Instead of chasing the latest health fads, consider making a meaningful investment in yourself. My focus is on creating lasting change and helping you build a more authentic and manageable life. I have experience in crisis intervention, working with diverse clients including adolescents, those facing domestic violence, and individuals struggling with substance dependency. I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Often people interested in therapy are stuck or overwhelmed by a problem they have been trying to resolve. Sometimes the problem is not even clear. Yet, almost always the goal is relief from the struggle along with a sense of some mastery over the problem. Having studied both philosophy and psychology for many years, coupled with my history as an Executive Coach, my goal is to provide a broad range of tools and support so that the therapeutic experience brings about relief and a sense of success.

I believe in working cooperatively with people to help them achieve balance, personal growth, and to reach their personal goals. Many people feel isolated and their anxiety or depression prevent them from being their best self. We all have the ability to learn, grow and reach our highest potential, and we cannot do it alone. Together we can identify strengths, work through challenges, and develop the skills to achieve a higher level of peace and contentment.

My goal in working with people in psychotherapy is to help them understand and become themselves, to help them make sense of what is happening within themselves and in their lives. I believe that this helps people enrich their lives and explore, and overcome, the various barriers to a sense of vitality. I have a specific interest in working with therapists and therapists-in-training in psychotherapy, though I welcome working with individuals from all walks of life, and I enjoy working with individuals of diverse backgrounds and identities.

The first step of any healing journey can often be the hardest. Knowing that you could no longer accept dissatisfaction, you've set out to find another way to live. By mustering your strength, you've made that first step by deciding to seek help. Healing can be a long journey, and sometimes we need companions on that journey. My therapeutic approach is to bolster your natural strengths and help fill any gaps in your skill toolbox to address the challenges along the way.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you’re managing stress, relationships, or simply trying to find balance. You deserve a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to slow down enough to reconnect with yourself.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, and/or uncertain? Sometimes it seems easier to just "go through the motions" in your daily life than taking a step towards figuring out what direction you are meant to take. Maybe you've begun to realize that the life you currently have feels different then how you expected it to be, leaving you feeling stuck and down. You want to start reconnecting with who you are and what is important to you. If you are open to change in any area of your life, such as physical wellness, personal and professional development, and communication within relationships, you are in the right place.
