I work with individuals and couples across the lifespan and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship distress, eating disorders, and psychosis.
You are reading these words for a reason: You want to make a change and you're not sure how. Perhaps you feel socially inept and terrified of judgement or rejection. Or you feel alone and disconnected, unable to communicate effectively with the people you love most. Or you feel at odds with your body and dependent on food rituals surrounded by secrecy and shame. The human mind is wonderfully creative and adaptive. Your symptoms are valid responses to internal and environmental circumstances. In therapy, we can hold and heal your experience together.

In addition to treating anxiety, depression, body image, grief, relationship difficulties, I also specialize in working with trauma, dissociation, psychosis, and other difficult experiences.
In therapy, my approach is nondirective, genuine, warm, and empathic. I am nonjudgmental, accepting, and understanding. I follow my clients as they focus on whatever feels most important to them. My goal is to build a safe therapeutic relationship for clients to explore the depths of their most significant and often challenging life experiences. I listen and respond with empathic understanding of these experiences while my clients find meaning that is congruent with their whole self. Clients often feel deeply understood during this process, which is a profoundly healing experience.

In addition, I have helped many people who experience psychosis as well as those who struggle with their relationship to substances.
As we walk through life, experiences are constantly being added to our “backpacks.” Our backpacks, at times, feel particularly heavy & uncomfortable, subsequently making daily experiences feel burdensome. I see therapy as a space to take off your backpack - a time to empty its parts and explore them with curiosity & self-compassion, hopefully putting them back inside feeling a little lighter. I aim to hold space for all parts of your backpack, carrying them with you in ways that are collaborative, warm, and affirming.

I specialize in adults, anxiety, depression, and psychosis.
Therapy can be a difficult step for individuals to take in their lives. People may seek therapy in order to find answers to issues they have had for many years. Therapy is also much more than that. Therapy is a collaboration between the client and the therapist, in order to gain insight and have the necessary tools to continue to succeed in their everyday lives. My goal is to create an environment in which you feel comfortable working on yourself. Being as authentic as I can be during sessions. Providing a supportive and safe space where you can express yourself freely and discuss your issues without fear of judgment.

My background in social work with those who have a history of psychosis has given me deep respect for people's experiences of marginalization and stigma, which sometimes result from seeking help.
Therapy is a place for those parts of our lives that don’t otherwise have a place. It is a place for what we cannot otherwise say or fully feel—where the confusing, conflictual, the overwhelming, and the intolerable can be without having to make sense. Bringing these parts of ourselves into dialogue can lead to understanding and change.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, dissociation, major life and relationship changes, and extreme states such as psychosis and mania.
We all need love, community, and purpose. For many, the suffering of our past and oppressive systems of our present leave us anxious, depressed, and alienated. We may wonder how to feel agentic in our lives when the future feels so precarious. I offer a caring, non-judgmental space to explore the full complexity of your identity and experience. Together, we’ll work to recognize and change the patterns and beliefs preventing you from building the life and relationships you want, while grieving what can’t be changed. I believe if we can begin to imagine possibilities for ourselves - even outside of capitalism, we can create them.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
