research at the American Psychological Association in Boston, and I keep abreast of changes in the field. As a professor, I taught a myriad of graduate courses including psychotherapy, psychological testing, and ethics.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW THERAPY CLIENTS. Therapy with me is sitting with a patient-centered, empathetic, and nonjudgmental individual. This aids in facilitating my #1 goal of helping you build a life worth living, knowing this looks different for everyone. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, which emphasizes examining the relational and contextual patterns that inform our behavior. My style is infused with humor and irreverent honesty. Most of all, I build genuine connections to create brave spaces, where clients feel a sense of safety to explore and grow.
