In my mind, the ideal psychologist is validating, transparent, practical, and experienced. As both a board certified CBT and DBT therapist, I teach tangible tools to get "unstuck" based on scientific research within a nonjudgmental, warm, environment. My hope is to help you move toward the life you want and create some distance from the thoughts and behaviors that might get in your way. My goal isn't only to help you feel better, but to holistically live better. I really enjoy working with college and graduate students, people pursuing life changes (such as career, relationship), and individuals facing medical problems.

Life can feel overwhelming in so many ways — the constant hum of anxiety, the fog of depression, the rollercoaster of bipolar disorder, the weight of past trauma, or challenges like burnout, loneliness, or relationship struggles.

When the burden becomes too heavy to carry alone, therapy can be the place where things begin to shift.
As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I offer a steady, compassionate space to sort through the chaos and move toward a more grounded, resilient life.

A time comes in all our lives when we’re called to grow and heal. Thankfully, the ability to do so is part of our human nature—something that naturally comes alive when met with the right kind of support.
Therapy offers this support. It’s not about “fixing” you, but about supporting the capabilities you already carry within to get to a better place.
With broad training and experience as a therapist, I’ve witnessed firsthand—in myself and in others—our innate ability to heal and grow, no matter what’s happening right now, no matter what happened back then, and no matter what feels uncertain about the future.

Therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore unconscious assumptions and emotional defenses that cause problems. Painful, confusing feelings become important guides to understanding parts of yourself that don't make much sense. Are you troubled by longstanding pervasive issues with relationships, depression, anxiety, emptiness or self-esteem? Do you have a sense that your problems may stem from childhood wounds or past experiences? People are often unaware of the feelings and behaviors that influence their lives. Greater self awareness helps new healthier parts of yourself to emerge, which helps you make better choices.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
