I believe that people come to therapy because they want to change their life for the better . With the current stressors in life that we are all facing I believe that the root causes of difficulty are developmental or situational, circumstantial, or sometimes trauma based. I work with individuals to lighten sadness, grief or anxiety, or to gain a greater understanding of one's self in a non-judgemental, safe space.

I was a senior in college the first time I went to therapy. It was time of incredible upheaval, uncertainty and change. Uncertainty can often spark depression, anxiety and relationship conflicts. I know first hand the kind of inner chaos that transition periods can create. As a therapist, I aim to help you find your footing and feel grounded as you navigate your mental health amidst a constantly changing landscape. I believe in a client-focused, strength based, holistic approach to therapy where together we work to identify and reduce both the symptoms and causes of distress.

I work with adults of all ages experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, relationships (romantic, peer, family), life transitions, and impacts of prior trauma. I also offer couples therapy to assist partners in relieving communication difficulties. My approach is based primarily in psychodynamic or psychoanalytic psychotherapy, a contemporary style influenced by psychoanalysis. We explore aspects of yourself that may be operating unconsciously as you are living your life and relating with other people, with appreciation for the ways that earlier life experiences and attachment relationships can influence us in the present.

What I find most beautiful about this work is how we surprise ourselves when we talk about our lives in detail. I’ll listen to you in a distinct way from others, and together we will build a clearer picture of what is going on in your life. As a social worker, I am trained to pay attention to the interplay between inner worlds and outer systems—the dialectic of psychic pain and social identity. You can expect me to wonder with you about our relationship, serving as a springboard for reflection. Our work can change your relationships with those in your life, and perhaps more importantly, your relationship with yourself.

You don’t have to know exactly what you want to change to begin therapy. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, or the life they thought they’d be living. You may sense that something isn’t working anymore, even if you can’t yet put words to it.

You're thoughtful and resilient, and you've worked hard for what you have. From the outside, you're the one others depend on — the one who's had to manage different worlds to get where you are. But underneath, there are old hurts and patterns that weigh you down. Maybe it's anxiety or depression you can't shake. Maybe it's a voice that says you're not good enough. Maybe it's relationship patterns you want to change. You don't have to carry it alone. Together, we'll work on healing those old hurts so you can stop just coping and start becoming who you really are.

Life can feel heavy—whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, body image issues, PTSD or relationship stress. Maybe you’ve been holding it together for others but feel exhausted inside. You don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a warm, inclusive space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, build coping tools, and help you reconnect with your strength, clarity, and resilience—at your own pace, with compassion.

Life’s transitions and daily demands can feel like too much, leaving you to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. You long for balance, ease, and a sense of belonging, but instead, you feel stuck—caught between who you are and who you think you need to be. In our work together, we will create a space where you can finally exhale. A space where you don’t have to filter yourself or shrink to fit others’ expectations. My goal is to meet you with warmth and understanding—not judgment. We’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that have shaped your experiences, gently untangling what no longer serves you.
