The most direct route to feeling better (higher self-esteem, less sadness and worry, compassion for yourself and those around you, and freedom from shame) is through knowing yourself in a deeper, more profound way. If you're looking for relief from depression and anxiety, tools for coping with grief, or hoping to build more loving relationships, we can find that in an atmosphere that's sometimes warm, sometimes intense, and sometimes lighthearted. We'll look at both your past, to see the forces that have shaped who you are, and at your present to see which choices are working and which are getting in your way.

My practice mixes compassion, curiosity and challenge. Through an approach tailored to each client (including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and strengths-based theories, with parts work and trauma-informed principles), I'm looking for ways to help you be kinder to yourself, work more effectively and form stronger, more authentic bonds.

Therapy works best when it both supports and confronts. My office is a space devoted to making clients feel safe and strengthened, without the fear of being judged. But it is also a space for exploration and provocation. We dig in to end pain, create meaning and bring relief.

I help clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and relationships. Using techniques such as CBT, AEDP, and IFS, along with a person-centered and targeted approach, we will unpack issues that may be challenging with the goal of figuring out what works for you as an individual. Together, we will examine past strategies and create new ones that bring peace, compassion, and relief.
