Do you struggle with anxiety? Does your motivation seem blocked in terms of advancing your career? Would you like to improve your relationships? Are there difficult people in your life that overwhelm you? What patterns would you like to change? Gain insight on what keeps you from feeling calm and happiness. I provide evidence based therapeutic interventions individualized to you. A licensed psychologist since 2001, I am experienced in helping individuals cope with major life changes and every day stress in their busy lives.
Practice areas are interpersonal relationship skills, intimacy, academic and career adjustment, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, stress management, and depression. I tailor therapy to your unique needs using established theoretical approaches (developmental/attachment theory, cognitive behavioral, etc). For convenience, confidential teletherapy is an option
Therapy with me is a collaborative process delivered with professionalism, warmth and a sense of humor. As your therapist, I strive for you to feel challenged and engaged, yet accepted, understood and safe.
