Hello! I enjoy working with undergrad and graduate students to help them gain insight, develop understanding, and change behaviors. I conceptualize from a psychodynamic perspective but also utilize cognitive behavioral techniques as needed. Therapy can at times be difficult, but I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship, throw in a little humor, and always aim to create a safe space where clients can explore emotions and develop their own voice....

Patients often come to me wondering whether the emotional problems they are experiencing are due to a recognizable disorder and whether they may respond to appropriate medication. Often they have been treated unsuccessfully in the past. They expect and receive a clear explanation and discussion of the rationale for the treatments available, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. They expect this to happen in an empathic atmosphere with someone who spends the time to get to know them in th...

I believe in forming collaborative relationships with the people I work with. I strive to help you understand yourself better so that you can make meaningful change in your life. My goal is to help you form strategies and ways of thinking that can be translated from the therapy room to eve...
I work with students experiencing difficulties with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, low motivation, grief and loss, OCD, relationship problems and trauma. I have found that a helpful starting point is to do this as a team. We build on skills you already have, learn new skills and develop understanding of who you are and what kind of life you want to live. Then we figure out what barriers are getting in the way and how to overcome. Of course that's a general idea and we can shift things aro...

Have you ever found yourself saying or doing something when frustrated, angry, or afraid, then thinking: “Why did I do/say that?! That’s not me!” There's a reason for that, and I can help you find it. For some of us, our childhood was not a safe place. We did not feel safe, cared for, wanted, nurtured, seen or heard. We formed beliefs about ourselves and protective behaviors that made sense at the time, but as adults, they're getting in the way of happy, productive lives. I specialize in ...

People say "you are too sensitive" when you share how you feel. Your family and heritage are important to you but there is tension. It's hard to feel relaxed in your body. At times you feel restless and at other times stiff and numb. Feeling balanced is tough. At times, you feel hopeless. You don't like how you tend to replay conversations in your mind. There are too many negative and anxious thoughts that come. Thank you for your interest in my practice! One main strategy to help you with ...
