I work with people suffering from anxiety, depression, behavioral or relationship problems.
In our lives, we may struggle with anxiety, depression, or stress. If you are feeling distressed from life's uncertainties, counseling may benefit you. In my practice, I work collaboratively with you to identify specific needs that you believe are causing stress and discomfort in your life. My approach is to be an active guide to help you identify your strengths that you already possess, and then utilize those strengths to reach your fullest potential. I utilize research based techniques to help increase your self-awareness and challenge your negative counterproductive patterns to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.

At nPSYGHT, we emphasize the use of psychotherapy, while supplementing it with medication as needed and at minimum effective doses. We incorporate neuropsychotherapeutic concepts whenever possible, meaning we recognize that advances in our understanding of how the brain works can inform how psychotherapy can be conducted. We stress the importance of general good health habits - diet, exercise, sleep, relaxation methods (meditation, yoga, tai chi) - in promoting mental and behavioral well-being.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of effective treatment.
If you are tired of things as they are and need a change - it's time to take that step! Have you felt anxious, stressed, sad, lonely, misunderstood, disconnected, and overwhelmed? Have you come to find that your view of yourself and the way you experience relationships prevents you from finding happiness or meaning? Having a safe space - and taking the time to reflect is crucial. Reconsidering how you view yourself - and the way you relate to those around you - can shift your perspective. This can lead to personal enrichment and healthier boundaries in your life and relationships.

I specialize in working with teens and adults experiencing issues around anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual identity, relationships, life stage transitions, self-esteem, and more. I recognize the difficulty in changing patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you and I believe the therapeutic relationship is key in creating desired changes. I place a great deal of importance on examining macro factors that may be impacting behaviors and emotions instead of blaming you for acting or feeling certain ways.

Are you tired of feeling disconnected and alone in your relationship? It feels like each time you communicate, both are left feeling hurt and not understood. Maybe deep down you feel sad but the anger and frustration is building. You start to question everything and fear conflict will never be resolved. You both feel stuck and are not sure how to get out of this cycle that just repeats itself over and over.

In therapy, I try to understand and accept each person. That builds the client's self-esteem. Then I work together with the client to find the unique solution to his or her trouble, whether it's depression, or anxiety, or relationship problems. Different people need different kinds of help, so I don't limit myself to one kind of therapy. I'm trained in several, so the client and I pick the methods we think will help him or her the most. The relationship is one of mutual respect moving forward to overcome an obstacle to the client's happiness.

As a "systemically trained" therapist, I enter the therapeutic relationship within a contextual lense.
When I work with a client, my hope is that the individual will experience a sense of understanding and hopefulness for change in their present situation. I believe that when an individual feels that the clinician is truly invested in "walking with" the "whole person" on their journey, the client will gain a new perspective on their movement in life. When I see individuals who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression, relational concerns, life stressors, and/or loss and transition issues, my main focus is to support the client in developing a hopefulness that positive change is possible.

Does it feel like you are just going through the motions? Are you struggling to connect with meaning and purpose in your life? Are you ready to make changes in your life but don't know where to start? If you feel blocked from reaching your full potential, or like the life you dream about is a world away, you're not alone. Being shaken from the path is a normal part of the human experience and re-finding your way can build you up stronger than ever. I believe that the counseling relationship is a deeply human and healing connection that reawakens ambition, purpose, and belonging.

You have good days and bad days. At times, the sadness and stress are overwhelming. Maybe someone important to you has died or you're struggling with a significant relationship or a life transition. Maybe others cannot relate to your loss & you're feeling very alone. You've landed here because you need to talk to someone about it. I specialize in grief and loss. Grief is a natural response to death & loss but this feels like a wilderness you have not explored before and you need some guidance. Are you interested in feeling less overwhelmed & more settled? You don't have to do this on your own.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
