Licensed in Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia. Seeking help takes courage. As a licensed professional counselor and board certified art therapist I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate change. My approach is strength based, client-centered, and holistically grounded. As an art therapist, clients have the option to engage in art therapy. No experience with art required. The creative process, artwork, and discussion create space to integrate fractured pieces of ...

Something isn’t working. Sometimes, nothing is working. Even daily reminders that help is needed engenders worry that acknowledging problems will make them more real. We may wonder if it’s best to accept fleeting comfort from the ways we’re used to. Cold comfort feels better than no comfort. But if you’re reading this, a part of you suspects that just because it feels that way doesn’t mean it has to be that way. Life is hard, change is harder, but ignoring the call toward change is the harde...

I practice from the belief that humans are complex beings with amazing capabilities. Obstacles and challenging situations can block us from using our capabilities to their full potential, changing the ways we think, the ways that we live our lives, and the ways in which we relate to others. As a clinician, I believe that therapy can be used as a resource to for living out our potential. Everyone is capable of change, and I act as a resource for individuals in need to work through the limitations...

Our group psychotherapy practice offers help with anxiety, depression, relationships, sleep (including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia), eating disorders, body image, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Our clients tend to be people who are successful in many ways and feel overwhelmed, lost, alone, or in need of some self-esteem building. We particularly love working with college students because by nature they are figuring out who they are and want to be, and the wo...
My belief for therapy is that everyone has a life in mind, a way they want to be, a way they want to live. Sometimes there are barriers or difficulties along the journey to becoming our ideal self.

I use a variety of techniques that will help guide our work together. I love working with college students, as most are experienc...

You have been telling yourself and others that you are completely fine. You genuinely would like for this to be true but you are struggling. You aren't sleeping well and you can't focus at home, school or work because you are consumed with worry and fear. You find yourself nervous all the time, overwhelmed, exhausted, and quick to anger. The activities you once enjoyed don’t seem appealing, and you would rather just stay home. You want to feel joy again and have a life that is not consumed by...

I believe that embracing your true, authentic self is the product of healing the wounds and traumas of the past. Anxiety and trauma present themselves as memories that intrude while at school or work, negative thoughts towards yourself or others, nightmares that recur, stomach aches and headaches, and the feelings of guilt, shame, anger, and sadness. Anxiety and trauma symptoms can feel inescapable, and it can feel as though you are in quick sand, sinking deeper each day. As the mind ...
Going to college can be an overwhelming part of life that often forces students to neglect their mental health and overall well-being. As a younger counselor, I’m familiar with the difficulties that come with managing life’s challenges while attending university, and I understand that making the effort to seek help can be tiresome in itself. That’s why I do all that I can to provide a straightforward and fulfilling experience for my clients no matter what their situation is. I have a flexible sc...
Have you found yourself struggling with feeling overwhelmed way more than you would like to admit? Has your anxiety washed over you with no rhyme or reason, only to leave you feeling exhausted and confused? Transitioning back to "normal life" and having adult responsibilities is hard enough, but when you add anxiety to the mix--things tend to get interesting (and probably not in the way you would like). My perspective in therapy is that everyone has their own “coping skills toolbox” and it is...
