The decision to pursue therapy is an important step. Working with the right therapist can be a valuable investment in yourself, and your relationships. As a psychotherapist, I believe the best results come from establishing a therapeutic relationship by getting to know you as a person - not simply as a cluster of symptoms - then tailoring interventions to fit your unique needs & strengths. I've been in the mental health field 25 years, and have worked with individuals, couples & families, treating a wide variety of clinical issues. I invite you to contact me with any questions, or to discuss your specific needs for therapy.

I enjoy working with teenagers and adults of various backgrounds. I connect with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, self-esteem, relationships with others, and trauma. I use a variety of techniques and modalities that are best fit for each person to help clients reclaim their narratives, deconstruct the systems that contributed to their current struggles, and embrace their inner strength. While our work together may involve some gentle challenges, it is always empathetic and collaborative. Together, we will help build the confidence and empowerment you are (and always have been) worthy of.

Are you struggling with treatment resistant depression, anxiety, or complex PTSD? You may have tried different therapists, therapy approaches, and medications, which allowed you to sometimes experience improvement to then have serious symptoms return. Or maybe you've never really had any significant relief and find yourself stuck in loops of avoidance, withdrawal, isolation, low mood, not enjoying anything, hyper arousal, disrupted sleep, panic, and struggling to connect with others. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy may help you to make significant gains and maintain improvement longer.

I value cultivating an open and trusting therapeutic relationship with the individuals I work with. Through a warm and collaborative approach, my clients are encouraged to build greater self-understanding and compassion for who they are and how they move around in the world. Together, we explore meaningful insights around defenses, thought processes, and emotional responses, and work to unravel reoccurring patterns that seem to get in the way of personal growth and transformation.

When life feels directionless and overwhelming, taking the first step toward therapy can seem daunting. Perhaps you’re wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, or fear of judgment, making the idea of being vulnerable even more challenging. You might be questioning whether therapy is truly necessary, or if it would even help at all. These doubts and anxieties are understandable, and they often stem from the very challenges you are hoping to address. I provide a supportive and empowering space for teens and young adults facing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.
