Welcome to a safe place to start your therapy journey. You are the main character in the story—the expert on your own life & the one who has to do the heavy lifting, but sometimes we all could use some support, some shoring up if you will, & a guide to help us find our way, discover new possibilities, & change direction. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs & goals. I'd like to help navigate the way to a healthier you & would be honored to hear your story.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. However, within these broad subject matters, I have taken postgraduate continuing education and have studied literature in the following areas: Mindfulness, Complicated Grief (Columbia University), Anxiety and Food Allergy, and Depression due to chronic illness.
Clear, open communication in a non-judgmental environment is a key success factor towards meeting a client's goals. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy as the groundwork for making change, but I consider myself eclectic as each individual, family, and situation is highly unique. My background in social work has allowed me to view the person in the whole system of their lives and assist individuals in dealing with mental health struggles as well as attaining emotional wellness.
