Knowing how or even where to begin self-reflection and growth can feel daunting. A feeling of safety alongside active engagement are essential to begin the process. I believe that feeling seen, heard, and known can open up a space to develop and effect necessary changes in your life. Deep work, exploration, and drawing connections can lead to insight and new ways of thinking, changed feelings, and changed behaviors allowing you to exist more freely.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS AT THIS TIME. If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of unproductive thought patterns that affect your everyday functioning in emotional and/or behavioral ways then therapy can introduce you to more effective ways to live your life. Finding a therapist who is supportive, present, understanding, and skilled in guiding you towards a more satisfying and fulfilling life is a positive step in that direction. It's a journey that's well worth taking in partnership with a professional you trust. Email is the preferred initial way to contact me.

While we may not always have control over all aspects of our lives, we have control over how we choose to react, how we make meaning of our situation, and most importantly how we grow from the challenges presented to us. I work with adults throughout the lifespan, from young adults to older adults, in an individual and group therapy setting. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, life transitions, and navigating relationships. I love working with clients who recognize the need for change in their lives and are motivated to work towards bettering their relationship with themselves and others.

It can be disheartening to expend considerable energy trying to change something and be left with a similar outcome. It is not easy to lead a fulfilling life while being caught in patterns outside of awareness. Psychotherapy gives the opportunity to look inward and ask how a fleeting thought, a dream, or a subtle change may be related to ongoing difficulties. Taking a closer look at something while also being curious during that exploration can open up a greater understanding and lead to meaningful changes.

People come to see me when they feel stuck and have had enough. I help parents help their children; help couples and families get closer and happier; and in general help people successfully resolve issues such as: stress, anxiety, adjustment to new life circumstances (relocation, family changes), relationship issues (divorce, extra-marital affairs, conflict), and dealing with difficult family members. Typical 50 minute sessions don't work for everyone, so I offer longer sessions when appropriate (up to 4 hours), where we use experiential techniques (meditation, sound, movement, Ketamine) to go deeper and facilitate transformation.

Waitlist for new clients
Therapy can be a wonderful way to become more self aware, build new skills to address unexpected challenges, heal and move forward. My career in social work is rooted in person centered, solution-focused treatment that highlights the strengths and resiliency of the folks I serve. I encourage clients to interrogate which systems of oppression have molded their sense of self and worldview. I have experience working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, and those wishing to fine tune interpersonal- familial skills.
