I believe that everyone deserves to feel accepted, loved, and worthy. As your therapist, I will discuss and begin to understand different aspects of your life. Together we will develop goals to overcome specific challenges for you to live a life where you feel more connected, hopeful, and fulfilled. While I work with clients of all different ages and presenting issues, a big part of my practice is supporting individuals looking to increase their self-esteem, process past trauma, or decrease levels of anxiety and depression.

Problems rooted in childhood result in low self esteem and can block your ability to move forward.
I am an individual psychotherapist who has been practicing for over 30 years. Because of my extensive training I am equipped to treat numerous conditions.

I provide a calming and affirming environment in which you are free to share your issues and problems.

I have extensive experience providing therapy to individuals experiencing challenges related to anxiety and self esteem issues, identity exploration, high achievement & loss of meaning, depression, trauma, substance use, stress, complex relationships, and compulsive behavior.
I offer clients the space, security, and encouragement that's needed to explore their internal world and how deeper parts of the mind can impact daily functioning. Working collaboratively using an interactive approach tailored to you, we'll identify present and pressing concerns. In the therapeutic process, unresolved issues or overlooked emotional needs may surface. Following your lead, I'll attend alongside you to whatever arises with warmth, compassion, and curiosity. My focus is to listen deeply with an open mind, creating a nonjudgemental space in which you may feel and say anything and where your own self-knowledge grows.

I help motivated clients who are anxious and struggle with self esteem.
Is the traditional 50 min weekly session not working for you? As a high performing person who has been in therapy before, you still struggle with your relationships and with your self-esteem. That negative core belief (I'm not enough; I'm unlovable, etc.) you have about yourself is still there and won't go away. You find you either overreact or under-react. Old thoughts/feelings, excessive anxiety, addictions, ruptured attachments, low confidence or depression has you feeling stuck, and you want better for yourself and for those around you. You want your inner world to match the goodness of your outer world. You want congruency.

Are you having challenging life transitions, a difficult time navigating as LGBTQIA or experiencing self esteem struggles?.

Are you going through a life change, feeling anxious, or suffering from low self-esteem? Are you a parent under emotional strain or navigating a child's challenging behavior? Is your experience complicated by gender, race, cultural, sexual or religious identity? Whether you are new to therapy or disliked past providers, I can help. Opening up about your thoughts and feelings can be terrifying, or shame inducing. With the right connection, trust and pacing, momentum shifts from avoidance to confident engagement. By integrating evidence-based and psychodynamic techniques, I offer a more holistic, authentic approach to treatment.

My intention is to help clients create the lives they wish for themselves. Living with integrity, agency and authenticity usually entails relinquishing deep seated habits of accommodating others. This often involves grief, depression, identity crises, issues with self-esteem, existential anxiety, creative blocks, life transitions and crises of faith. In addition to moving beyond the residue of past trauma, together we will identify narratives and patterns that are no longer helpful and will focus on what, specifically, YOU want for yourself in this life. I enjoy working with people in the arts.

From the outside, it looks like you have it all together: a stable job, a social life, maybe even a relationship. But when you're alone, self-doubt, anxiety, and dissatisfaction creep in. You catch yourself fixating on imperfections or past mistakes, questioning your choices, comparing yourself against others', and wondering if you'll ever feel at peace. It's possible that amidst the hustle, you've lost sight of who you are, where you're headed, and why you’re working so hard. Maybe it feels difficult to slow down, be in the moment, and enjoy your successes. You want to change but you're stuck and the way forward feels unclear.
