I am a licensed psychologist specializing in therapy with children and adolescents. I believe we all develop "ways of being" in the world as a result of our innate temperament and early experiences. Psychotherapy and psychological testing offer the chance to look at these ways of being with a compassionate lens, honoring the value they have held in your life while determining whether they are still useful to you now. Through this process, new ways of being can emerge, leading to greater satisfaction in your life.

I believe that we all get stuck sometimes. We find ourselves in difficult situations and we don’t know what to do. Other times we feel trapped by our painful pasts. At times, we aren’t sure what the problem is, but we sense there must be more to life. Whatever the reason that brings you to therapy, we can work together to uncover and resolve what’s happening, clarify what matters most and help you to feel stronger and freer to live more fully.

Are you, your teen or young adult child struggling? Withdrawing? Anxious? Making dangerous choices? Having trouble getting along? For over twenty years I have been helping people work through their situations to think more clearly, make better choices, and ultimately, to feel better about themselves. Because trust and good communication between the therapist and the client is so important, I invite you to email or call me and talk about what you are looking for and my approach to see if this might be a good fit for you or your child.

Constantly struggling with food, body image, or weight shame is exhausting. It can feel like a broken record- the yo-yo diets, binge eating, feeling disconnected from your body, overwhelmed around food, feeling not enough and too much at the same time. You're over it. You're ready for things to feel easier- to reclaim your energy and to trust yourself more. Whether you're new to this place of questioning and frustration -OR- you already have a strong sense of self and body but could benefit from support navigating a world full of harmful body hierarchies, I'm so glad you're here.

As a person with lived experiences from within and outside the United States, I know the joys, sorrows and pleasures of living with, and beyond, preconceived notions of who you “should” be. You will find me to be a warm, caring and highly skilled companion on your journey in expressing your human fears, concerns, and hopes.

I believe that the quality of the client-therapist relationship is central to meaningful change and growth in therapy. Working together, we will create a respectful and collaborative space to address what troubles you. People come to me around many issues, including depression and sadness, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and disappointment, life transitions, sexual and gender identity, pregnancy and parenting, grief and loss, and trauma. I work primarily from a psychodynamic (insight-oriented) perspective but draw from skills-based models depending on individual needs or preferences.

Most of my clients are interested in what their inner world is trying to tell them through dreams, emotions, physical symptoms, etc. Anxiety, depression, anger, compulsion, illness, PTSD, etc. are the body/mind's way of guiding us as to how we need to grow. My clients want to discover, heal, and come to terms with their inner truth. My training and personal experience with verbal and nonverbal/somatic processes enable us to access the dynamic flow between the conscious mind and the unconscious. As clients learn to dialogue with the unconscious they discover their own truth. I am grateful to the unconscious for this guidance.
