If we feel anxious or awkward in groups, initiating conversation and/or making small talk, then everyday interactions with family members, peers, teachers, coaches, colleagues and bosses can be overwhelming. We might just avoid social situations altogether! I work with middle schoolers, high schoolers, college students and adults who are struggling with the social skills necessary to finish school, get a job, make friends and find a life partner.

I work with adults (19+) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, post-partum mood disorders, grief and loss, difficult life transitions and struggles with body image and their relationship with food.
Are you wondering if psychotherapy may help? Many, many clients have discovered that speaking to another about their stresses and symptoms, in a safe and non-judgemental place, alleviates their anxiety or depression. This is because it is easy to feel overwhelmed alone by the many difficult feelings and confusing thoughts and because another mind and heart can clear the way for deeper understanding, support and healing.
I encourage you to take the step to call.

I work with senior's and caregivers who provide assistance for older adults.
I specialize in working with people in transition, individuals, couples and young adults. As a Generalist with an emphasis in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I tailor my approach to each individual I work with. I want to fully understand your story; however, I recognize it is important for you to feel comfortable. My first job is to help you become comfortable enough to begin sharing your story. Without a therapeutic partnership, it is difficult to make progress and build the trust necessary for growth and change.

I also connect well with young adults, and mothers managing stress.
We all experience moments when we feel down, confused, or lost. We begin to question how we ended up here—unsure if we even recognize ourselves or our relationships. We may doubt whether we have the tools to find our way out. Strategies that once worked seem to fall short, leaving us back where we started or feeling even more alone. It makes sense that you're ready for change and seeking a compassionate guide to help. Therapy offers safe space to rediscover clarity, curiosity, confidence, and compassion for yourself and others. Together, we can begin where you are, and step by step, move toward the growth you’re seeking.

Navigating family, health, love, and work can be complicated, especially when one or more of those areas begin to slip into crisis. You might struggle to connect with yourself or your loved ones, build new relationships, or manage new hardships. Through non-judgmental discussion and an in-depth examination and contextualization of your symptoms, we'll develop solutions for a more resilient, connected, and fulfilling way of life. I frequently work with those navigating sudden or difficult life transitions, relational difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity exploration, and upsetting medical diagnoses.

Do you prioritize other people's needs over your own? Do you avoid expressing your needs, feelings, have self-doubt, have difficulty setting boundaries, find yourself in toxic relationships and easily slip into a caretaker's role? You might have had difficult experiences growing up that shaped your understanding of relationships. Childhood trauma can affect the choices we make as adults resulting in anxiousness, loneliness, feeling overwhelmed causing a people pleasing response. If you are tired of these patterns, want to take charge of your life and are ready to form reciprocal relationships then you have come to the right place.

As a solution-focused psychologist, I work with older teens and young adults utilizing evidence-based interventions to help them overcome obstacles and live happier lives.
Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Often anxious and sometimes depressed also? Do your problems get in the way of what you want to do or how you enjoy life? You may be a teen or college student who is constantly overthinking. Or a young adult dealing with a life transition or relationship issues. No matter what you're struggling with, one thing is for sure: you are ready for some relief. You’re ready to worry less and feel happier. You’re ready to learn how to cope with the stress and struggle that does come your way. Most of all, you’re ready to be kinder to yourself and feel a sense of calm.

I help adults, elders (65+), teens (16+), college students, couples and professionals examine what’s working and what's not, identify unhealthy thinking and behavioral patterns, recognize the deeper issues behind them…and then determine and implement more effective skills and ways of being that will improve their wellbeing and quality of life.
Sometimes life’s demands, stresses and challenges feel like just too much to work-through, cope with, and manage alone. I work with clients who feel depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or maybe they’re not even sure what they’re feeling but they know something’s deeply wrong or missing in their lives. Others are experiencing a bumpy transition or feel confused, stuck or unhappy about their relationships, career, or future.
