Too many people don’t have the space they need to feel and heal. This can be true whether you’re the one struggling or you have somebody in your life who is. Everyone has a unique story, and you deserve the space to share that story and receive the support you need to learn and grow into the healthiest and most authentic version of yourself. I work with people to strengthen their sense of self and help them feel equipped with the necessary coping skills to manage all life transitions. I believe in venturing beyond clinical textbooks, embracing my own experiences and collaborative brainstorming to craft personalized solutions.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist who works with people to achieve a personal sense of well-being and vitality. I believe our life struggles are rooted in our unconscious. Due to imperfect childhoods, we develop defenses to help us cope. While we needed these defenses as children, they can become obstacles in our adult life, since they block our true feelings and greatest potential. I will actively collaborate with you to uncover these defenses and empower you to live a full, authentic, and joyful life.

Life is stressful. It sometimes feels like it's just too much to handle. Perhaps you are feeling tired all the time, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled in your relationships or job, or as though you are going through the motions of life experiencing little joy. You are not alone. Together, we will explore your unique situation and learn the keys to creating greater happiness and moving in the direction of your true purpose. I take an integrative, holistic approach including assessment of psychological as well as physiological issues that may be contributing factors. This is often key to true healing and avoiding medication.

Anxiety, depression, anger, insecurities, and trauma can make even our simplest daily routine seem daunting and prevent us from living a full, happy life. Addressing the issues that contribute to these symptoms increases self-esteem, improves relationships, optimizes work/school performance, and helps with over-all quality of life—but it does not have to be done alone. Therapy can provide you with the support and tools you need to overcome challenges in these areas and live your life to your full potential.

Eating disorders began rising at alarming rates over the course of the pandemic with little growth in the number of equipped providers. Many parents of children & adolescents have been left in the lurch, trying to understand what's going on with their kids & how to help. For those adolescents & emerging adults ready to confront body image and/or create a life worth living, finding a provider that understands eating disorders in & out can be a challenge.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you better understand, resolve and find solutions to the challenges and/or trauma in your life. Depression, fears and anxieties can dull our ability to experience joy and lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life. By applying complementary therapeutic approaches, we can unearth behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from realizing your true potential while maintaining and protecting all that you have already achieved. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, providing services in a private office in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere.

I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about helping others navigate the pressures and stressors of life. The world we live in can feel overwhelming, demanding and overly competitive. Our culture can be harmful when it comes to ideas about happiness, success and beauty ideals. My past work experience in the fashion industry and prior to that, being a Division 1 athlete, give me a unique insight into common societal pressures we face and the need to manage our mental health as a result. My goal as a therapist is to help heal and empower individuals to manage the pressures of life and find their own version of happiness.

Living your life with anxiety, depression, anger, or unprocessed trauma, not only can delay your accomplishments, but also prevent you from living a full and happy life. Specializing in anxiety and depression, I draw from several different therapeutic approaches, such as CBT and DBT to help you gain back control of your life and work through whatever roadblocks are holding you back. I believe nothing is unobtainable if you have the right support.
