Therapy is a unique experience for each person. It helps you learn yourself, your relationships (past and present), and how you interact with the world. It is a place of self healing and understanding. It is a place to find safety and refuge to manage stress,anger, guilt, anxiety, overwhelming feelings, trauma, interpersonal conflict, and significant life events. I work with youth and adults to help address these issues. I am trained as a psychodynamic therapist, practicing from a relational standpoint. I use several clinical approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and trauma focused therapy as needed.

For over a decade, we've worked with adults in their 20s and 30s to help them overcome the emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges of young adulthood. We have a keen understanding of the demands on today's young adults to succeed academically, socially, and in the workplace. Our goal is to support you in developing necessary skills and resources as you pursue personal, career, and academic success. When work or school performance is a concern, our focus is on the intersection of mental health issues with these needs, two aspects of a person's life that are rarely addressed simultaneously or understood as interdependent.

This helps to bring the issues into consciousness, and once there, allows you to work with them. This work involves change. There may be many underlying issues which will become the work as they become apparent.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself? Maybe you're navigating a life change, dealing with anxiety or depression, feeling drained by relationships, or carrying the weight of past experiences. I work with individuals across the lifespan and gender identities, but I specialize in working with young adult women who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, codependency, and chronic illness. My clients are often thoughtful, high-achieving people who’ve spent years caring for others and are now realizing it’s time to care for themselves, too.
