You may be struggling with depression or anxiety, grief or loss, or a difficult relationship. Maybe your stress level has increased recently and you find yourself struggling to cope. These types of situations sometimes leave people feeling “stuck” and unsure of how to move forward and regain their quality of life. Psychotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based mental health treatment that helps many people move past the stuckness and find new ways of managing life’s challenges. I have special expertise in treating high-functioning professionals with stressful jobs.
My clinical style is empathic and curious. I strive to collaborate with clients to deepen their thinking, feeling, and perspective on the world, identify and change problematic behavioral and relational patterns, and increase self-awareness and understanding. I will facilitate a safe environment that supports your personal growth toward your goals.
I will strive to be as present as possible with you, whether our sessions take place in-person or online, as we journey toward your healing together, affirming your cultural identities and lived experience. If you are interested in learning more about my services, please call or email me to schedule a brief phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you!

Ultimately, the research on psychotherapy tells us that change and healing in therapy happen as a function of the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist, not specific interventions used. I prioritize building healing treatment relationships with my clients, and then pull tools and techniques from a variety of psychotherapies to support them in overcoming specific challenges.
