I have worked with people from all walks of life for over two decades. I am goal-oriented, like to get to the point, and work with you to offer real-life solutions, instead of staying stuck in the past. Yes, I'm compassionate and gently curious too, but I like to get down to nitty-gritty and get you feeling better ASAP. I also have a degree in philosophy and enjoy helping people look for meaning in their lives if that is what they need to feel better about themselves

A good fit between therapist and patient is an essential ingredient in forming an effective working alliance, assuming the therapist has strong academic credentials. That is why I encourage patients to do their research. The best way to determine whether people can work well together is to talk. There should be no charge for an initial phone consultation to evaluate this. If after a phone visit it doesn't feel like a good fit, I will help you find someone who is.

I entered the mental health field during my master’s program, completing internships in inpatient psychiatry and substance use care. Since graduating, I’ve worked in a range of settings including eating disorder treatment, outpatient programs for co-occurring disorders, and private practice. I support individuals, couples, families, and groups, and have led therapeutic groups focused on trauma recovery, DBT and CBT skills, and PTSD support. I chose this path after working with a therapist in high school who changed my life. That experience drives me to offer meaningful, healing care to others.

My clients want to make changes in their lives. They believe that healing is possible for both body and mind. When they feel safe enough, they bravely share the old stories about themselves and the no-longer-helpful ways of dealing with the world that kept them feeling sick or stuck. They keep showing up when the going gets rough, because they’ve seen for themselves that they can trust the process, and they’re willing to keep working it until it works, one day at a time.

How does one find purpose and community in an increasingly hostile world and country? Is it the individual that is disordered or is it our society and the systems we are expected to operate within? It has been said that it is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Whether you seek to explore more complex ideas, your sense of self, navigating the complexities of interpersonal relationships, or gaining a deeper sense of the world around you, I am glad to be along for the journey. I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment that encourages my clients to do the work they have come to do.
