As a dual-trained cognitive neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, I take a holistic approach to treatment focusing on maximizing mental health and well-being for each individual, rather than focusing on “illness”. I specialize in lifespan treatment of anxiety, mood, and impulsive and compulsive disorders with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with a deep understanding of neuroscience I give patients a unique, comprehensive perspective.

Therapy can be challenging - it takes courage to look directly at parts of ourselves that we feel ashamed of. Going through this process with someone who gets you can be transformative. I'm deeply curious about how you see the world and work to create an environment where you can be, too. Maybe you have learned to cope with feelings in ways that are hurting you or your relationships. Maybe you're struggling with a tendency to isolate or hurt yourself, with self-hatred, with long-term patterns that you feel hopeless about. Every person has a unique ability to change & grow. The goal of therapy is to remove obstacles to your growth.

Feeling uncertain, stuck, or powerless? Do you find it challenging to express your thoughts, emotions, or needs? Maybe you're hoping to better understand your relationships, process life changes, or gain insight into your emotions. Many of the folks I work with come in with similar concerns, though many times these experiences may feel isolating. In working together, my goal is to provide you with an engaging environment for you to safely process your experiences. I hope to help you heal from trauma & pain, learn healthy coping skills, gain insight, and establish new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.

Life is complex, and you might experience a gap between what you want and where you are at. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, perhaps experiencing difficulty making important decisions, or feeling that your life is not moving in the direction you want; psychotherapy might be a space for you to evolve in the way you desire by learning about yourself and ways to transition your current circumstances.

We live in unprecedented times, there are many reasons to begin therapy. Whether it be a moment of crisis or longstanding issues. Therapy offers an opportunity to speak about your innermost concerns. If this is your story, I'm here to embark in the journey with you to help you process the struggles of depression, anxiety or finding inner happiness. Facing this journey can be challenging, but together we can take steps to bring tangible change to your life.

Do you find yourself constantly worrying about what others think of you? Your heart races, your palms sweat, and your mind goes blank in social situations. You're afraid of being judged, and it feels like you're trapped in a cycle of anxiety and self-doubt. You long for connection, but the thought of attending social events or meeting new people leaves you feeling overwhelmed. Or maybe you're experiencing panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere, making you feel like you're losing control. You might even find yourself feeling down, lacking motivation, and struggling to find joy in your day-to-day life. You're not alone!

Congratulations on taking the first step toward a deeper self awareness! I work with my clients to help them understand how personal challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction or trauma may be influencing their relationships, work, or daily life. My style is interactive, engaged, and non-judgmental while integrating the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual well being of the whole person. I also feel that it is important to incorporate laughter into the healing process! Once we can find the humor in our human-ness it becomes easier to forgive ourselves and others as we move toward more authentic happiness.

I provide a safe place in which you can reveal, explore, understand and heal. It is often a painful crisis that starts the therapeutic venture; the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, a frightening illness, children leaving home. Along with mourning what's lost, there is an opportunity to regroup and redfine one's priorities. I help clients find resilience in the face of life's challenges.

These are not easy times and so many of us are feeling anxious and overwhelmed. You may be feeling isolated, disconnected in your relationships, or struggling in your career.

During our time together, I will be present in an actively collaborative way as we figure out how to clear a path to the life you want.

Therapy is what you make of it. It can be a great space for self-discovery and improvement, or to process and work through difficult emotions. Sometimes, we just want to be heard, seen, and understood. As your therapist, my hope is to create a safe therapeutic relationship where you can feel free to be your authentic self. When passion, humor, and creativity are incorporated into sessions, it can truly nourish the therapeutic space and your potential.
