What do you do when you know the coping skills to use, but still feel anxious? You're able to go to work and "be functional," but inside, you're still on fire. Maybe you've been to therapy before, and still find yourself struggling to get through the day. I work with individuals who understand why they do what they do, and still can’t seem to get better. With a focus on "intellectualizers”, trauma, and chronic illness, I work with folks who are sick of coping, and want to start healing.
I don't believe that therapy is only about teaching you coping skills. That’s why I started focusing on the “why” behind people’s distress. I use approaches including relational therapy, psychodynamic therapy, drama therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to get to the root of your distress, and help you feel better.
I am currently accepting new clients! I'd love to get a chance to chat, hear about your struggles, and understand how I might be able to help. Feel free to take a look at my website, and see if we might be a good fit. If so, you can fill out the contact form there to schedule a consult call. Look forward to meeting you soon!

I focus on treating anxiety disorders and trauma, with a special interest in work with individuals navigating chronic illness. Rather than focusing on teaching coping skills, we'll spend time uncovering the beliefs driving your symptoms, and working to update these beliefs to actually resolve your symptoms.

My work is based in relational and psychodynamic therapies. This means that we will work to build a strong relationship to help us understand how your relationships look outside of therapy. We will focus on understanding why you do what you do and what is keeping you stuck. From there, I use approaches like ACT and drama therapy to help you make changes based on new insights.
