I enjoy working with CBT Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic/Attachment.
I started in this work because I found that people would naturally open up to me. Therapy is an extension of the core belief that we as humans require connection and to be understood. As a therapist, you will find me to be engaged and interactive in session. I work with a variety of issues including depression, stress, work-life boundaries, numerous mental health diagnoses, but at the core, a positive connection is what I would hope that you'll gain within our time together. I do this work because each person has a story to tell and positive changes to make. I would love to sit with you to find the pathway that is right for you.

Despite feeling confident and self-assured in most areas of your life, food and body image is the one space where you feel like you can’t get ahead. You have tried every diet out there and you are still struggling with your relationship to food. You keep telling yourself that if you just had the willpower and dedication, this wouldn’t be a problem for you any longer. As someone who is maybe a perfectionist at times, you try to double down on all of the “right things” diet culture tells you that you should do. But it’s like holding wet sand- the harder you hold onto it, the more control slips away.

People may seek out psychological help for any number of reasons. Whatever the concern, working with me will help to gain clarity around the patterns of feelings, thoughts and behaviors associated with the concern, as well as the context in which they tend to emerge. Once we are able to more readily identify our emotions and needs, it becomes easier then to identify and/or create pathways increasingly suited to meeting these needs, and, ultimately, reaching the goals most energizing, enriching and meaningful to us.

If you are in a moment of trying to navigate emotional pain, you are in the right place. Reaching out for support takes courage and wisdom. With all the demand on your time, energy and attention, there is an unreasonable expectation for you to have to take care of everything, both in your external life (work, relationships, finances, etc) and internal life (your emotions, thoughts and patterns).

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
