I believe the greatest gift a therapist can offer is full presence with a compassionate ear. Many clients seek therapy because something that was working for them is no longer working. Maybe you feel stuck, unseen, unheard, anxious, angry, or "enmeshed" in your interpersonal relationships. Maybe there's estrangement or you are contemplating cutoff. Maybe your values are being tested by your workplace. You have been here for a long time, but believed you needed permission to feel this way: "Just another year," "just a little more." In our therapy space, even if you take your shoes off at the door, you can bring your whole self.

Research tells us that, of all factors, the therapeutic relationship has the most significant influence on treatment outcome. My primary focus of treatment is to establish and maintain a genuine and collaborative relationship; one which allows room for growth and healing. I approach treatment wholeheartedly and care deeply about those with whom I work. You will likely find me to be warm, insightful, and transparent. Drawing from Humanistic Psychology, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Social Justice, my holistic approach to therapy is individualized to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient.

I see individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to provide clients a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship to talk, feel, heal, and change. Life challenges present us with opportunities for new chapters, new growth. Helping you reach your therapy goals is of utmost importance to me. You do not need to be controlled by the past, yet do you often use old behaviors in situations wanting a new response? Are you suffering from depression, anxieties, relationship problems, fears, self-doubts, or "irrational" worries? Together we will explore ways to help you live with more awareness, more freely, and with more energy for your present.

Everyone has strengths and vulnerabilities that need to be empathically recognized and understood for there to be realistic change. My job is to create a safe place where individuals and couples explore their current or long standing problems in order to find realistic solutions. A significant part of this involves carefully and mutually developing an appreciation of people's actual qualities and circumstances. I work with people in crisis or who sense they have patterns of living that could benefit from a clear understanding and want an expert and experienced partner to help facilitate their desired change.

Everyone comes to psychotherapy with a unique set of concerns; thus, every course of psychotherapy is different. Part of my role is learning how I can be helpful to you in particular. In general, I view therapy as a place for increasing self-awareness. Often, we don't fully understand why we go about our lives as we do - and why we have the difficulties that we have. Without adequate self-awareness, we tend to unwittingly repeat the same patterns. It is only when we understand ourselves as we truly are that we become free to choose new possibilities.

Sometimes life's many challenges can get in the way of us remembering how to deeply connect with ourselves, and as a result we can feel untethered and lost. Therapy can help us recommit to a path forward and to feel empowered to trust our own intuition and judgment. Therapy should feel purposeful and collaborative, and this philosophy shapes my work with clients.

You need therapy that will teach you concrete skills to help improve your life right now, not aimless therapy that only makes you feel better for the day. My typical clients are professionals who have come to realize that negative thoughts are keeping them from achieving their full potential at work and/or in their personal lives. Many of my current clients had tried therapy prior to seeing me and did not find it helpful as they did not get concrete skills to deal with distress.

Everyone deserves a life that they’re proud of and dare I say excited for–even you. If your life isn’t what you thought it’d be, if you have challenges you’re struggling to overcome, if you’re not adjusting the way you thought you'd be, or if you're just not satisfied and want more from your life, you’re not alone and getting support is completely okay. While finding and working with a therapist can seem daunting, the therapy itself doesn't have to be. Sometimes it can be fun and restoring, and yes, at other times it can feel vulnerable. Along the way, we'll find what works best, and I promise to go at your pace.
