I am a clinical social worker specializing in individual psychodynamic therapy, an approach that offers deep and lasting psychological growth and change. It is painful to deal with loss, revisit trauma, or see ourselves more honestly, yet in the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, it becomes possible to embark on this journey and to create a full and richly meaningful life. I prioritize empathy, insight and attunement, with the goal of helping you move toward greater resilience, wholeness, connection to yourself and others, and freedom from debilitating symptoms and self-defeating patterns.

Stress and challenges are part of living a full life. How you manage these challenges makes the difference between suffering and engagement in solving the problems that lead to depression and anxiety. That means building skills that help you live the kind of life that is meaningful and facing the issues that are leading you away from your best self. My hope is to focus on how to help you help yourself.

I am offering Telehealth or in-person meetings.
I believe that we have all of the tools in us already to make the change we desire. Therapy can serve to identify and access those tools, offering a place to create a safe relationship to explore and strengthen sense of self and work through challenges.
In my relational approach to treatment, I strive to find a balance, reduce suffering, and work toward the change the individual desires. I work with general anxiety & health anxiety, grief & loss, and depression & stress — because it’s difficult to be human. I help people realize they can tolerate difficulty through empowering them to find a way through.

Feeling anxious or depressed? Burned out? Facing difficult life transitions or overwhelmed by cultural adjustment? Struggling in important relationships? You're not alone. In therapy, I can be a sojourner (a traveling companion) to walk through this phase of life with you. Together, we'll work on helping you reconnect with your most authentic self, build confidence, and develop new ways of coping and relating to others. And if you aren't sure what's wrong or what you need, I offer psychological assessment, working as a detective to clarify a diagnosis, find the best treatments, and help you move forward.

I love to help clients identify and break harmful patterns of behavior and work towards a healthier, more sustainable, balance that improves their lives. My style is compassionate, yet direct and transparent. I see problematic behaviors as coping mechanisms for underlying stressors/emotional experiences that need processing.

In every case, I consider clients' contexts, which have great impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mindfulness practice is built-in to my approach.

Currently, I am only accepting new clients for in-person psychoanalytic psychotherapy at a frequency of at least twice per week.
Engaging in psychoanalytic therapy often leads one to feel that life is more spacious - less driven by old fears and more genuinely your own. Relationships tend to shift - there is more capacity for intimacy, clearer boundaries, and a greater ability to tolerate difficult feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Clarity, vitality, and compassion emerge.

I offer therapy both in-person and online.
Our world is full of things that demand our attention and keep us captivated as much as possible. Scrolling or playing video games will always be more fun than chores or homework. It’s no wonder that we experience waves of anxiety, stress, or sadness in between periods of distraction. My approach to therapy is built on the idea that we have to get better at tolerating our feelings. If you’re late on a deadline, feeling stressed is appropriate and the desire to distract can be powerful. I believe the ability to feel and tolerate hard emotions is the first step to taking action towards the life you want to live.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative experience in which you take an in-depth look at your life, perspectives and behaviors and explore what may or may not be working with a trained professional. Each individual experiences life in one's own unique way, with one's own set of personal values and goals. Sometimes life circumstances can create a conflict with a person's values. Sometimes people try their best and cannot change the way they feel. "Good people" can experience depression, anxiety, anger, grief, substance abuse, trauma and other circumstances, which, with the assistance of a trained professional, can be resolved.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
