I believe that relationships determine a lot about how we interact with the world - in both helpful and less helpful ways. Our behaviors, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles are reinforced over time by our experiences, families, partners, environments, and culture.

My approach integrates evidence-based practices shown to be effe...

When is the last time you really connected with nature? When is the last time you were able to slow down and just be? Often our bodies and minds hold the wisdom we are needing in the present moment. I find that moving and being in natural spaces inherently helps us tune into ourselves as individuals and ourselves as part of a web of life (and was gratified in school to show that research also supports this). My office setting is a garden with some woods for rambling when more movement is needed....

Searching for a therapist can be one of the most difficult parts of coping, healing, and self-empowerment, because it's the first thing you must do. You must force yourself out of your comfort zone and out of whatever routine you've had before, to take the initiative and embark on a new path. When we're at our best, stepping out of our comfort zones can be daunting; when we're feeling vulnerable, it can seem nearly impossible. No matter what prompted you to take this first step, I'd like to be t...

As we grow and develop life throws at us a series of experiences and challenges. We learn to navigate our environment and relationships through these experiences. As a therapist I have the utmost respect for the ways in which people have approached their lives. It is not my goal to tell someone how to live. My role is to provide a relationship and a dedicated time to think openly about your experience. Sometimes we lose sight of the meaning and spend time trying to convince ourselves of somethin...

I specialize in working with graduate students who are seeking a kind, sensitive, and curious clinician to guide them through the mental health rigors of academia. The journey of completing a graduate degree can be a stressor which exacerbates existing issues of perfectionism and anxiety; but it can also be a time of growth, insight, and self-discovery.
