I'm a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with people across the lifespan (children, adults & older adults) diagnosed with anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and depression.
Are you suffering and feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and distressing, intrusive thoughts? Are you struggling to enjoy or missing out on important parts of your life because of anxiety and worry? Maybe you feel stuck because you’ve tried therapy before and haven’t seen the changes you wanted. With targeted and science-based therapy, there is a way to regain control of your life and effectively reduce symptoms, improve your quality of life, and promote personal growth. In a compassionate and supportive environment, I offer practical strategies to help you create a life not driven by difficult emotions but driven by what you value.

I specialize in working with young people and the LGBTQIA community. My professional background in education, clowning, and physical theater deeply informs my work. Using embodied play alongside talk therapy, I find that my clients are able to access expression, relief, and growth. This type of work is useful for kids experiencing anxiety, school and family challenges, and struggling with self esteem. It is also useful for LGBTQIA people to become more deeply in touch with their identities, using a creative lens. I am committed to meeting clients where they are at to develop a space for creative healing.

In therapy, establishing a strong rapport and a collaborative relationship with you is central to my approach, because it is ultimately you who holds the essential knowledge of Self. Individuals and problems are unique; sometimes solution oriented approaches are warranted, and other times insight and exploration help to provide clarification and relief. With support, compassion, and curiosity, you can begin to expand a self-awareness that will help you live authentically.
