You are the expert of your own experience - my role is to work with you to have a different kind of conversation about that experience as we tackle life's stressors and challenges head-on. As a mental health counselor with specialized experience working with adolescents and young adults, my goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to build their self-understanding, work toward positive growth, and process trauma. I seek to empower my clients to build a healthy perception of self, strengthen relationships, and build the internal strength to build personal accountability and integrity.

I believe in the importance of using self-exploration as an instrument to improve one's emotional wellbeing.

Currently accepting new patients. I know that going to therapy can be intimidating, especially if this is your first time. My goal is to help you to feel comfortable beginning this process.

I work with people facing significant life transitions such as attending college/graduate school, starting a business/career, parenting, marriage /divorce and retirement.

Our desire is not always clear and can paralyze us. This can create discomfort or suffering that we don't really understand or can't make sense of. Our jobs, friends, families and relationships can suffer because of this.

I also work with people going through changes or periods of questioning in their identity and sexuality.

In my practice I enjoy helping people in their journey of self-understanding and life enrichment. My approach is primarily Psychodynamic, flexibly integrating elements of other evidence-based psychotherapies, such as CBT and DBT. I work with each person to identify core motivations, and to arrive at a more accurate and adaptive self-understanding. A focus of the collaborative work involves improving awareness of unproductive patterns of behavior. This usually leads to a virtuous cycle of insight, positive feelings, and behavioral activation. Clients gain a greater sense of personal agency and more control over the choices in their lives.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults and adolescents explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.
