In my counseling work I provide psychotherapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups. My clients include people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. My relational and existential approach helps me understand and connect with my clients. I believe that the intent of therapy is exchanging "symptoms" for "coping skills." To accomplish this transformation, we need to understand our past to shed light on who we are in the present, where we have the power to focus on present issues and make changes that will influence our future.

I have worked with young children, adolescents and adults.
I believe in meeting clients where they are emotionally and mentally. Whether you're starting therapy for the first time, or have tried many times in the past, I want to meet you where you are and work with you to explore the next steps. Perhaps you or your child is struggling with the demands of school, work or relationships. Perhaps you and your partner feel stuck in your relationship and crave a better way to communicate with each other. Perhaps you're ready to dive in full force, or perhaps you're just questioning whether or not you want to make changes. These are just some of the issues that can be explored in therapy.

I specialize in providing support to adults who are navigating mental health challenges, life transitions, or issues with substance use.
I love working with people who have come to therapy because they really want to change something about their lives that isn't working. Being in therapy takes a certain amount of courage, and those who show up openly to the experience and bravely start working are satisfying to work with. I'm also interested in those who can commit to having a real relationship in therapy. Based on my own personal and clinical experience, the development of a warm, empathic, safe relationship is key to therapeutic success.
