TELEHEALTH SESSIONS now available! As a nation, we are being inundated with conflicting information, and you may find yourself feeling stressed, lonely and even overwhelmed during this time of uncertainty. Some of you may be thinking, "And I thought I was anxious before COVID-19!" You may be looking for help in better navigating your reactions, anxiety and depression, especially now as your emotional responses may feel especially strong. I specialize in both providing the "whys" behind these emotional reactions and the "hows" to promote lasting change.

Seeking help can often be scary and intimidating. It is important to find a therapist that is caring and compassionate. In my practice, I seek to provide a safe and comfortable space for individuals to share the most vulnerable parts of their lives. Life is full of difficult situations we are not always prepared to handle. Therapy can be a way to get the support and tools we need to better cope with things life throws our way.

I am experienced in providing evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. While I tend to integrate these practices, I understand that every client has a unique set of needs, and therefore, also adhere to other modalities in order to provide a more tailored approach to therapy. Regardless of the type of treatment provided, I firmly believe that taking a team-oriented approach to therapy gives the best chance for us to reach our desired outcomes.
