I welcome the individual that is curious to understand the myriad of feelings, patterns and issues in one's life. I create space to be known and understand the self. Young adulthood is a time of discovery, to figure out how you want to be. Old defenses and coping skills may not be working as well. My professional interests are broad when it comes to the human condition including grief and loss, relationships and transitions. I work through a relational psychodynamic strength-based attachmen...
In these hectic times, we sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from loved ones, or "stuck" and unsure about where we are headed. Some of us even struggle with past trauma that continues to define our present. As a therapist my responsibility is to provide a safe and supportive environment promoting awareness, cultivating strengths, and encouraging lasting change. My clients would describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, open, and motivating. My style draws upon an expe...
Attending college can be a difficult transition including adapting to new academic challenges, living situations and relationships. Feeling overwhelmed is normal but talking to someone can help you put things in perspective and regain a sense of control. Whether you are depressed, anxious, facing a crisis or just looking for someone to listen, counseling can help. I have experience working with college students and will help you navigate whatever is going on for you in a trusting, non-judgmen...
Many people I work with describe their struggles with self-doubt, persistent worries, irrational fears, and "overthinking" tendencies, saying that they second-guess themselves and struggle to quiet their anxious thoughts. Often, these struggles are a result of past traumatic events that have shaped how the brain perceives the world. Other times, these struggles may trace back to unhelpful messaging from outside sources, which can result in learned behaviors, patterns, and ways of thinking that p...

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...
If you're looking for a space to work through the complexities of life with a non-judgmental ear and gentle patience, I'd be happy to help.

While these are my areas of interest, it is my goal to help navigate whatever comes up. Working from a person-centered perspective, a trusting bond and total acceptance is the basis of my work. It is my intention to understand yo...

In my practice, I use mindfulness techniques as foundational tools to help clients tune into the present moment and simply notice without judgment. Learning to pay attention on purpose helps us let go of unhelpful habits and behaviors, adopt new ways of moving through the world, view ourselves and others with more compassion, and connect more meaningfully with the people we love. My primary treatment modality is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I also have extensive experience providing titrate...
My approach is warm, perceptive, and clarifying. I primarily use the IFS model, which posits that we each contain an ecology of different parts that each have a valuable role to play within us. When these parts develop roles that are in conflict with one another, or with our external world, we can experience distress, confusion, disconnection, and shame. I work with clients to explore these areas with curiosity, compassion, and courage in service to promoting greater ease and sense of meaning in...
