My areas of interest and specialization include working with anxiety,
depression
, interpersonal issues, grief, family-of-origin concerns, disordered eating, trauma, and self-acceptance.
We often come to therapy because something in our life has emerged in a way we find challenging to navigate on our own. I approach our work together with this in mind, and as an honored participant in your journey towards change, growth, and deepened insight. My therapeutic style is rooted in relational psychodynamic and ACT interventions and centered in values of patience, humility, empathy, and humor. I strive to see you through the lens of your unique life experiences and to work collaboratively so we can effectively address your concerns. My hope is that, together, we can help you live a life that feels authentic and empowered.

depression
, anxiety, complex PTSD, relationship problems, or alcohol and drugs? Do others see you're at odds with yourself or your circumstances? Inner conflict, harsh self-criticism, rigid thinking, and refusal to accept yourself are blocking a life you want. Therapy doesn't need to last years nor require endless focus on the past. You can decide what to work on and have a say in the direction of that work. There are solutions for what's happening, and sometimes just seeing and keeping focused on these brings change without attention to much else. At other times it's more complicated. Give yourself room to explore.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming.
