Sometimes life throws us obstacles that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and maybe even unheard or misunderstood by those in our lives. This can be extremely frustrating. As a psychologist, I help people feel heard during difficult times and find ways to get unstuck. Together we will explore the traps that keep you stuck and discover how your internal critic contributes to or exacerbates your challenges. Distress is a normal part of life that affects everyone to varying degrees. I will work collaboratively with you to help you learn to live a fulfilling life despite the challenges you might be facing.

I work with adults on a variety of issues including, but not limited to, life transition and adjustment, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and stress management. My areas of expertise are in working with parents navigating the stress of balancing their many roles, college students, and young professionals.

I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and recognize the importance of multicultural factors in shaping how one interacts with and experiences the world. My goal is to create a warm, empathic, collaborative space where individuals can feel able to be their genuine self.
