I am experienced in working with adults struggling with mood disorders and trauma, including: nervousness/anxiety; irritability with anything and everyone; chronic depression; and feeling "defective" and fearing rejection.
Consideration of entering therapy can feel like an overwhelming task, especially if you are struggling, feeling like "nothing will change", in transition or have been hurt in previous relationships. I provide a safe, trusting and non-judgmental environment in which we work together on your challenges. While I bring knowledge and experience to our work, you are the expert on you: your goals and feedback on the process will drive our work together. Clients have provided me with excellent feedback, stating that I am open, empathic and good-natured about the difficulties of change.

Since 2004, I have worked with both adults and young people ages 14 to 19 of all sexual orientations, specializing in anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
Regardless of the challenges you face in life, I believe growth and healing are possible. Therapy can help you deepen your relationships and cultivate more passion, meaning and resilience. My approach, a synthesis of a range of theoretical orientations, is built on a foundation of empathy, acceptance and trust. I don't view you as a collection of symptoms, but rather as a whole, complex person with a unique life and experiences.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents struggling with issues related to self-esteem, relationships, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and difficult life transitions.
We all deserve to be happy and fulfilled in our relationships. However, healthy and meaningful relationships do not come without work. Whether it is with your intimate partner, friends, family or coworkers, the quality of our relationships has a direct impact on our mental health. I help individuals understand how their past experiences, sometimes traumatic, impact their present struggles related to anxiety, stress or depression, and often interfere with their ability to cultivate and maintain relationship satisfaction.
