Many people seek therapy after spending years putting others' needs before their own while silently struggling with stress, trauma, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life's challenges can make it difficult to feel connected, confident, or at peace. Therapy offers a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to explore emotions, gain insight into unhelpful patterns, and begin the healing process. Together, we focus on building self-worth, developing healthier coping skills, strengthening resilience, and creating a more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

I provide Individual and Couples Therapy to adults. Many of my individual clients present with mood and anxiety disorders, co-occurring addiction, OCD, adult ADHD, eating disorders, grief/bereavement, peripartum/postpartum issues, and residual effects of earlier trauma. Many are also navigating challenges and chronic disappointment of modern dating which can become emotionally debilitating. In my work with Couples, many seek to gain mutual clarity and understanding, bridge fundamental differences, face difficult decisions and transitions, and achieve more balance and equity inside their relationships.

Beginning therapy is a brave step, and I aim to provide a warm, affirming space where you can feel truly seen and supported. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in curiosity. I work best with individuals who are open to exploring how their past experiences have shaped current patterns, beliefs, and emotions—and who are ready to move toward greater self-understanding and authenticity.

Is overthinking an issue? If anxiety, low mood, or constant overthinking have been weighing you down, you’re not alone. Stress can easily take over, but it doesn’t have to. I help teens, adults, and older adults recognize the patterns that keep them stuck and find practical ways to feel grounded again. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll challenge unhelpful thoughts, strengthen balance, and build habits that make life feel lighter.

There are times in life when the work of being a person in the world can feel utterly unmanageable, if not downright impossible. Therapy should be a place of respite and recovery from these challenges - it is here that we can slow down, process, laugh, cry, heal, and grow. Everyone deserves a therapeutic space where you can be seen in the way you want to be seen, and heard in the way you want to be heard. In my work, I seek to create a collaborative space based on values of affirmation, trust, and compassion, in which we can explore and address the adversity that prevents you from leading the life you want to lead.

Do you feel there’s something more for you in the world, but don’t know what it is or how to get to it? Do emotional difficulties like anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms make this seem impossible? My mission as a therapist is to build an authentic, trusting relationship where you’ll feel safe to explore who you are and what you want. Feeling secure, heard, and accepted is the starting point for working through any struggles holding you back. I work most often with college students, young professionals, and teens/pre-teens, on issues like anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and depression. I also find it rewarding to work with couples.

Seeking mental health services can be a difficult process. The stigma behind mental health does not make it any easier. You may feel reluctant to seek help due to fear or feel shame and self-doubt. I am here to break this stigma with you by providing services filled with compassion, support and understanding. I will encourage you to communicate your emotions in and out of session, while providing you with the tools necessary to display them in healthy ways. You will be challenged and encouraged to implement your new skills outside of the therapeutic space. Change starts with you.

You might be interested in psychotherapy, because you’re facing recent problems that affect your work or personal life. The following are just several kinds of problems that are common among clients in my practice. Experiencing excessive sadness. Getting frustrated too quickly and intensely. Enduring repetitive thoughts that lead to feeling stuck. Procrastinating on significant decisions. Having trouble with sleep. Feeling overly sensitive to rejection or criticism in relationships. Drinking too much or smoking too much. Problems such as these can reverberate throughout your life and, moreover, might be traced back into your past.
