We all face challenges in our lives that we may have difficulty navigating through. It may be feeling depressed or anxious, experiencing relational/family conflict and grief, or adjusting to life transitions. Sometimes we need another person to help us along the way outside of our loved ones. That's where I come in. I strive to help you work through adversities, build upon your strengths, and empower you to create new, meaningful, and fulfilling chapters in your life. I specialize in working with individuals ages 18-30+ and couples.

Because no two patients are alike, therapy should be tailored to each patient, rather than trying to treat everyone with the same theoretical approach. I believe that a therapist’s job is to guide the patient as they learn to change the behaviors and thinking styles that may have once been helpful, but are now getting in their way. Most importantly, I believe it is a therapist's job to teach their patients the skills necessary to eventually function independent of their therapist, allowing them to eventually leave therapy instead of being stuck with having weekly sessions for the rest of their lives!

Infertility and pregnancy loss leave us feeling anxious and helpless about making the dream of a family come true. You may feel the rug has just been pulled out from under you, yet you are trying to keep it all together on the outside. You struggle with sleeping and focusing at work, and your partner thinks you are stressing yourself out. You want to talk to your friends and family but don’t want to be a burden. Plus, all they tell you to do is “just relax and it will happen.”
