I believe psychotherapy should be simple and accessible; theories are important yet your own experience is the best teacher. Similarly, connecting with my clients on a deeply relational level and developing an understanding of who you are is as integral to the process as the clinical training which informs my therapeutic approach. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who emphasizes existential concerns at the heart of the issues that bring people into therapy. Some examples include creating a more meaningful existence, exercising personal freedom/choice, and developing a greater sense of responsibility for one's growth.

Life can be overwhelming, unpredictable, and painful. Our lived experiences can influence the paths we take, but they don't have to define us. I work with clients who are looking to take a deeper look at emotional and behavioral patterns, better understand their personal needs, and heal from past wounds to create their meaningful life. My clients may struggle with issues including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, negative body image, trauma/PTSD, stress management, or relationship issues.

My therapeutic style is an invitation to openness: a space where we discover and welcome all that arises. I offer an honest, non-judgmental, and organic environment for forging a relationship of trust and respect. This solid base allows us to delve into your unique story, examining the intricate interplay between your inner world, immediate surroundings, and larger systems that shape your life choices and ways of living. Through this process, self-inquiry and capacity-building abound.

Making the commitment to begin therapy is often motivated by the need for support to better understand ourselves and our concerns, and finding the right fit with a therapist is a critical step in connecting with effective support. My approach to therapy is compassionate, interactive, and insight oriented - challenging thought and behavior patterns that have created obstacles to your well-being while supporting the development of skills to more effectively respond to emotions and decrease distress.

If you’re not living the life you’d like to live, if you feel stuck, anxious, or unhappy with yourself or your relationships, I can help. Sometimes the world and people around us feel like too much. Sometimes it is us who, deep inside, feel like we’re not enough. We might feel limited by people’s expectations, unable to know what we truly need and want. Maybe something happened along the way, even a long time ago, that still haunts you, making life and relationships harder. People come to therapy for different reasons and everyone’s journey is unique. We are all doing our best, looking for change, growth, and to live our best life.

I believe that healing in the context of therapy is, at its core, about having someone that will bear witness to our pain. I’m inspired by the idea that we are all bent towards growth, healing, and our own self-actualization; sometimes we just need a companion as we tap into that internal compass. It’s my aim to hold a safe and empathic space for you rooted in curiosity, rather than a pursuit of any “ideal", as you embark on your healing journey. I take an eclectic approach in the counseling room, utilizing Attachment Theory, Somatic Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Existential Theory, and Person-Centered Therapy, among others.

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. But, if you want to go far, go together.” Life is like an arena, and sometimes we want to throw in the towel. Sometimes we don’t see ourselves where we want to be in our lives or careers. We have habits we can’t break. Our relationships leave us frustrated. Or they don’t exist at all. We’re tired, lonely, and overwhelmed. Maybe it seems like the only one to blame is ourselves. But… We Always Have A Choice! It’s my mission to help you learn to take the reins of your life. Together, we will maximize your chances for success, your sense of fulfillment, and your freedom to choose for yourself.

My goal, when working with families, couples, or individuals, is to provide the tools needed that will create the change you are seeking. I am a strong believer that starting with small tangible goals will lead to a greater change. What makes working with me a rewarding experience is that while creating an authentic and safe place, I'm not an expert in the room. You are the expert of your own life, and I'm here for support, Not to judge or create pressure.

A good fit between therapist and patient is an essential ingredient in forming an effective working alliance, assuming the therapist has strong academic credentials. That is why I encourage patients to do their research. The best way to determine whether people can work well together is to talk. There should be no charge for an initial phone consultation to evaluate this. If after a phone visit it doesn't feel like a good fit, I will help you find someone who is.

It is human nature to move away from discomfort and towards pleasure. That is how we are wired. This becomes problematic when the ways we attempt to feel better and soothe no longer work for us, or start to cause bigger issues. Our emotional distress can end up manifesting in crippling anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, or a host of other emotional disorders. Becoming aware of our emotions can help us better navigate our needs and break patterns that are increasing our suffering. Through this work you will learn to respond to emotions in ways that help you find more peace and live more fulfilling lives.

I passionately and compassionately care for the emotional well-being and behavioral health of my individual, couple, family and group clients for over 20 years.

I always provide a totally non-judgmental, safe, and confidential space to help my clients deal with their problems, issues or crisis.

Hello and welcome! Together we can explore relationships, emotions, and identity; process events from the past; and build skills and tools for making meaningful changes in the present. I take a collaborative approach to therapy and want to provide a space that meets your unique needs and goals. I am intentional about attending to the roles that systems of oppression, power, and privilege play both in and out of the therapy room.

In the often-painful experience of symptoms, something speaks through the body that is hard to put into words. Dreams, slips of the tongue, and everyday accidents can point to the experience of something working in us that we do not know. In listening to you, I pay close attention to the unconscious which appears in these and other coded signs in our bodies, our speech, and our dreams, but only you can tell me about what these signs mean to you and how they relate to your history and experience.

I have had the privilege of working with early to mid-adults of various backgrounds and identities. I am passionate about supporting my clients facing loss, identity development, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Sometimes life catapults us into a new chapter, a new milestone, a new relationship status - filled with both challenge and promise - that we may not have asked for or are finding ourselves struggling with. Together in therapy, I collaborate with my clients to find meaning, awareness, and growth through experiencing the present and deliberately reflecting on patterns of the past.
