The past few years have been a slog for even the most resilient of us, and seeking outside support can be a powerful way to care for yourself. I work with clients to address a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, challenging relationships, life transitions, and job stress. I offer support for those struggling during the perinatal period as well as in parenting in an increasingly anxious world.

As a generalist, I have experience working with a number of clinical issues and diagnoses, most frequently with relationship problems, mood and anxiety disorders, perinatal/postpartum issues and disorders, disordered eating, adjustment difficulties and trauma.
Everyone has the potential to change, grow and heal. I believe that psychotherapy can be a powerful tool toward those ends. Effective therapy requires an accepting and authentic therapist-client relationship, and I strive to create an environment filled with warmth, trust and understanding. I will encourage you to deepen your understanding of your experiences and emotional life. As most people enter therapy during a time of heightened discomfort, I also strive to quickly identify areas of concern, develop an approach that feels comfortable, and help you find greater fulfillment in your life.
