I have extensive experience in psychoanalytic therapy and my primary areas of clinical interest/specialty include: depression, anxiety, grief/ loss, trauma, faith/spirituality, anger management, and men’s issues.
Hello! Like our physical health, I believe our mental health is just as important and requires some intention, work, and accountability in order to help maintain optimal well-being. Sometimes, we can do it on our own and other times, we could use some help – both are ok. If we’re a good fit, therapy, tailored to your unique experience and needs, can significantly help you towards maintaining and sustaining your well-being.

I primarily work with young adults and adults who have experienced anxiety, depression, imposter phenomenon, relationship issues, trauma, and grief and loss.
Seeking out therapy is an act of courage – it can be incredibly daunting to take that first step of reaching out for support! Once you start the process, however, you will find that therapy is a journey of self-discovery and improvement. I approach my role as a therapist with the goal of supporting you by creating a safe place for you to process your experiences and helping you develop healthy coping skills to change unhelpful patterns of behaviors. I also focus on fostering self-compassion and empowerment throughout the therapeutic experience. I'm currently accepting new clients and have availability on evenings and weekends.

While I am licensed and qualified to treat a diverse range of concerns, my specialties lie in the areas of anxiety, grief, trauma, and mindfulness.
Life can be hard. So many of us face difficulties and challenges at different points throughout life. We might feel scared, sad, alone, overwhelmed. Helpless, hopeless. We might become angry with others, and even turn against ourselves. Sometimes we may lose sight of the moment and of ourselves and it becomes difficult to find any kind of meaning or purpose in life. Finding an anchor in the present, cultivating awareness and understanding, and finding compassion for your inner voice and emotional repertoire can be healing, and can cultivate new relationships not only those around you, but also within yourself.
