*** Currently full - I am only adding new clients to a waitlist for Jan 2025 ** Has life thrown overwhelming challenges at you? If you're suffering from anxiety, depression, loneliness, or general life transitions - my goal is to help you understand that your experiences are valid and worth addressing. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address specific needs and goals.
In our first session together we will discuss general policies for our time and I will gather more information about your presenting issues. My goal on the first appointment is also to build rapport and ensure that we are a good personality fit for each other. Without a good rapport and alliance, it may become difficult to discuss hard truths and uncomfortable topics as time goes on, so getting to know each other is a priority for me and hopefully for you too.
Having worked in the behavioral health field for over 10 years, I have been able to have a diverse set of clients with a diverse set of presenting issues. What makes me unique is that I focus on going slowly as we get to know each other. I want to ensure that as we discuss really difficult topics we are taking time to learn grounding techniques to help navigate the intense emotions that may come up as a result of sharing. I also take the time to send book suggestions, trackers, helpful videos, and journal prompts if necessary.
I love working with young professionals, mothers, individuals who are experiencing great change and transition in their lives, individuals who struggle with high-functioning anxiety, individuals who tend to intellectualize their feelings, and most of all - individuals who are ready to do some self-exploration.

I prefer to use a variety of treatment methods with my clients. I have received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). "One shoe does not fit all" so I like to take time to get to know my client and have a true understanding of their needs before committing to one specific modality or treatment intervention.
