Do you catch yourself thinking, "does life have to be this hard?" I help my clients make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and understand why the same painful patterns keep showing up. From there, we can start moving towards acceptance of the things that are unchangeable, and making change where it will count. Our work will be grounded in science and tailored to your unique identity, experiences, and goals. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been getting in the way of feeling more at ease and connected, and help you build the confidence to face hard things while creating a life that feels more sustainable and meaningful.
I completed my PhD at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at Brown University. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Brown University. I specialize in treatment focused on relationships (current and healing from past), trauma, and anxiety.
You've already taken a huge step by doing this search. But I know that choosing a therapist can feel daunting. You don’t have to do it alone. Contact me now to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. I'll learn a bit about you, tell you more about my approach, answer your questions, and you'll be one step closer to finding the right therapist for you.
