We all reach moments of crisis in our lives when situations become too complicated or overwhelming to work through independently. Whether these times are related to an acutely stressful life event or a more subtle shifting of circumstances, I hope to provide my clients with the tools and guidance to work through these difficult moments. I understand that getting to therapy is often an intimidating process, and I seek to provide a non-judgmental and supportive place in which to do the work, while also challenging each person to see their thoughts, feelings and behaviors more clearly.

I am in-network with Aetna, Horizon BCBS, United, Oxford, UMR and Lyra. Grief is deeply personal. In times of loss, you deserve to be seen, heard, and validated no matter what shape or form it comes in. Maybe you recently lost a loved one. The stress of interpersonal relationships or career shifts might be weighing heavy on you. Or perhaps postpartum and adjusting to parenthood is harder than you expected it to be. It may not feel like it right now, but you aren’t alone — therapy is a safe space to share your story.
