My website

Hi there! As a psychotherapist, I work with individuals of all ages, with a particular focus on teens and young adults navigating emotional and relational challenges. I frequently support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and the effects of relationship/family conflict, such as divorce. I specialize in treating a range of addictions and unhealthy dependencies that include substance and behavioral addiction. My ideal client is someone who wants to feel understood and supported as we focus on building insight and developing practical tools for growth.

My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and person-centered. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you will feel heard, validated, and empowered to effect change. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping skills. Lastly, I'm a big fan of including DBT skills.

Together, we will identify obstacles to your growth and develop practical tools to help you move toward a more meaningful life.

Positive Psychology

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. Also, use DBT to take actionable steps to help in the moment of intense emotions.
