I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the basis of long-lasting change. As a clinician, I strive to offer a safe space where no problem feels too big or small and all feel welcome. I am passionate about working with clients using a strengths-based lens to find the root causes of undesired thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while encouraging healing through empathy and compassionate support. I often practice through an emotion-focused, mindfulness, and feminist lens, although I incorpora...
Could you use someone to talk to besides your friends and family? I provide a welcoming, nonjudgemental space for you to explore your triumphs and struggles. College can be an exciting and rewarding time but it also can be confusing, overwhelming, and stressful. I am particularly effective with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. Because I am dually licensed I am prepared to assist you with any substance or mental health related struggles....
My approach to treatment pulls from a combination of humanistic, existential, cognitive, and mind-body integration perspectives. The specific treatment methods I use and the duration of psychotherapy will depend on your history, current circumstances, the issues we explore, and our mutually-established goals for therapy. I believe counseling is a collaborative effort, which is successful when an individual’s energy, courage, and commitment to look deep within matches with the therapy style and ...

You long to exude confidence and clarity, presenting an image of having everything under control. Yet, beneath the surface, you grapple with feelings of overwhelm, doubt, and self-questioning. You find yourself yearning for something more, perhaps feeling weary of insecurity, fatigue, or disappointment in yourself or others. It's possible that you can't recall a time when things didn't feel this way. Nevertheless, one thing remains certain: you're seeking a reprieve. You're eager to experience c...
In my practice, I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a context for people to feel heard, empowered and recognized for who they are. I meet my client where they are at and support as they explore and develop their own internal motivation for change. It is my role to work collaboratively with clients to build trust and create a safe space to recognize patterns through self-awareness and understanding. My hope is to support clients as they reduce suffering, improve insight, inc...

Finding a therapist can feel more overwhelming than continuing to bear the weight of stress and anxiety alone. Questions of identity, difficulty finding meaning, and navigating life’s transitions can often feel insurmountable on your own. Wondering if you’re going to show up to meet a therapist only to be judged, invalidated, or minimized can make you want to stop the search before you even start. My goal is to provide you with a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore and join with you in the h...
I am a neurodivergent psychologist who specializes in LGBTQIA+, gender-, and neurodiversity-affirming assessment and therapy. The areas of neurodiversity I primarily support are autism, ADHD, and OCD. Through telehealth-, home-, and school-based services, I meet my clients where they are. I work with young adults to help them explore themselves, remove emotional barriers, and fully live their truth. College is a complicated experience, and students deserve to feel less alone as they navigate it,...
I primarily work with individuals struggling with compulsive behavior, including sex/porn addiction, codependency, internet/social media addiction, and problem spending/debting. Addiction is meant to make you feel less. It provides temporary numbing for lifelong pain. You feel trapped, depressed, angry, anxious, guilty, and afraid when you can't stop. Recovering from compulsive behavior, though not easy, is possible and has been accomplished many times. But it does require a complete cha...
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...
Okay. Here's the thing. Nobody really knows how therapy works, or why some people get better with one approach and some another. What we do know is that if you connect with your therapist, and if you really commit to digging in and doing the work, healing and change can happen, and things can get better. And I can help you with that. I'll listen to you. I'll pay close attention. I'll meet you where you're at, with empathy and compassion and even some humor. And I'll tell you the truth. I'm gues...
