Great to meet you!

My strength is being present with you in your journey to wellness. I provide both medication management and psychotherapy, using psychodynamic psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and CBT, as well as mindfulness meditation methods. I am a cheerleader in your growth and provide the framework for you to reach your goals and live a more fulfilled life.

I can also provide medication management only if you choose to access psychotherapy elsewhere or if you prefer medication without psychotherapy.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to understand you and your goals - what are you looking to achieve? As our work together advances, many interim goals may emerge but the most important is that the tools you learn and your journey allows you to be fulfilled and happy.

What you can expect from me

I want to understand what has brought you here, what you have already tried, and what you are hoping for. I also want you to get to know me, since our work together will be deep and meaningful. We will see if we can develop a trusting relationship.
