Finding a therapist you connect with can be difficult. I spend time with my clients creating a nonjudgmental environment where you can be heard and validated. I bring warmth, humor, and commitment to each one of my clients.

My main areas of focus are with individuals, and couples, who want to work on issues related to LGBTQ+ and multicultur...

For many, college is the best of times..the newfound freedom to discover who you are and where you’re going in your career and your relationships and the sense of all that’s possible. But, for others, it’s also the worst. Why? Because this is also a time of existential crises. New freedoms bring up so many questions: Is this really the relationship or career I want to pursue? If this is such a great time in my life, why do I feel so anxious, stressed, or depressed? Why can’t I...

Imagine actually ENJOYING therapy. Imagine looking forward to therapy each week because your therapist "gets" you and works with you in a down-to-earth way to address your goals.

We love working with college students and are energetic, creative, and hands-on. We'll work together to design a personalized approach to address your specific goals. Our...
My approach is very down-to -earth and professional. I believe in the importance of humor and self compassion in our time together. Being transparent in therapy is crucial; meaning I will share with you why I am asking about certain things or suggesting certain ways of coping. Often times clients have had the same conversation with themselves and loved ones over and over again. I love finding a way to have a different conversation about what is happening in that person's life or in their ...

You are the person that people often describe as intelligent, resourceful, humorous, well-liked, talented; an individual that accomplishes whatever they set out to do. You strive to excel at whatever you take on & some may even call you a perfectionist. You can't seem to understand why, or how, you continue to feel stuck, overwhelmed, tense, or perhaps, even sad or hopeless. The facts suggest you possess many of the positive qualities others seem to admire, and from afar, you appear to be someon...
