Great to meet you!

I help people love themselves more, quiet their minds, and embrace the lives they truly want and deserve to be living. Therapy with me will be challenging, fun, freeing, and honest without judgment.


I believe that we all have the ability to live full, rich, rewarding lives. We hold ourselves back through negative thinking, anxiety, and self doubt. I have extensive experience with many different groups of people and issues and tailor my approach to your needs and personality.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, trauma, and body image issues, among others. I have an eclectic approach that integrates my psychodynamic training with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness.


I am direct and open, and will guide you in making real changes in your life. I will give you practical tools and exercises so that therapy feels productive.

What you can expect from me

Through therapy with me, you will learn to sit with discomfort and move through pain to live a fuller life. You will feel lighter and be able to practice disconnecting from negative thinking patterns. You will hopefully see that therapy can be enjoyable, comforting, and not intimidating. I will work with you to change your inner dialogue if the one you currently have is not serving you. My goal is to help you feel a greater sense of joy and calm in all the big and small moments of life.
