My website

I work with adults and couples, with clinical expertise in premenstrual disorders (PMDD, PMS, and premenstrual exacerbation of other conditions), relationship concerns, insomnia, and trauma. Therapy is an opportunity to connect with personally meaningful values and build the flexibility—both mentally and behaviorally—to pursue those values with intention. In our work together, I aim to create a supportive, collaborative environment to develop new skills, navigate challenges, and pursue purpose and fulfillment in your life.

I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment to individuals and couples. I approach therapy from a cognitive behavioral perspective, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. When applicable, I support patients to understand and adapt to symptom change across the menstrual cycle.

A strong fit with your therapist is the foundation for effective therapeutic work. Let's schedule an initial consultation so we can get to know each other and I can answer your questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
