Are you tired of feeling "not like yourself?" Life is not always easy. We come across challenges in our daily lives that are hard to cope with, causing us to feel stuck, confused, overwhelmed, or on edge. Transitions, such as going to college, starting a new career, or becoming a parent, can be welcome changes but can also be hard to manage. My background in both Social Work and Child Development gives me a unique, holistic perspective that informs my practice. I particularly enjoy using my know...

Beginning therapy can feel like an intimidating experience. We have this idea of an unknown place where a stranger makes us open up about some of our deepest innermost thoughts… and then what happens? I get it. I’ve had those same thoughts about beginning therapy. But, what if I told you therapy doesn’t have to be hard or intimidating? I believe therapy should be rewarding and even fun (for real)! As your therapist, I will support you as we uncover what it means to have a life worth living and f...

Gifted individuals are characterized by their heightened perceptions of self and the world around them, but are often limited in their ability to process their intense reactions and emotions. I understand and can relate to the ...

Human existence is unique for each of us, and that means a uniquely tailored approach to therapy is important. Taking a one-size-fits-all approach negates the fact that we are naturally complex beings. My therapy approach is practical, compassionate, easygoing and down-to-earth. In my practice, I draw from my training in various evidenced based approaches to provide effective treatment for everyone I work with. That said, I also rely heavily on my own intuition to help guide our work togethe...

And that change is an opportunity to cultivate compassion and loving kindness towards ourselves and others. I prov...
Adjusting to college life can be difficult on so many levels. I can help with anxiety and depression issues that you've been struggling with for a long time or that are new to you.

I have special expertise in helping folks with body-focused repetitive behaviors (skin picking, hair pulling) as well as being training in cognitive behavioral treatment of insomn...

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who approaches work with adults through a Psychodynamic, Trauma- Informed lens. I view symptoms as expressions of unconscious conflicts and painful core beliefs that need to be compassionately understood and metabolized in order to achieve therapy goals. When we understand and learn to love ourselves, we gain access to choices about who we are and how we want to live that we never thought possible. It is an honor for me to accompany people on this journey. ...
