I am an experienced clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults.

As a clinician I emphasize and value the therapeutic relationship, and work to meet each person where they are.

I believe that every person has a fundamental right to internal harmony, healthy relationships, and the ability to build a fulfilling and enriching life. In my therapy practice, I aim to guide individuals on a path of self-discovery, self-acceptance, emotional resilience, and growth by creating a non-judgmental environment where they can explore and address their challenges. I often work with individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal and intimacy challenges, grief, and emotion dysregulation.

Whether you are struggling with a life transition, feeling overwhelmed, or finding yourself stuck in unproductive patterns, talking it out with a non-judgmental person can help. My clinical training has focused on many forms of human suffering, however I have particular experience in helping people work through anxiety, depression, and experiences commonly called "psychosis" (such as hearing voices, alternate realities, suspiciousness, and extreme states). Additionally, I have extensive experience working therapeutically with people who are neurodivergent or diagnosed with "high functioning autism".

There are many approaches to psychotherapy. Some techniques focus solely on insight and history without targeting specific issues for change. Others aim to identify and attack behavioral concerns but do not pave the way for growth with empathy and compassion. In the former, patients feel soothed and understood but ultimately frustrated by a lack of change, not knowing how to break free of their problematic patterns of behavior. In the latter, patients can feel as though they are following one-size-fits-all instructions from the therapist and develop feelings of shame over the challenges they face, not knowing from where the issues came.

Sometimes it feels like we're moving through life on auto-pilot. With work and other stressors, it is hard to find time to slow down, to breathe, to focus on the present. I believe therapy is about letting go of the things we are trying to control and making choices towards a more fulfilling life. To facilitate this, I help clients openly face life’s challenges and create lasting changes. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, and safe space for my clients to facilitate behavior change and self-exploration.

I am an experienced psychologist who is comfortable working with people of all ages and cultural backgrounds.

My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative, and I seek to create a treatment specifically tailored to each client's needs. My training in psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral psychotherapy, as well as mindfulness and health psychology allows me to creatively integrate all of these modalities in the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders.

I work with a variety of people whose active, creative lives have been interrupted by depression, mania, anxiety, mourning, and trauma. Psychotherapy with me is a process of guided expression. Thoughts and feelings, dreams and fantasies, desires and fears are given voice – loud, clear, and without judgment. The experience of formulating authentic verbal and emotional expressions can be transformative in and of itself. Also, as patterns in your way of being become clear, you can begin to consider alternatives, find courage to change, and experience what is commonly known as freedom.
