Whether as adults, children, couples or families, I believe that through therapy we can become more open and accepting of ourselves, and can live freer, happier, and more satisfying lives.
Therapy involves getting to know ourselves better - our beliefs, our feelings and reactions, our relationships, and the patterns we live by. I work with people who want to understand themselves better and make more positive life decisions. Many of my clients find themselves continually falling into negative patterns with friends, family, partners, academics, and career choices. Others struggle with confidence, self-worth, and an incessant inner critic. My work with couples and families focuses on increasing effective communication, and finding alternatives to negative patterns of interaction.

I have worked with children, teens and adults for over 20 years.
I believe that every individual has the ability to make change, heal and grow. I will create a supportive environment where you will be heard, new skills can be learned and also practiced.

I want to make therapy work for you and know that no approach is perfect for everyone. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure, Mindfulness techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together we will decide what works for you.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who might be struggling to make sense of the complicated world that we live in. Despite our connectivity, it seems that we live in a time in which individuals and families are more isolated than ever before. I truly believe that we all need and desire a village — a network of support and care to help us when needed. It is my aim to be that extra form of support. I am here to help individuals and families navigate the more difficult hurdles and to find ways to work towards creating more peaceful, authentic, and connected lives.

I help children and adults of any gender find self-acceptance and belonging without shrinking themselves to fit in. If you struggle with grief, loneliness, or disconnection I want to help you find your sense of belonging and connection. As a relational, psychodynamic psychotherapist, I am interested in the whole of you—the parts you find acceptable and the parts of you that remain exiled in the shadows. We exist as embodied ecosystems rich with specificity, including the people, places, social identities, experiences, and beliefs which have shaped how we move through the world and our relationship with suffering, pain, and desire.

I hold eight years of direct experience in mental health, providing care for children, teens, families, couples, and adults.
The continual challenges to our values, relationships, roles, and purpose can leave us feeling unfulfilled, unmotivated, isolated, and overwhelmed. Therapy can be a calm and safe space to pause, reflect, and uncover new parts of yourself and build understanding of the environment that surrounds you. My approach focuses on the lifespan from child to adult and from individual to couple and family. I encourage growth in genuine self-compassion, re-alignment of personal values, and implementing healthy relationship boundaries for stability, confidence, and purposeful movement toward your goals and overall mental health well-being.

My patients are primarily adults but I am equally comfortable with children and couples.
I practice what I like to call relationship therapy. This means I work best with people who are psychologically-minded and want to develop a therapeutic relationship with me. Together (key word!) we seek to understand (another key word) the roots of your emotional distress. My belief is that these roots may be hidden or disguised, but never totally beyond one's grasp. Change is always possible.

I have an extensive background in working with BIPOC supervisees and mentees addressing a variety of clinical issues with particular specialties in working with individuals, children, and families in the LGBTQIA2S+ community, marginalized and underserved communities, and those who have experienced trauma.
I love to work with supervisees and mentees (supervision of supervision) as we grow, laugh, and learn together. The process of deepening knowledge, experience, and wisdom can be rewarding for both the supervisor and supervisee. I approach supervision and mentorship from a structural supervision perspective as I believe we all thrive with the right balance of structure and support. I use a good amount of humor and curiosity in my approach, as I believe the elements of fun, delight, and joy are important parts of the professional growth process. If we work together, you will be challenged and you will be uplifted.
