With 20 years of experience working with adults of all ages, I have helped many individuals find their way through symptoms of anxiety and depression with gentleness and compassion. Often my work focuses on how we relate to ourselves and the world. By cultivating self-compasssion and challenging negative self perceptions, I believe we can begin to realize and feel our intrinsic wholeness. I also help clients to navigate interpersonal relationships and transitions, which can challenge us and impact our sense of community and our place in the world. Additionally, I focus on health, wellness and humor for psychological healing.

Often, we find ourselves stuck. We repeat ineffective and painful patterns of behavior, and think worrisome and self-critical thoughts. Our past creeps in and impacts our present functioning. We struggle with conflict and communication in our most important relationships. It takes courage to tell your story, whether it is your first time or you have previously engaged in therapy. It is a privilege for me to learn about, and partner with you in pursuit of your goals. I see therapy as a safe and collaborative space to explore yourself, your areas of strength and of growth, and your relationships, without judgement.

I'm especially passionate about working with women to break free from repetitive patterns—including those rooted in harmful dating and relationship dynamics—and to reconnect with their inner strength and clarity. Many of the women I work with are navigating attachment wounds and learning how to build healthier, more secure connections. A core part of our work often involves rebuilding self-worth from the inside out, so that relationships are rooted in confidence, not anxiety or self doubt. I work with people who need support living a life more aligned with their authentic beliefs and support their true self.

My approach to treatment is to create a space that is supportive and empathetic so that the client will be in a place to build rapport, explore issues that are interfering with their quality of life, and develop a better sense of goals and the means to reach them. I operate from a Strength-based and Cognitive-behavioral therapy lens with elements of other modalities.

Grief and loss
For couples work: I believe the quality of our lives is deeply shaped by the quality of our most intimate relationships.

"A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses. It is an idea that possesses the mind." Robert Oxton Bolton. We act based on our beliefs, and sometimes who we believe we are, and what we believe we can achieve might not align with the future we wish to build around us. And sometimes, we might not be even aware that we have those misbelieves. As a psychotherapist with psychoanalytic background, I am trained to listen to my clients in a unique way. In my private practice, I provide individual and couples therapy for adults and young adults.

Therapy can be many things. It often starts as support during a crisis and move towards exploration of the underlying factors that maintain unhappiness, anxiety, or maladaptive coping behaviors.

Coming to therapy can often be a challenging decision. Knowing how to start or how to find the right therapist is key to meeting your goals. My approach is to create a safe and supportive space for individuals to engage in reflection, learning, growth, healing and empowerment. Whether you are a college student or a more seasoned adult, this process will look different for each person as everyone has had their collection of experiences that have brought them to this point. I use an eclectic, intentional and thoughtful approach tailored to each client.

Although I was trained psycho-dynamically I have found over time that a variety of treatments have become increasingly useful in my work. I want the client to be a part of the treatment choice and plan. I do not want to just provide a service, but to help educate the client in order to help them become more independent in their future treatment needs. I feel; that no two clients fit the same box, as the client comes in and begins to open up about what has lead them to therapy, the treatment I use changes accordingly.

Getting through the day to day in the intensity of the world we live in can be a feat in itself. Now more than ever, it may seem that the nonstop cycle of news, notifications and pressures can feel overstimulating. Combine that with the typical transitions in life, such as changing jobs, school stress, adjusting to a new phase from perinatal period or change in relationship status. You may notice unhelpful patterns, difficult emotions, and unexpected challenges becoming more overwhelming and are now seeking to take a step in establishing your grounding, control and calm.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
