I also help clients resolve depression, anxiety, relationship issues.
Clients come to me feeling stuck, alone, scared, insecure and overwhelmed, not good enough. My clients walk away from me with more confidence, more clarity of who they are and what they need, more deeply attached in healthy relationships, with more ease and balance in life, more able to face life’s challenges with a sense of possibility and hope. Couples learn to change the cycle of interaction so they feel more emotionally connected and secure. I provide compassionate, focused, trauma informed and attachment based emotionally focused therapy to regulate and heal your hurt and create secure attachments- with yourself and others.

I am honored to have supported clients who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, gender dysphoria, disordered eating, mood and personality disorders, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.
My work is about hearing and holding stories, guiding others towards a deeper connection with their unique experiences and the meaning attached to them. As we tell our stories, the meaning can change, and in turn, we may change our experience. Integrating intuition and evidence-based practices, I see my role as a mirror and guide, helping you to identify patterns and stories that might limit experiences of deep self-worth, authentic expression, healthy relating, and overall wellness. I understand that not all stories are easy to tell, and I take great care to create a therapeutic space of safety so that you can reach your goals.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts that are impacting your daily functioning? Likely finding pleasure and comfort in your life has become more difficult and your self esteem and confidence has suffered making it difficult to communicate your needs.

My extensive training in the mental health field has made a significant difference in helping individuals and couples work through difficult times and gain better coping skills.

While this will mean confronting uncertainty, acknowledging fears, and changing behavioral patterns, the goal is to bring you closer to living the life you deserve.
Are you caught up in OCD, anxiety, or a specific phobia that is preventing you from living the life you want to live? Do you feel stuck in your own mind and overwhelmed by simply getting through the day? I am passionate about helping older teens and adults get unstuck from unhelpful "stuff." I offer individual therapy for motivated people who are tired of accommodating their OCD or phobia, can't avoid their anxiety any longer, and are sick of being trapped in their own thoughts. Our sessions together can be a space of exploration, personal development, confidence-building, and healing.

I have spent 15+ years in college student health and have expertise in providing care to young adults with a wide range of presenting concerns, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ issues, women’s issues, adjustment disorders, life phase change/life transition concerns, relationship issues, and personality concern.
As a clinical psychologist, my goal is to earn your trust and build a safe, affirming relationship within which we work collaboratively toward your goals. I firmly believe that the relationship we build is itself a healing tool, independent of any specific intervention we use to address your concerns. I bring a transparent, consistent-yet-flexible, and partnership-based approach to treatment. Accurate diagnosis is important, but you are more than a diagnostic label or list of symptoms. I strive to know you as the whole and complex person you are.
