My clients end up feeling more comfortable in their own skins and engage in life, work, and relationships with greater confidence.

You have found your way here to feel better about the unique individual that is "you." Maybe you would like to see yourself in a more positive light. You could want to be less stuck or stressed with a relationship. Or perhaps you are tired of feeling afraid while it seems like anxiety runs your life. During times of uncertainty or change, It's normal for individuals to feel isolated. You are not alone. It takes courage to reach out for help, especially in the middle of struggle.

I am trained in using CBT, EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, and gender/identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation and grounding.

Are you finding it challenging to manage anxiety? Are you navigating a significant transition (i.e. becoming a parent, experiencing changes in your relationships, graduating school, etc.)?

As a clinical psychologist, I believe that no one should feel alone with such painful feelings. I invite you to contact me, so that together we can address the difficulties that are causing you distress and interfering with your well-being. Although the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, I aim to help you feel as comfortable as possible.

As a counselor, I aim to be a mirror for you to help you understand your thoughts, process your feelings, and see your patterns. Through building awareness of ourselves in a nonjudgmental place, we can learn to accept ourselves and make the changes we want to see.

Common focuses include self-esteem, adjustment, communication, empathy training, strength identification, coping skills, trauma, stress management and career/school issues.
