Many are in relationships they find to be lacking and are not sure why. Others are dealing with gender identity issues. Many of my clients use substances to self-medicate their painful feelings and sometimes this results in dependence....
You pride yourself in having it together, but now you feel like everything is falling apart. You were looking forward to college and worked hard to get here, but now that you’re here, you feel like you just can’t get your bearings. Am I good enough? Is all this stress worth it?

Feelings of isolation and doubt are more commo...

My therapeutic approach is direct and compassionate. Patients often tell me that I “keep it real.” I tend to be more vocal than traditional therapists. I seek to help my patients better understand their experiences by considering family of origin, core beliefs, values and cultural influences. With this knowledge, I believe, it is much easier to identify solutions and change harmful patterns of behavior. My specialties include treating eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa an...

My approach is ideal if you have an open mind, sense of curiosity, a bit of humor and want to feel more at home in yourself! I see therapy as a healing partnership where we walk the path together. Be prepared to ask questions, dig deep, make connections, tap into multiple ways of knowing, and co-create a space of acceptance and dialogue. I'm really good at helping people find a place of belonging - starting with themselves. As a qualitative researcher, part-time faculty member, therapist,...
Starting therapy means that you've prioritized yourself and your needs, in order to achieve your best self for both you and those around you.

My goal is to help you stop surviving through the day and start thriving. I know what it’s like to endure these life stressors, have to put on a “brave face”, ...
