I have been most fortunate to have worked in the field of psychology, human services and higher education for four decades. Initially, I worked in a college counseling center while maintaining a private practice. Later, I became a professor and chairperson of the human services department while continuing to see clients privately. Through these years, I was able to balance teaching students about psychological principles and techniques while practicing therapy. I have developed programs and courses in Substance Abuse Counseling, Health Psychology and Positive Psychology and have been able to use these methods in counseling.

I believe we possess an innate ability to heal. At times in our lives we need additional support to navigate challenges and strengthen our internal capacity to cope. Together we will strive to understand your unique story and identify areas you want to work on in our meetings. Often this means increasing your awareness of patterns, understanding your own emotional responses, and strengthening coping skills.

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and relational, focusing on developing insight and connection to understand and change patterns. I also utilize tools and perspectives from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to meet clients where they are and help them progress toward their goals. I have deep respect for the lived experiences and wisdom of each person, understanding that everyone inhabits a world with joys, pain, and sorrows that can be difficult to navigate alone. I believe that relational work can be crucial to both inner and systemic change.

I work with children and adults who are seeking stability through life events and stressors. My clients are ready to approach change and healing with a clinician who understands their hesitation and uncertainty. Life transitions and unexpected events can activate parts of us that feel disorganized, fearful, and lost. You don’t have to figure out the hardest moments of your life alone. I can be reflective and curious alongside you through these life transitions that often can be hard to navigate.

I am an expressive art therapist, I work primarily with neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ people who struggle to feel seen and validated in the healthcare system and American capitalist systems at large. I enjoy working with people who are seeking a therapist with overlapping lived experiences. I highly value feedback and open communication with clients. In my opinion, the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of good therapy and mutual respect is critical to that. I love working with many age groups ranging from teens to adults.

I believe there are many ways to bring about change, and work collaboratively with clients to identify the ways that will work best for them. My approach to therapy is integrative, incorporating relational, psychodynamic and strengths-based perspectives, as well as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions. I am committed to understanding clients within their cultural contexts, and pay close attention to the impact of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and, when relevant, religion on development and identity.

My orientation is focused on seeing an individual within the context of their family, their work, their community. I will be a compassionate listener. But therapy requires more than compassionate listening. To have effective therapy is to be challenged in the way we think, feel, and live. My clinical style is to find solutions while staying rooted in compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with college-age individuals and young professionals.

Therapy can provide a safe, collaborative space to share and examine your most sensitive problems. Together we can work to understand what gets in the way, how longstanding patterns, and your emotional experience impacts your relationships and functioning in day-to-day life. I specialize in issues related to depression, anxiety, relationships, and low self-esteem. I work with patients in once weekly sessions and sometimes on a more frequent basis, given my belief that change requires a deep commitment and consistency.
