You matter. Your well-being and happiness matters. My approach is focused on helping people clarify their needs and work through psychological barriers to obtaining them. It involves a collaborative exploration of how our past experiences and beliefs affect how we experience ourselves, others, and life in the present. Through better understanding of our own internal and external worlds, not only can distressing emotions and symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and the effects of trauma be reduced, but more free, fulfilling, and enjoyable lives can be achieved.
I am a licensed psychotherapist practicing psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, attachment-based, and integrative therapies. Together, we can find a way through whatever is holding you back in your unique pursuit of happiness.
The foundation of successful psychotherapy is the establishment of a safe, confidential, trusting, and supportive therapeutic relationship. I believe each individual, regardless of their past behavior and life experience, deserves to live well, and is the best judge of what that entails for them. I support people in realizing their unique Good life.

My specialties have coalesced from my integrated life, academic, and clinical experience. I believe that all mental distress distills down to the detrimental emotional effects of some type of trauma. Through turning toward anxiety, a treatment path for more specific symptoms/distress can be co-developed.
