My areas of clinical focus include: LGBTQ affirming therapy and questions of identity; low self esteem (struggling with negative self-talk, never feeling good enough); relationship issues and communication (not secure in your relationships, difficulty communicating your thoughts); negative relationships with food and the body (HAES); anxiety, and depression.
Life is constantly presenting us with obstacles to overcome, and my goal as a clinician is to provide a safe space for you to grow and feel supported as you navigate those challenges. My work with patients is characterized by mutual decision making, trust, respect, and humor. When working with me, you can expect that I will take your feelings and concerns seriously, that I will listen attentively, but also challenge you to see things from a new perspective. I am drawn to working with people who are curious, self-reflective, and seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Previous experience has included but is not limited to assisting clients with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relational conflict, and adjustment to major life changes.
I have experience helping clients gain insight into a wide variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, trauma, sexuality, and gender identity.
I believe that people are naturally resilient, possessing a deep well of inner strength. Every experience, past and present, is relevant to therapeutic work, and I strive to create a collaborative space to explore the things that weigh us all down. I approach each session with empathy, curiosity and an open mind, and encourage you to approach your own relationships, thoughts, and day-to-day life the same way. My relational approach to therapy is strongly rooted in the psychodynamic tradition, integrating narrative, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to meet the specific needs of each person I work with.

Are you feeling stuck or unhappy at home, work or school? Using food to manage stress? Struggling with a relationship? Using experiential techniques beyond basic "talk therapy," I create a safe space helping clients remove the blocks that are keeping them from living a joy-filled life. Many of the approaches I use with clients supported me in my own process of healing from depression and an eating disorder. I now happily share these techniques with my clients. Specializations: Relationship issues, Food issues, Depression, Parenting, Anxiety. Couples therapy (all couples including LGBTQ and polyamorous couples welcome).

As a therapist, I feel privileged to be a part of my clients' lives and be able to witness the resilience and strength within each person I work with. We all have challenges and struggles that we need help navigating sometimes. My experience is working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, OCD, ADHD, and relationship problems. In my work, I try to prioritize co-creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported.

I provide individual therapy with specialties in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, relationship difficulties, and adjustment to life transitions.
No matter the reason you are seeking help, you may have the sense that now is the time to begin. Therapy can help you learn more about yourself, establish goals, and work towards improving your overall well-being. In my practice, I approach psychotherapy with an empathic drive to help people understand themselves more deeply. I embrace a balance between targeting the immediate problem and providing space to build a relationship grounded in trust, openness, and flexibility.

I use structured as well as collaborative approaches to improve coping skills and also utilize principles and techniques from mind-body practices, such as EMDR, Focusing, Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) and Mindfulness to unblock hidden fears and conflicts which may be contributing to deficiencies in functioning.
Life can be difficult at times, sometimes overwhelming. We may not trust ourselves to walk the path that is best for us, second-guessing and blocking our innate knowing of what is right and wrong. I work with adults, children and couples, providing a safe environment of warmth and unconditional positive regard, so that each person can have the space to discover who he or she is and what steps are needed to better manage conflicts. I work with those suffering from low self-esteem, trauma, relational and transition issues, chronic pain and addiction.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, eating disorders, or life transitions, we will collaborate to develop strategies that promote meaningful change.
Navigating the complexities of the human experience can be hard and confusing. Despite our best efforts to construct a life aligned with our dreams and aspirations, we often find ourselves confronted by waves of pain, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, stress, and guilt. In the midst of these struggles, it's natural to question ourselves and our behaviors, wondering, “What's wrong with me?” We feel exhausted as we desperately try to change ourselves, seeking any form of relief from the relentless tide of inner turmoil, yet it seems that nothing we do brings the desired results.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and work with a wide range of presenting problems (anxiety, depression, transitions, grief, etc).
I firmly believe that you deserve to live your life to its fullest, and I am eager to help you make strides towards what you want most. A lot of my patients feel overwhelmed by unexpected life events and fear about what happens next; feel ill-equipped to cope with pressing anxiety; or long to have more depth and connection in their relationships. It is possible to feel better. Therapy allows you to explore with curiosity previously avoided parts of your thoughts, feelings and past in a nonjudgmental way. A trusting relationship with your therapist can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.

But what if you could find anxiety relief without guilting yourself into finishing that self-help book or by being pulled into the latest TikTok wellness trend? You deserve to live the life you’ve always wanted.
You’re the one using use the bathroom, one last time...just in case! You avoid asking your doctor any questions because “they’re probably really busy.” And you wouldn’t dare send undercooked food back or ask your barista to remake your coffee with less sugar - “It’s okay, I'll just drink it - I don't wanna make them feel bad." You’ve tried to set boundaries and say ‘no’ but somehow, you always end up doing shit you don’t want to do.

As a person-centered therapist, I strive to ensure my clients feel seen, heard, and supported on their mental health journey. With focus areas of anxiety, depression, and trauma I feel that understanding is the basis of healing. Many barriers exist in accessing mental health care and finding the right therapist shouldn’t be one of them. I am a licensed professional counselor and received my Master’s degree from Temple University in Philadelphia. I've worked in university and group practice settings providing therapy to teens, college students, and clients in their 20s and 30s. I also provide Christian counseling upon request.

In my practice today, I specialize in working with both adults and teens, focusing on issues such as OCD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
From an early age, I knew I wanted to be a therapist growing up with an emotionally immature mother who struggled with addiction. I learned to distinguish between her issues and my own, but despite this awareness, I couldn't escape internalizing her insecurities. In my early teens, I went to my first therapist for depression. I will always remember the jar of cheerios on his desk labeled “Bagel Seeds!” Therapy helped me navigate various situations such as coming out and the sudden loss of my father. I deeply believe in the power of therapy to change lives.

Thanks for visiting my profile! I specialize in adults (college - 40's) dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship & career challenges, ADHD, OCD, panic attacks, and trauma.

I draw from modalities such as CBT, humanism, IFS, attachment theory & mindfulness (see Treatment Approach below). I'm also trained in Positive Psychology—aka. the scientific study of happiness. As such, I aim to help clients both (1) overcome challenges and (2) optimize passion/ well-being in their lives.

Someone made a mistake at work that you had to stay late to fix – no problem. Your spouse forgot to pick up the cake you reminded him about five times – all good. The kids knocked over and broke an heirloom vase – don’t worry about it. You are so understanding and forgiving with everyone in your life. But, if you make the tiniest error, you can’t let yourself live it down. You’re unsure why it’s so impossible for you to accept anything less than perfection. You suspect it may have to do with unresolved pain from your past. But you can’t let anyone know you’re suffering, so you pretend everything is fine and hope no one notices.
