A therapist is like a dentist. We can avoid them for a while, and sometimes we find one we like or don't like. Eventually, though, everyone needs to see one. Therapy won't solve your problems, but it will help equip you with the tools you need to get through. We offer in-person and video sessions, and see children to adults. We have several groups available, and we accept insurance and offer a sliding scale. We believe therapy is for everyone. Contact us for a free consultation. Even if you don't end up seeing a therapist with our practice, we can help you find someone that you connect with.

Extensively trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapies, (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Habit Reversal Therapy, Mindfulness-based CBT and Inference-base CBT). Gottman Level 2.
