Waitlist for new clients
My work with adults and couples focuses on a wide variety of issues including stress and adjustment disorders, relationship struggles, family concerns, and mood disorders (and many things in between)! My approach to therapy is client-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices and integrating holistic perspectives.
Deciding to start therapy is a big step and finding a therapist that you connect with can feel like an overwhelming process. My first priority when meeting with a new client is to establish a relationship in which you feel safe, free from judgement, and able to communicate.

For over a decade, I have worked with individuals struggling with a wide range of difficulties and acuity, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and personality disorders.

I prioritize creating a warm, non-judgmental space where my clients can increase awareness of their emotional and relational patterns, including how difficulties relate to our larger context and early life experiences. My clients express appreciation for my transparent, collaborative, compassionate, & well-informed approach.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important tool in therapy.
My approach to therapy is one of empowerment and self-discovery. I emphasize working with individual, couples and families in a collaborative environment to help them realize their inner strength and resiliency. With the use of self-exploration and mindfulness techniques clients discover how to overcome and work through the issues or areas of need that are currently affecting them. I place equal emphasis on the individual, as well as the systems in our lives and how the two of them combine to shape the person we are today.

With 18 years of clinical experience, I have worked with diverse client groups facing a wide-range of issues from depression, anxiety, trauma and substance abuse to coping with work-related stress, life transitions and relationship challenges.
Overwhelmed by workplace challenges and family demands? Overwrought over disappointing relationships? Overextended and unable to find a way to bring balance to your life? A new perspective, new insights, can overcome some of these negative 'overs', and I believe that, as an empathic and well-trained therapist, I may well be able to help.

I believe that individuals can improve their relationships and lives through insight and acceptance, and by changing problematic behaviors. I offer support and guidance by creating a collaborative, welcoming, and empathic therapy environment. The relationship between client and therapist is an important part of the work, and I pay close attention to this dynamic as therapy progresses. My clients are typically college students, adults, and parents looking for guidance. My approach is informed by Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapies, I also draw from other modalities to customize treatment to each individual's therapy goals.

Symptoms arise in the context of trying to adapt to something difficult in one's life. This may be an adaptation to a painful relationship, a work situation, or a physical limitation. Symptom relief comes with an initial understanding of the meaning of the problem, and then working with specific strategies to manage the problem differently. Our work will focus on who you are as a person and how your particular set of symptoms or issues have evolved for you in the context of your life as a whole.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
