Every individual has the right to a healthy, well-lived life. The right to feeling whole, complete, balanced and purposeful. This concept of a well-lived life needs to incorporate all aspects of an individual: their mind, body and environment. When that balance has been disrupted, emotional pain and physical maladies can occur.

As we move through life, we develop patterns of thinking, feeling, relating, and processing to help us get by. Sometimes, these patterns serve us well. Other times, they can get in our way. In our work together, we will creatively and thoughtfully develop a space to learn about you - your experiences, your relationships, your thoughts and feelings and behaviors. Together, we will work to identify and untangle these patterns, trace their origins, deepen your insight and develop new goals. Through this process, many find a greater sense of fulfillment and clarity in navigating their personal and professional lives.

Over my career, I have worked with many folks who are in process of evaluating their lives, relationships, and values. This may be in conjunction with a mood disorder, questioning their relationship with substances, or seeking an understanding of the intersection of their identity, life events, and socio-political context. My hope is that we both bring our authentic selves into the room, acknowledging the inherent and invisible differences and privilege we each hold. You do not have to feel entirely ready for change to reach out for help. We all deserve support, exactly as we are.

Psychotherapy doesn't have to be a mysterious process. I try to work openly with my patients to lay out a path for easing their distress and engaging more happily and effectively in their lives. I seek a balance between exploring the past for insights while also working in the present to make life better. I offer an open, compassionate place to explore how memories, thoughts, and emotions affect and limit people in their current experiences. With those insights I support patients in venturing past familiar limitations to live a better life.

It’s 7am. You have only slept three hours, thoughts bouncing in your mind and a feeling of dread in your stomach. Or maybe your legs feel like cement, as though you’re walking through mud each day in a fog. Or maybe you simply feel spread thin, drained, too much happening all at once and the wave of it is making it hard to swim. My mission is to create a collaborative and healing space for you, one that allows you to learn skills that support your therapeutic goals - and helps you ride the waves that life throws your way.

Life rarely goes as planned. When you've been hit with a major life event, such as the loss of a loved one, an affair, or the birth of a child, you may experience fear, isolation, sadness, or anger. Although life changes can be a source of excitement and growth, they often bring up unresolved issues, including perfectionism, shame, and past trauma. If you want to be able to cope effectively with life's biggest transitions, you need a compassionate therapist who specializes in your area of need, so that you can find peace and joy in your life again.
