Thanks for visiting this profile - indeed there are quite a few therapists to sift through when trying to find a good match! I've been a practicing therapist since 2009, and I enjoy counseling adolescents, adults, families and couples. I find that most people are searching for a therapist because they want to be happier. Perhaps this manifests through symptoms of worry or sadness, broken relationships, or simply feeling stuck or struggling to overcome something. Most of us want to be happier or for things in life to be better, and I feel honored to help my clients strive to achieve this. I truly believe it is possible.

You don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay. Maybe it's anxiety you can't outrun, depression that won't lift, or the weight of something you went through that still affects you today. You've tried to push through. You've tried to think your way out. Maybe you've already tried therapy, and it didn't go anywhere, or maybe this is the first time you're considering it. Either way, here's what working together looks like: we figure out what's actually happening, build a plan for it together, and adjust as we go, at your pace. My job in that hour is to help you understand what's going on and work through it with you, not just listen.

Full and not accepting new clients at this time. Do you look fine on the outside, but on the inside your mind is like a battlefield? Do you hide behind a smile but on the inside you are struggling? Your life is full—but often overwhelming. Between nonstop meetings, family obligations, and high expectations, there’s little time left for you. The stress adds up. The anxiety creeps in. And you may start to feel like you're barely keeping your head above water. But don't worry, you are in the right place.

Hello, I value good customer service and so I am doing in-person only. My clients appreciate this. It is the only way, I feel, we can spend quality time together. Healing the inner child is a process that combines work on the mind, body and spirit. If we focus only on one aspect of this process, we are continuing to neglect that which has brought harm to us. We are only healing one half or one third of our whole being. Being brave enough to consider psychotherapy is a step toward choosing to become a better person, (or partner) choosing to heal or nurture your soul.

With over a decade of experience as a psychologist, I am committed to helping adults and adolescents work towards better well-being. I provide a compassionate, validating environment for those struggling coping with painful circumstances (significant losses, grief, or trauma). I also help clients looking for useful strategies to manage intense emotions such as anxiety, panic, sadness, anger, or shame. I use evidence-based psychotherapies that have a proven track record for helping clients make improvements in as few sessions as possible. I value these approaches because I know clients are struggling and want to feel better.
