Among all the uncertainties of life, making the choice to start therapy is yet another risky plunge into the unknown.

I specialize in helping people learn to manage their anxiety and get back to living their lives the way they want.

I help students learn anxiety management skills they can use throughout their lives. I also work with people with depression and o...

There are two primary elements that make up the majority of the magic that happens in therapy: the quality of what is shared between therapist and patient and the elements that are carried forth and applied to life. The relational qualities that are necessary for the unfolding of trust and insight are natural aspects of who I am as a person: warm, non-judgmental, accepting, curious, and kind. Most have not experienced these elements consistently in a relationship, and growth arises naturally ...

I enjoy working with students who need support in adjusting to all the changes that school inherently comes with leaving home, performance anxiety, finding your people, dating, friends, study habits, getting ready to graduate and finding your next move etc. And through all of this, sometimes there is anxiety, depression, or trauma that makes all of the adjustments more difficult. Therapy can help you sort through all of that so that you have a clear mind and feel more at ease in life. Reach ...

Each person defines stress in unique terms that can produce anxiety; related to striving for perfection, or feeling alone, or persistent unhappiness with our appearance, or fearful, or overwhelmed by responsibilities. Sometimes one specific event can alter our lives forever; the loss of a loved one, sexual assault/abuse and rape, becoming the victim of violence and witnessing violence...
