My website

I offer evidence-based psychotherapy for people navigating relationship challenges, self-harm, thoughts of suicide, and issues with self-esteem or identity. I also specialize in borderline personality disorder (BPD), and provide care to those with BPD as well as support and education to loved ones of individuals with BPD. I often work with individuals who have felt misunderstood by others in their life or who have struggled to find ways to communicate their needs or feelings in healthy ways to those close to them. If you have had this experience, perhaps I can help.

I bring a balanced approach to my practice, combining warmth, structure, and flexibility to create a supportive therapeutic environment. As a teacher and scientist, as well as a therapist, I use cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches and integrate dialectical behavior therapy skills with transference-focused psychotherapy, an exploration-focused approach.

At our first meeting, I spend time getting to know you and what you are dealing with. After that, I will be transparent with you about my understanding of your concerns and we will collaboratively set up a plan for our work together, typically meeting once per week. I am typically able to provide either virtual or in-person sessions.

I am an integrative therapist, combining the importance of learning new skills to manage emotions and have satisfying relationships with the ability to explore your sense of self, identity, and who you are as a person. Depending both on your preference and on our discussion of your needs, I tend to combine an open and exploratory therapy session with helping you learn and practice coping skills.
