I work with individuals, couples, and families challenged by anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, addiction and the changes of everyday life. While grounded in traditional psychodynamic psychotherapy, I also integrate interpersonal neurobiology and body-based therapies, including Neuroaffective Relational Model (NARM) for developmental trauma, Somatic Experiencing and EMDR. Often, insight alone is not enough to shift patterns we find ourselves stuck in and repeating in ourselves and our relationships.

As a generalist, I work with individuals with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, bipolar, and addiction, to life problems in relationships, trauma, grief, loneliness, anger management, stress and career choices, etc... Clients get results with me because my approach is practical, creative, and empowering, and I work hard to help clients gain new tools to overcome their challenges. I am a licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience providing individual, couples, group counseling, psychological evaluations, and teaching/training in university settings. My style of therapy is warm, genuine, attentive, and sensitive to clients' unique needs.

I also enjoy assisting in life transitions, loss, & anxiety within a framework of building skills such as mindfulness or communication.
It is all too often we miss out on life as it unfolds, in the present moment. Our thoughts, feelings, and memories often leave us distracted, reactive, and approaching life as though it were a series of problems to be solved. In truth, some of us struggle with presence and reactivity more than others. Neurodiverse folks frequently struggle to regulate strong emotions, maintain healthy relationships, and manage activities of daily living.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, perinatal and post-partum, self-esteem and relationships.
The decision to start therapy is a difficult one. My holistic approach is compassionate and interactive (and humorous at times!) and means that I take into account the unavoidable ways that the mind and body interact. We will collaborate to explore how to truly implement change into your life. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapies, yoga and mindfulness and hold a relational and trauma-informed perspective. Finally, I see each individual as unique with different needs and acknowledge the impact of systems on the health and well-being of my clients.

I address a wide range of issues including interpersonal violence, depression, anxiety, family/relationship dynamics, gender, sexuality, identity, grief/ loss, and challenging life transitions.
In my individual, couples, and family work, values of collaboration, mutuality, and connection guide my practice. I partner with clients to identify their own unique strengths that can be used as resources to foster growth and change. I am attentive to the role of early family experiences, cultural values, oppression, and stigma in shaping client's experiences. Particularly when addressing painful or traumatic areas, I attend to clients' emotional safety using mindfulness and body awareness. I believe that healing happens in the context of honest relationships and invite my clients to engage in open dialog about our work together.

I work with people who may be in life transitions, feeling stuck in patterns of living that are no longer rewarding, having difficulty moving past traumatic experiences, struggling with difficulties in work, health, and/or relationships, or who are coping with loss, depression, anxiety, a sense of numbness, isolation, or other emotional difficulties.
I practice contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I aim to foster an environment where new understandings about oneself can emerge. When this happens, links between current difficulties and adaptations made (sometimes unconsciously) in order to cope with past challenges can become apparent. Through our conversations, you might come to see how what once worked to solve a particular problem in your life is proving less helpful now. This process of discovery can provide symptom relief and also greater capacities for choice and change. My approach is one of curiosity, compassion, attention to emotional safety, and collaboration.

I founded the Centers for Cognitive Wellness in 2012 with the mission of providing the "what's next" to people diagnosed with cognitive challenges. Trained as a clinical neuropsychologist, I quickly grew frustrated that patients had few treatment options after receiving a diagnosis of memory loss or attention impairment, I started this practice with the purpose of filling the treatment gap for people affected by cognitive declines. I have been blessed to grow the practice while also authoring The Neuroscience of Memory and speaking regularly to professionals and organizations.

I work with a range of presenting concerns including anxiety, trauma, gender and sexual identity development, grief/ loss, relationship counseling, and sex therapy.
I believe that each client has a story to share, stemming from a diverse and unique background - and seek to hold clients in a safe, nurturing space that is truly their own. My conviction is that it is the relationship between the therapist and the client that is ultimately what heals, and when it works, it is immensely powerful. I am passionate about exploring ways to help clients discover their own resiliency and live more authentically in order to create the mental and emotional space to reach their fullest potential.

I offer collaborative psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, and substance use, using naturalistic research-supported approaches that enhance awareness, access strengths, and build skills. These approaches - which vary according to individual needs and preferences - include mindfulness, depth-oriented counseling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Existential Psychotherapy. Particular concerns may include worry, panic, obsession, procrastination, grief, esteem, frustration, habits, and/or motivation. The overarching model promotes psychological growth, transcendence of purpose-limiting "world views," and personal empowerment.

I also have a specialty in working with people with eating issues including anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating, body image issues and weight loss.
I aspire to listen, understand, and guide each person I treat through the problems that are getting in the way of feeling more happy and fulfilled. Oftentimes, painful emotions or difficult relationships are the catalyst for someone to begin therapy. I work with each patient to alleviate the pain they are experiencing on a day-to-day basis while we ascertain the underlying emotional issues that may contribute to destructive patterns. This two-pronged approach is helpful in order to cope effectively with similar problems as they arise in the future.

Do you feel overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or alone? Do you struggle with setting boundaries or expressing your feelings and needs? Were you a gifted kid now drowning in imposter syndrome? Are you the "strong one" or problem solver? Were you betrayed by someone you trusted? Are you grieving a loss that others don't understand? Message me.
Hi! Whether this is the 1st or the 15th profile you've viewed, I'm sending you the highest of high fives for seeking support while surviving all of THIS (picture me gesturing to the current state of the world). Adulting is hard and it’s made worse when we feel alone in the challenges we face. As a therapy client myself for many years, I am always cognizant of what it can feel like sitting on the couch. This experience feeds my passion to work hard to extend the same support and compassion to my clients that I have received from my therapist when I needed it the most.

Clients reach out for help for a variety of reasons: they may feel the loss of a relationship, be struggling with communication with their family or significant other, believe they are under-performing at work, feel depressed, anxious, "down in the dumps," lack self-confidence or may struggle with out of control behaviors.
Some clients come to me completely new to therapy, others have explored and worked on themselves for years, but seek a new perspective. I draw on a variety of theoretical approaches to understand a person and explore their perspectives on their life and their issues.
