Welcome! I am a psychodynamic therapist who aspires to help empower you to live the life you want to be living. I enjoy working with female teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal thoughts, and self-injurious behaviors.  I am passionate about exploring past experiences, how these experiences influence your present, and how to best use them as strengths moving forward. My goal is to always provide a compassionate and non judgmental space that allows for exploration. While working together,I hope to supply the tools to help you move forward in life with a greater sense of identity and confidence.

Being an adolescent is challenging! Being a parent or guardian to a teen can be just as difficult to navigate. Finding the right balance of encouraging autonomy in your teen, while still providing oversight and guidance, is key to preparing them for the real world. Adolescence is a period of self-discovery and understanding their place in the world, especially in comparison to their peers. This can bring about feelings of stress, worry, frustration, confusion, and possibly self-doubt.

It is so difficult to find a therapist you connect with. I approach my clients with compassion, authenticity, and a commitment to helping them meet their goals. My ability to connect with clients along with extensive training and experience using evidence-based modalities is what I believe sets me apart.

Feeling alone while surrounded by people intensifies the loneliness. No matter how much you try to do everything right, you somehow always feel like you're looking through a piece of glass. Maybe you've kept a few friendships but lost more than you can count without any reason provided. You'd rather be home than go out because socializing is exhausting. You've been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, or more in the past, and while some symptoms have subsided with treatment, it doesn't seem to fully leave you. You've always felt like an outsider even when you try your hardest to fit in.

Finding and embracing an authentic self is one of the core missions of adult life. What too often corrupts this search, though, is the phenomenon of shame - a destructive force if there ever was one. Shame can contribute to substance use, depression, anxiety, interpersonal struggles, poor health outcomes, maladaptive trauma responses, and, at extremes, psychosis and suicidal ideation. Such maladies, when approached in the context of a compassionate and trusting therapeutic relationship, can be transformed into signs pointing the way toward a meaningful and fulfilling sense of self.
