Seeking mental health care can be difficult and daunting for some individuals, as well as finding the right therapist. My initial goal when meeting with new clients is to create a comfortable environment to get to know you better. My focus throughout therapy is to facilitate positive change, identify patterns that get in your way, and help you build a life worth living. Part of that process invites you to acknowledge your inner strengths and autonomy, while challenging yourself in new ways, even if it's hard. I truly love this work and feel extremely fortunate to be able to do it.

Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist who works with children, teens and young adults coping with anxiety, stress, low-mood, ADHD/executive dysfunction, relationship issues and life transitions. I work well with athletes, those who identify as high-achieving, and enjoy supporting the transition into adulthood. Many people I work with are looking to better understand and address the root cause(s) of their distress while also learning the skills necessary to improve their functioning, well-being or performance. I am currently only working with clients virtually.

In working with clients, I consider the whole person, their mind, their body, their spirit. These three aspects aren’t separate but are in dynamic conversation: chronic physical symptoms are connected to our mental and emotional states, our feelings of depression relate to how we treat and relate to our bodies and sensorial lives. I enjoy supporting people facing life’s challenges, who are looking for a somatic dimension to their healing. I specialize in helping clients navigate difficult relationships, cope with grief and chronic illness, process the pandemic, and manifest greater depth, vibrancy, and purpose in their lives.

Book with me now by clicking on my website. So many of us feel overwhelmed. We have expectations from parents, spouses, bosses, life stressors, significant life events & decisions that impact all of us. Unfortunately, this stress often leads to feeling disconnected, anxious, & distracted. Disconnection can bring on self-doubt, criticism, & a general sense of “Who am I?” & “What is my purpose?” no matter what age you are. You may need to slow down, gain clarity &identify what you really want,. Whether you are new to therapy or have previous experience, I bring a down to earth approach to therapy & strive to listen and understand.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

Asking for help can be daunting, even looking for help can show that you are ready for change. As a therapist I believe that a healthy therapeutic relationship is one of the biggest tools when searching for change. So let's do the heavy lifting together by using a client-centered approach and creating a safe space for you to be authentically yourself. Life has a series of changes that we don't often get a crash course in, let's make sure you are well supported during that change.
