Using psychodynamic techniques, I believe in co-creating unique experiences and relationships, meaning that the structure of sessions is framed by what feels personally relevant to each ...
Are you ready to step off the Hot Mess Express, understand what’s holding you back from living the life you want, and develop new ways of navigating your world? I specialize in working with stressed college students who want to learn how to manage anxiety and tame overwhelming emotions, people who want to explore gender identity or who need support on their transition journey, and geeks of all kinds who don’t want to feel misunderstood by their therapist just because they have nerdy interests. T...
Mental health issues are often most noticeable in our relationships. Clients I work with tend to experience anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and self-esteem issues that feel especially present when they are with others. This can impact your dating life, your ability to find and maintain friendships, and your satisfaction in longer term romantic and familial relationships. I help clients identify painful patterns in their lives, then dig deeper to understand where they are coming from. After w...
My hope for clients is to not merely function but to thrive! I don't want you to forgive and forget your traumas. I want you to own them and break the shame that keeps you shut down.

I've dedicated my career to trauma and grief therapy working with hundreds of clients and trauma professionals in a multitude of ...

I work with non-linear thinkers who are searching for a therapist with intuitive wisdom who cherishes the divergent path. I specializes in connecting with ADHDers who have always felt different even if others couldn't tell. My clients are notoriously curious and adept improvisors, who are playfully creative, but they still feel perpetually out-of-sync with the world around them. They charm others with their insight and levity, and save the biting criticisms for themselves. So they end up feel...

Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, burnout and grief can be debilitating. The hardest part is taking the first step and asking for “help.” Most of us like to think of ourselves as independent, competent and “tough.” Asking for help and attending therapy doesn’t mean that we are not those things. At some point in life, we all struggle with painful emotions and intrusive thoughts. You are not just another appointment on the schedule and my goal is to build a ...

We can work together to reduce the "what ifs" and self-critical thoughts that can come with anxiety, panic, and depression. Everyone is unique, which is why I use a variety of skills and ...
