I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, believing that each person’s life story affects his or her present experience, while also integrating other approaches (CBT, humanistic, relational therapy, family systems), according to your particular needs.
Welcome to my practice. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and help adults struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, stress and life transitions, as well as those who are simply interested in self-exploration. No matter what brings you to pursue support at this time, I prioritize establishing a trusting, safe and respectful space in session and strive to help you get out of therapy whatever it is you are seeking from the experience.

I am interested in a transformative process that focuses on what interests you. I operate based on a wellness model; seeing clients as human beings who walk in seeking help, as opposed to a diagnosis needing fixing. This is all simply a human journey and we can all use a little guidance from time to time.

Do you feel lonely even though you are in a committed relationship? Does it seem like you and your partner speak different languages and live different realities? Do you have the same fights over and over again and nothing ever gets resolved? These feelings can be overwhelming and scary. I want to help you begin to change your relationship so it can be a source of nurturing and support instead of a cause of stress and anxiety. I work with individuals and couples using a flexible, collaborative and strengths-based approach to help my clients build connection, resolve conflicts, develop trust, and find happiness in their lives.

I am in-network with Aetna, Horizon BCBS, United, Oxford, UMR and Lyra. Grief is deeply personal. In times of loss, you deserve to be seen, heard, and validated no matter what shape or form it comes in. Maybe you recently lost a loved one. The stress of interpersonal relationships or career shifts might be weighing heavy on you. Or perhaps postpartum and adjusting to parenthood is harder than you expected it to be. It may not feel like it right now, but you aren’t alone — therapy is a safe space to share your story.

For someone to undertake therapy is almost always fraught with anxiety. Who is this person I am trusting with my thoughts and feelings? Will she understand me? Everyone shares these questions and concerns in one form or another. The work I do with people is geared toward helping them to understand themselves better and to make better choices in their lives. I have many years of experience in working with people facing relationship difficulties, the challenge of using their skills to their best advantage, and in helping adults to navigate the challenges of parenting.

Welcome to my practice. I have found that developing inner resources such as curiosity, empathy and courage allows people to love more generously and to tolerate the rigors of intimacy more joyfully. These qualities naturally provide patients with new ways of dealing with life's problems, thereby reducing symptoms of distress. I believe that the process of therapy can cultivate a rich appreciation for how the past may be recreated in the present; I encourage the identification of patterns of relationships that bind people to familiar, often negative, ways of experiencing themselves and the world.

Navigating life can be challenging, especially when we are dealing with emotional pain, relationship problems or addiction. At times the assistance of a therapist is needed to help regain stability. Each individual has the ability to make healthy changes to address areas they find of concern. Dealing with these life challenges on your own can be very difficult. Therapy seeks to assist us in recapturing the experience and feelings of pleasure, freedom, connection, and choice. You may believe you have tried everything, perhaps you have lost hope or don't know where to get the help you need.

Humanistic Therapists

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
