I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. Reaching out for support is often the hardest step and I commend you for being here. Together, we will explore the layers of your life that have caused burden, stress, or sadness and work together to release you from their hold. I provide a virtual space of safety, connection, open expression, autonomy, authenticity, and collaboration. With compassion and understanding, I work with each person to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

I employ an integrative approach that blends evidence based techniques with a person centered perspective.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 18 years of experience. I treat adults of all ages and have a particular passion for middle aged to older adults. My therapeutic philosophy is “acceptance before change.” I believe that even unhealthy behaviors serve a purpose, that people are often doing the best they can to cope in a way that makes sense to them, and that my job is to understand where they are coming from before expecting them to change.

No matter where you are in life currently, you have undoubtedly faced challenges and difficulty. If you are coping with past trauma, you may notice situations in the past may be playing a role in your current concerns or significantly impacting your life and relationships. Feelings of shame, guilt, and worries for the future can hold you back from knowing and achieving what you want for your life. Regardless of what you have experienced, I believe you are capable of moving forward with courage and resilience. I seek to provide you with a safe space to share your story and to write them together.

Waitlist for new clients
I work primarily with young adults (18-30) and women on anxiety, social anxiety, self esteem, and life transitions. Does this describe you? You are the lonely one; you feel unseen. You feel deeply, and your emotions are intense. You are jealous of others who find it easy to connect, and you want what they have. When you seek connection, people disappoint you with their lack of authenticity. You love, but don’t know how to be loved. You once thought a romantic relationship or best friend would be the solution; you would feel whole. But you did not feel complete, and happiness started to feel out of reach.

Not taking new clients at this time. Making the decision to seek therapy is a strength-based step toward creating the life you want. Sometimes we hold on to old patterns that might have helped us in the past, but those patterns no longer serve us. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or want to learn new coping skills, our work together can identify thoughts that just aren't helpful and we'll work towards finding healthier thought patterns. Then we'll work on building resources that will help you maintain positive changes.

I often work with patients to examine longstanding difficulties, both with others and within their own selves. Such patterns often leave people feeling misunderstood, empty, lost, unheard, unseen, taken advantage of, stuck, angry, or resentful. Feeling this way can leave you feeling disconnected from and distrusting of others; even those who you love and want to feel close to. Many times, these pieces can be extremely difficult and even can feel impossible to share. And that's okay. We will work together to address what feels important to you and at your pace.

I specialize in psychodynamic, Jungian, and dream work therapy. My clients seek answers like you do. Despite their deep intuition, creative spirit, and profound sensitivity, life feels confusing and disjointed. When they first come in, they're overwhelmed, they don’t trust their instincts, and they question their inner voice constantly. It feels like their dreams hold significant messages, like some part of themself is crying for attention, but they’re unsure of how to decipher them. In dreams and in life, they feel like there’s always a hidden meaning, a part of themself, that they’re missing.

You really want to talk about it. You don’t! It’s too painful. Or maybe you don’t even know what you feel or what to say. Feeling alone there hurts. Bringing others into what you struggle with most can make you feel worse. It’s hard to not believe something is really wrong, if not with you, then with others. A sense of feeling trapped in this bind, especially as a couple or as a person with trauma, can lead to feelings of hopelessness. Why is it so hard to just to connect?
