Growth is beautiful, although at times, it’s not pretty. I’m here to support you through this process, tap into your intrinsic ability to heal, and achieve your full potential. My clients are adults and adolescents who are tired of feeling mentorless, stuck, or afraid of failure and want to change their lives. Whether they’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, I work with clients in a relational, experiential way to engage their intrinsic capacity to heal. Your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are asking you to slow down and nurture your internal world.

Practicing psychoanalytically since 2012, I work with patients from a broad range of social, economic, and cultural backgrounds across a comparably broad range of issues ranging from anxiety and body-mediated distress to mourning, melancholia, and existential quandaries regarding work, intimacy, and sex. With a background in Freudian and Feminist theory—as well as literature, music, and the arts—I find therapy most productive and illuminating when it explores not only a person's conscious interests and challenges but their unconscious thoughts as well.

Parents often decide to bring their child to see someone when there has been a recent life event that may have contributed to increased feelings of sadness, worry, or anger. Or, maybe you have noticed a change in behaviors at school or home that have impacted their relationships with friends and family. I have worked with children and adolescents in different settings for over twenty years. I have experience in providing services for stress, anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, grief, substance usage, and anger.

Often time, people begin psychotherapy as a result of feeling disconnected from themselves or the world. When overwhelmed by life, you may notice feeling drained, disconnected, dissatisfied with your relationships, and at times physically unwell. In therapy, I create a safe space to explore past, present, and future struggles and work towards goals in order to live a more insightful, balanced, fulfilled life.

I help people sort through parts of life that feel 'stuck' and work to identify skills to move forward. In particular, my work has focused on helping people improve their relationships with food, their bodies, and the culture that has dictated the most harmful elements of this relationship. I have training in both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, and my practice leans into values-driven Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I welcome clients from all identities, and make space to address the impact of explicit and internalized biases.

Psychotherapy is simultaneously one of the most difficult and most rewarding things one can do. Honestly confronting the patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that maintain the life you have and understanding the roots of your values, beliefs, and desires can be hard work, but it is also the best way to break old habits and start to live a life you want to live. People often report repeating behaviors that feel natural to them but that result in the same painful outcomes: dating the same type of partner, getting into the same arguments, feeling the same anxiety or ambient-sadness.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
