It is through our suffering that we gain strength and wisdom. As a clinical psychologist, I find it to be a tremendous honor and privilege to help guide people through challenging times. The tragedies and trials we all endure as humans allow opportunities for growth, yet often require us to face uncomfortable emotions and learn new ways of being in the world. I've worked with adults of all ages and a range of difficulties including grief, life transitions and crises, relationship problems, anxiety and depression.

I work with adults, college age youth, and teens.
We all go through things in our lives that are difficult. I believe that it is through these struggles that we have the opportunity to grow. If you're finding yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or you're not able to function like you'd like to, it may be time to seek the support of a therapist. Oftentimes connecting with another person to help guide you can be the changing factor in transitioning from struggle to growth.

Connection is at the core of who we are, what we’re passionate about, and the most meaningful relationships we have. And yet so many things can interfere with our ability to connect: anxiety, depression, grief, traumatic experiences...how we cope with these things may inhibit our ability to build intimacy with those around us.

I work with adults and couples facing a wide-range of challenges, including self-worth, eating disorders, complex/acute trauma, anxiety, depression and life transitions.
We often find ourselves considering psychotherapy when the things we are doing no longer seem to be working in creating the life we want. And while it’s not uncommon to experience some anxiety, sadness, doubt, etc., (because sometimes life just is hard), when it starts to feel terribly overwhelming, you don’t have to suffer alone. Within these challenging moments, there can be meaningful potential for healing and personal growth. Psychotherapy is an excellent tool to help you understand yourself more deeply, repair your relationships (with yourself and others), and offer relief in the face of difficult emotional experiences.
