In these unsettling times, it can be all too easy to revert to the comfort of the familiar. But before you act reflexively, ask yourself whether you can imagine acting reflectively and with intention. Our work together will encourage you to examine your automatic beliefs and default settings and question whether old patterns are serving you well. Experimenting with fresh approaches to challenging situations often leads to surprising new outcomes and allows you to reshape the narrative you carry about yourself, which in turn may shift your relationships with others.

People often come to psychotherapy because something in their lives feels off-kilter or unmanageable, and their usual way of dealing with problems is no longer working. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have experience treating adolescents and adults with a variety of issues including relationship difficulties, career anxieties, depression, body image concerns, family conflict, trauma and grief. I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore what might be holding you back while gaining the insight and skills needed to lead a more fulfilling life.

Whether you are experiencing situational stressors that have come to a head or long-term mental health issues, I see patients that are students, parents, and young or seasoned professionals that are seeking professional treatment. I approach therapy in a welcoming yet proactive manner for those seeking treatment for common problems such as depression and anxiety as well as those struggling with significant life changes such as dealing with past/present abuse or trauma, relationship issues, separation, divorce, loss of a loved one, or other life events that feel insurmountable.

I enjoy working with people with varied needs, but specialize in anxiety, OCD, trauma or PTSD, and grief and transitions. My clients are invariably intelligent, caring, insightful people who are wanting to make positive change in their lives. They are motivated to work together with me to figure out what that means for them, and figuring this out together is part of the important work we can do. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place!

I believe that seeking out a therapist is an immense act of bravery. It's a privilege to create space for people’s stories and to reflect their intrinsic strengths. With a background in medical social work, my heart lies in working with teens and young adults coping with chronic illness and the trauma, grief, and loss that often accompanies this journey. Among a variety of other potential concerns, I am also passionate about helping individual’s struggling with disordered eating and body image. I believe in the power of a strong and safe therapeutic relationship to guide people toward healing and wellness in all realms of life.

I focus on supporting people in create lasting change. I work most commonly with high functioning and successful individuals who find themselves struggling to manage Anxiety, OCD, or an addiction that seems to take the drivers seat in their life more often than than they would like. Additionally, I treat partners & family members trying to manage their recovery from betrayal as a result of someone else's addiction. Often, these concerns have roots that go back much further than present day and we work simultaneously on past, present, and future to tackle getting the results you want to see. My style is both warm and direct.

You’re self-aware and capable but feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re navigating divorce, loss, or a major life change and crave peace, clarity, and direction. You’ve done the inner work but want to live what you know. You long to stop over-functioning, trust yourself again, and feel aligned, grounded, and fully alive.

I'm so glad you're here! You need to feel safe to heal, grow, and fully engage with life. I create a safe environment for my clients to do so. I work with individuals of all backgrounds, and I am passionate about helping culturally complex individuals, Third Culture Kids (TCKs), global workers, and multicultural individuals navigate the complexities around identity, belonging, connection, and home that come with cross-cultural living and transitions. I know first hand the realities of all that is lost, and all that is gained with each transition, and the combined loneliness and connection of being in between multiple worlds.

As a therapist, I strive to create a collaborative environment – one that is safe, warm, supportive, and empathic.

Healthy, happy, and meaningful relationships take work! Whether they are romantic partners, family members, friends, or coworkers, these relationships directly affect our mental health.

I'm a therapist+musician who loves working with people on their journeys to healthier relationships and becoming their most authentic selves. I was raised fundamentalist and spent my childhood learning fire and brimstone theology and memorizing verses from the King James Bible. Needless to say I chose to leave the "sinners in the hands of an angry God" mentality behind when I grew up. The truth is, being hard on ourselves doesn't help us or anyone else. But compassion, love, acceptance and presence connect us to who we really are, and who we can become.

People come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, and worn out. My goal is to provide compassionate support to my clients during painful transitions, help them gain clarity, develop coping tools, and improve communication skills. Couples come to me feeling disconnected and resentful. I help partners learn new, effective ways to communicate. I build on couples' strengths to help them find a fun, passionate, and intimate way of living. Parents come to me feeling heartbroken and confused by their interactions with their children. I help parents heal their own childhood wounds so that they can parent in a loving way.

Life gets overwhelming sometimes. Feeling like no one really gets us or what we’ve been through is a lonely place to be. And sometimes just that one new challenge on top of everything else makes us wonder if we might need to reach out for help. Take the plunge. In our work together, I will help ground and guide us in the therapy process, but your needs and goals will remain the priority. I work with adults and offer a safe platform to look deeper at what challenges you face and what will help you overcome them. Our connection in therapy helps you explore and strengthen the connection you have with yourself and those around you.
