I am a psychologist specializing in CBT for anxiety, OCD and depression. CBT is an evidence-based therapy that is proven to help people overcome thinking patterns that cause distress and prevent them from living the life they want. As a scientist-practitioner, I am committed to providing evidence-based treatment, including CBT, mindfulness, ERP, and PE. However, science can only take us part of the way. Your expertise in your lived experience is needed to complete the journey to your therapeutic destination. For this reason, I will collaborate with you to tailor your therapy experience to your unique challenges, needs, and values.

You are brave, curious and brilliant but feel like you are an imposter and never good enough. You have tried people pleasing and a relentless pursuit of self-improvement strategies but can’t shake off the feeling of not being worthy. You long for true belonging, confidence and to live your most authentic expression by releasing old patterns that no longer serve you. You are not alone. I believe that we all have inherent within us expansive wisdom, and capacity to heal. We can't always access our truest Self because of past trauma, societal pressures and habitual patterns that keep us disengaged from our true nature.

I am currently accepting new clients. I offer Telehealth sessions and offer flexible weekday. I’ve had the most success with clients who have Autism, learning disabilities or making life transitions and are in young adulthood ranging from 18-30 years old. My strengths are connecting, supporting, and providing engagement and processing of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors into objectifiable outcomes in a safe and warm environment suitable for growth and change.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, directionlessness and disconnection. I utilize Western, more traditional modalities to address anxiety and depression, as well as Buddhist concepts and approaches to dive into topics such as lack of direction, struggling with overwhelming emotions, and creating an internal sense of calm and peace, regardless of what is happening in your family, at work, or in romantic relationships.

My aim is to provide a safe and private space where you can discuss and evaluate your concerns, while moving toward openness, greater self-trust, and an overall sense of wellbeing. I specialize in working with couples, individual adults, and modern group therapy.

You are here because you are feeling unhappy, angry, worried, anxious, panicked, or full of self-doubt. Or you are a couple in need of direction and guidance to work through conflicts. I have found that fear is often the unrealized dynamic that gets in the way of fulfillment and happiness in many areas of life. Are you experiencing a recent transition, stressor or crisis that has brought about pain or confusion, or maybe you are struggling with a longstanding challenge? Therapy is a means to uncovering existing strengths, and to gaining insights and new skills to help overcome the fears that often accompany these challenges.

Are you having trouble communicating with your spouse, your parents, or your children? Do you want to connect in a meaningful way with your family, friends and, dare I say, yourself? Are you having trouble in school, at work, or just figuring out who you are and where you want to be? I have been involved in the mental health field in various capacities for 20 years helping people organize their lives, find a self identity, and communicate and connect with their spouses and families.

I love working with both individuals & couples- mostly millennials & genZers, adults (18-60), teens (15+). My ideal client is curious to dig deep, wants to raise self-awareness, and is ready to sift through the pieces of life's puzzle together. I enjoy helping fellow artists/creatives, neurodivergent folks, & LGBTQIA+ folks. I specialize in issues related to low self-esteem, perfectionism, adulting, burnout, imposter syndrome, communication issues, relationships, boundary setting, gender identity and exploration, women's issues, chronic illness, invisible disabilities, ADHD and HSPs.

Thank you for considering working with me on your therapeutic journey. My goal for our sessions is to create a warm, secure atmosphere in order to nurture the strengths that you already possess. I use an integrative therapeutic approach based on building self-esteem and courage to help clients gain insight into negative thoughts and challenging emotional/behavioral patterns that often get us sidetracked.

Are you a busy professional or college or grad student dealing with personal, relationship or work-related challenges? As a licensed psychologist, I help individuals and couples like you who are facing difficult life transitions and changes, have experienced trauma or loss, or are dealing with psychiatric illnesses, such as depression and anxiety. Because I understand how hard it can be to ask for assistance, I respond to all email and voicemail messages in a timely manner to make this first step toward growth and healing easier. Please note, I tend to respond email more quickly than voicemail messages.

There comes a time when all of us need help finding the path forward. Sometimes we need a "reality check." Sometimes we just need someone to listen without judgment. Regardless of what therapist you decide on, you deserve nothing less than the latest treatment models backed by rigorous research. For years, I have helped clients from all walks of life bringing a wide range of challenges, including difficulties with productivity, impulsivity, extreme mood changes, anxiety, marriage/relationship problems, and more. I treat adults, couples, and families, and maintain a safe space to openly discuss gender identity and sexual orientation.

I would first like to acknowledge the courage it takes to identify a need for change. I would be honored to assist in your seeking and healing process.

I have worked with people suffering from depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and Trauma for over 20 years.

My passion is integrating positive psychology and a person-centered approach in therapy. I am motivated to help clients who have already started their personal journey. Perhaps you have already graduated from other therapists or accomplished some of your goals but are feeling stuck in progressing to the next level. I can help you achieve a higher level of belief in yourself than you originally thought was possible. I do this by helping you challenge negative core beliefs, realize authentic life goals, and identify your unique strengths and growth areas to work toward self-actualization.
