You appear to "have it all together," but deep down, you feel unsatisfied with your life. You feel exhausted by overthinking and persistent worrying. Maybe you've been thinking about making a career change or going back to school, but your fears are holding you back. Perhaps you've experienced a change in your life, such as moving in with your partner or to a new city, and you're having a hard time adjusting. Life transitions can be difficult and confusing to navigate on your own. The accompanying anxiety is just as hard, and can feel overwhelming and paralyzing.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience treating a broad range of psychological concerns. I help people create meaningful change in their lives.

I work with individual and couples who want to see and FEEL a shift in their lives. Some clients start therapy with a clear idea of what they want to work on including feelings of depression, anxiety, communication, infertility, somatic symptoms, trauma, etc. Others come to therapy describing that something just feels "off", and we discover the roadmap together. It's my role to help you establish clear goals for therapy which I will track over our time together. I value collaboration, authenticity, curiosity and safety in the therapeutic process, and work well with people who are open to exploring different techniques.

Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.
