I run a group for parents of young adults who are not succeeding in life.
I believe in creating a safe, supportive space to understand oneself more deeply. As connection and trust evolve between myself and the client, a frank discussion about their identity, wishes, feelings, conflicts can be facilitated and understood. This can enable them make informed decisions regarding how to better navigate their lives. When a patient comes in crisis, I am also available as support, to help them return to a previous level of functioning. We try to learn the significance of this event, so as to use it as an opportunity to enrich the client's life.

I will challenge you, help you with your goals, and focus on safety, support, and progress. I provide therapy to couples who want to resolve difficult issues effectively. I offer psychotherapy to adults and adolescents and promote trust in self so that much of the work continues outside the therapy room. I view 'eating disorders' as expressions, not pathologies and will work with you to find a healthy voice. For anxiety and depression I utilize imagery, relaxation and cognitive approaches while integrating the past as necessary. Please call or email me with any questions.

I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, perfectionism, sport- or performance-related concerns, and burnout. I often see clients who don't feel "good enough," have family-of-origin or multicultural concerns, experience relationship challenges, or are going through life transitions. As a former college soccer player, I also have a particular interest in working with current and former athletes, who may need help with things like anxiety, mood concerns, managing transitions (ex. from high school to college sports, life after sports), athletic burnout, team dynamics, effects of injury, and balancing multiple demands.

Over the last 8 years I have worked with teens and adults struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, addiction, autism spectrum disorder, grief, trauma and schizophrenia.
My approach to psychotherapy is to help you achieve emotional stability and personal growth. I understand that anxiety and depression can greatly impact your quality of life, and make it hard to engage in a fulfilling and meaningful daily experience. With the mental health services that I have to offer, you can learn to cope better with past, current, and even future problems, so that you may achieve a happy and healthy lifestyle. It is my deeply-held belief that utilizing a collaborative, adaptable, and individualized treatment approach is essential in identifying the underlying causes of challenges facing my clients.

My goal in therapy is to create a safe place where you can comfortably identify, process, and work through the challenges that are making it difficult to build the life you want. I work with adolescents and adults dealing with life transitions, relationship challenges, difficulties at work or school, as well as those experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Sometimes people come to therapy because of a specific change, event, or issue they are dealing with and other times, you may not know exactly what you're looking for but suspect having additional support could help.

I work with teens/ adults struggling with anxiety, sadness, and difficulties related to gender identity, childhood trauma, or being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world by using humor and an honest, holistic approach in our work together.
You're not sure when it happened, but you don't recognize the child sitting in front of you or the person looking back at you in the mirror. You want to feel happier, healthier, and more confident, but nothing seems to work. You feel stuck in the past, experiencing difficulties with enjoying the present, making the future feel hopeless. You feel so overwhelmed that you can't stop worrying and focus on work/school. You wish you could find the right words to let others know how you're feeling and the struggles you're facing. You just want to feel empowered to ask for help when you need it, hoping you don't have to do this alone.

My clients would likely say I am down-to-earth and open-minded. 20 years of experience have taught me that respectful understanding is key in working with clients who seek to understand/explore their circumstances, proactively engage in their lives, and - simply put - feel better. My main area of work has been supporting adolescents and adults with emotional difficulties, traumatic events, decision-making, and coping skills for life transitions (school, career, "adulting”). I work in tandem with clients as they identify their challenges, needs, and goals. My approach while kind and interactive encourages self-reliance.
