Are you looking for some relief, clarity or help getting “unstuck”? Do you find yourself feeling anxious or wondering why you find yourself in certain patterns at work, in relationships or with your moods? Are you trying to figure out who you are and what it is you want to get out of your life? Therapy can be a valuable tool for self discovery, for gaining insight into your patterns, and for help easing psychic pain. Feel free to schedule a free consultation and let's figure out where you've been and where you want to be.

I have worked with clients on issues including stress, anxiety, depression, substance misuse, relationship and work stressors, trauma, grief, loneliness, self-esteem issues, overachieving and identity exploration.

We can work together to discover your truest self, uncover what you desire and find ways to cope effectively. If you're unsure of where to start, let's have a free consultation. A consultation is an opportunity to get a sense of what it would be like working with me, explore your therapy goals, and discuss any logistics you might have (fee/scheduling/etc.)

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Psychodynamic

I will approach our work together through a psychodynamic lens to gain insight into patterns of thought, behavior and moods to assist in self-discovery and help getting "unstuck". I also draw on other modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for strategies to provide day-to-day relief.
