An ideal client is someone who is ready to consider making a change in their life. Therapy can help you explore what you can change and what you might want to change, including helping you to identify small steps you can take to get you there.

Whatever brought you to consider therapy, know that you are not alone. Many of us struggle to manage intense emotions, connect deeply with others, meet our goals, live up to our expectations, accept ourselves, or find meaning in life. In a safe and supportive space you are free to express yourself openly, honestly, and authentically, and together we can work to discover the ways you would like your life to be different. The approach we take to enacting those changes will be guided by your personality, culture, and needs.

You don't feel good enough and you've never truly fit in. You're struggling with substance use, addiction, shame, and low self-esteem. Control, perfectionism and rigidity have become ways to manage life. If you're not achieving then you feel worthless. Nothing is good enough! You're harder on yourself than with strangers. You've felt depressed and anxious for as long as you can remember. It's felt difficult to connect with others. Relationships feel challenging. Anger comes out quick but it's masking other feelings. Even though life has been challenging you keep pushing forward. You're resilient and continue to bounce back.

* I CURRENTLY HAVE A WAITLIST FOR NEW CLIENTS* Hello! I'm a psychiatrist with extensive experience in eating disorders, anxiety, and symptoms stemming from complex trauma. I often work with folks who struggle to give themselves the same grace they give others, or who struggle to believe that they are truly able to heal. My style is warm, empathetic, yet often quite direct.  I believe strongly in authenticity and in the power of human connection. I work to learn each individual deeply so that I can help you better understand your own areas of pain or conflict, and help support you as you navigate the way forward.   

*Currently accepting new clients!* I work with older adolescents, young adults, and adults of all ages to address concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma & PTSD, grief & loss, guilt & shame, life transitions, LGBTQ+ concerns, and spiritual/religious concerns (including but not limited to recovery from religious trauma, cult experiences, and similar). I especially enjoy working with clients to build emotion regulation, self-care, and self-compassion. I'm wholeheartedly committed to serving clients of any cultural, racial, gender, sexual, or spiritual identity in an inclusive, affirming, and anti-oppressive practice.

It is important in my work with individuals to initially focus on rapport and the creation of a welcoming and comfortable environment. There are times in life when the journey appears difficult. Obstacles can seem insurmountable and overwhelming. My emphasis is in helping those in need, through an eclectic evidence-based approach, to identify and develop their strengths. I count it a high honor to walk alongside individuals on their path of life. There is extraordinary beauty and value in each individual. I strive to illuminate that truth for each client.

*Currently accepting new clients* "Time heals all wounds." Or does it? The problem with this saying is it's just not true. What they mean is over time, we push down how we feel, lodging our trauma deep into our psyches. We develop "baggage." Sound familiar? As a result, we become less alive, less vibrant, and more disconnected from ourselves. I know because I've been there. With meditation, therapy, and a bit of grace, I found my way out. Now, I help people in their late teens, 20s, and 30s drop the baggage for good so they too can live happy, successful, and authentic lives. I welcome LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folks.

My mission is to assist clients on their journey towards finding solutions, purpose, empowerment and achieving personal growth, balance and happiness. I take a collaborative, compassionate and empathic stance and am committed to tailoring treatment to meet the needs of my clients. I believe that every client is resilient and capable of change and personal growth, which can amount to a happy, healthy and gratifying life, as defined by the client. I also believe in providing an honest, safe and secure environment to allow clients to open up, share and be their authentic selves. My Motto is there is nobody better than you.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families on a range of things, from family and relationship issues to life transitions, depression and anxiety, grief, larger existential questions, and other things. A particular focus is helping people in crisis manage and make meaning from difficulties. My approach to therapy is supportive, relational, and client-centered, with a focus on how things manifest themselves in the here and now. More than anything, I try to create a safe space for tuning in to feelings, finding balance, healing, and working on change.

I enjoy working with people who seek to discover new ways of moving through life. Sometimes this means working together to uncover new strategies for managing painful thoughts, memories and emotions. It may also involve identifying problematic patterns of behavior and exploring more adaptive coping strategies. I also enjoy working with people who wish to improve their navigation of various types of relationships including romantic, family, professional and peer relationships. Additionally, I also like helping people uncover new meaning and purpose in life.
