My job is to provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment to help you find balance and start feeling like yourself again. Whether you're going through a tough life transition, struggling in your relationships or wanting to let go of unhealthy habits, we can take steps forward together. Our sessions provide an opportunity to identify blind spots, learn new skills, get unstuck and optimize your potential. Together, we build on your inherent strengths while increasing your inner wisdom to move you toward your goals.

I use an empathic, nonjudgemental, and strengths-based approach to therapy with my clients. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, self-harm, disordered eating behaviors, and relationship difficulties. My approach is collaborative, so that we can work together to reach your goals that are most important to you. Our individual sessions may include homework to increase practice with skills/strategies.

Feeling stressed & overwhelmed? Seeking balance & peace of mind? I am dedicated to assisting clients in finding balance & acquiring emotional regulation tools to navigate their fast-paced lives, so that they can accomplish their goals & live the life of their dreams. I have supported clients with anxiety, ADHD, panic, depression, bipolar, stress, relationships, divorce, self-esteem, trauma, codependency, sexual concerns, weight loss, & addictions. Therapeutic support & resources await. All ages are welcome. Let's collaborate & grow.

Welcome! I work with clients seeking greater satisfaction, connection, and authenticity in their day to day life. It is my goal to create a welcoming, empathic, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your past and present, and make sense of the world you are participating in. Struggles with relationships, anxiety, depression, identity, and emotional regulation can present a barrier that I aim to help my clients overcome.

My approach to therapy starts with creating a safe and supportive environment that celebrates and respects all identities and backgrounds. While I have experience working with a broad range of mental health conditions, my specialties are anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders, reproductive and perinatal mental health, cannabis use disorders, OCD, and trauma. I believe that through authenticity, openness, and compassion, we can work together to face life's challenges and embrace its endless possibilities.

In my mind, the ideal psychologist is validating, transparent, practical, and experienced. As both a board certified CBT and DBT therapist, I teach tangible tools to get "unstuck" based on scientific research within a nonjudgmental, warm, environment. My hope is to help you move toward the life you want and create some distance from the thoughts and behaviors that might get in your way. My goal isn't only to help you feel better, but to holistically live better. I really enjoy working with college and graduate students, people pursuing life changes (such as career, relationship), and individuals facing medical problems.

I take a cognitive-behavioral approach to helping clients. Within that framework, I've trained in traditional CBT for a variety of problems, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), mindfulness-based treatments, trauma-focused treatments (Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy), and treatment for chronic depression (CBASP). Using this knowledge, I can create a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. I specialize in psychosis, OCD, mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, trauma, and insomnia in adults and older adolescents.

My mission is to empower individuals, couples, and families that I work with. Helping you build meaningful connections to yourselves, others, and the world is part of that mission.

Past experiences can haunt you and contribute to overwhelming emotions that derail your best intentions and interfere with your goals, dreams, and connections with others. Interpersonal relationships are challenging enough without societal pressures, less-than-helpful norms and legacies, and problematic environments that make us feel devalued or ashamed. I also understand the unique challenges of life as a creative. Asking for help is tough, but building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself, others, and your nervous system is even tougher without support. You've already taken the hardest step. Don't stop now!

Maybe you're suffering deeply with something that's been with you since you were a child or difficulties that have come up just recently. Perhaps you're not sure what's wrong, but things just don't seem quite right in your life. Considering psychotherapy is brave and a sign of your potential to heal and grow. I work in partnership with my clients to help them explore what's going on in their lives, how they're thinking and feeling about those things, and take steps to change them.

Providing optimal care requires the capacity for humble self-reflection, the willingness to shift gears when needed, and the creativity to approach problems in unexpected ways. One of my primary goals as a therapist is to constantly question and re-evaluate my own perceptions, intuition, and clinical judgment. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with eating disorders, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety disorders. Broadly trained in dialectical behavioral, cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic treatments models, as well as specific empirically supported interventions, I strive to address each individual's needs with the appropriate clinical approach.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who places greatest value in establishing an empathic, warm, & respectful environment (while modeling firm, healthy boundaries) for clients & their families. Over the last 7 years I've treated adults, children, teens, couples, families, & groups in a private practice setting. My strength-based, collaborative approach drawing on numerous techniques (CBT, DBT, Fam Systems, etc.) helps clients get the most from therapy & allows tailoring our work to your needs. When beneficial and appropriate, I work to foster a "team approach," encouraging good communication w/other members of a client's daily life (i.e. other practitioners/physicians, family, teachers, etc.).

It is often not easy to seek support, however you're already showing a tremendous amount of courage by considering therapy.
