Great to meet you!

Life is full of challenges, big and small, that can be hard to navigate and can lead us to feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety or you have feelings of self-doubt that are causing you to feel stuck. Therapy provides a space for you to understand your emotions and how to manage them. My approach as a therapist is to create a supportive and validating environment. Together, we will work to uncover patterns of behavior or recurring thoughts that may be having a negative impact on how you feel. We will develop useful coping tools to help you make meaningful changes in your life.

My approach to therapy

I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or interpersonal relationships. I use a psychodynamic approach, and draw from both cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, to provide a tailored approach that allows you to explore your emotions and develop skills to manage them.

What you can expect from me

I am warm and compassionate, and my goal is help you feel empowered to navigate life's difficulties. I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about you.
