Spring 2026 daytime openings available. As a psychotherapist I feel honored to guide my fellow humans in their emotional, relational, and psychological evolution. My style is one of authenticity, energy, and when called-for, humor! I work primarily with with individual teens and adults, and I'm trained in both short and long-term therapy methods. If you need immediate symptom relief, I'll help you find the right combination of tools and resources to tackle your day-to-day struggles. If you seek true ingrained change in your thinking, relationships, and behaviors, longer term therapy can create the fundamental change you seek.
We all experience times of feeling wedged into unhealthy patterns of thinking/feeling/relating. Whether we know the cause, we know something's just not right and we could use some additional perspective getting past it. Feel free to reach out and we can chat about whether I can be a good fit for your needs.
You're welcome to reach out by phone or email, and please note that email messages tend to reach me more quickly than voicemail messages. Thank you for considering my services as you or your loved one embarks on this powerful process of therapy.
