I consider it a privilege to sit with individuals who feel driven to take on the challenge of personal growth. It’s hard to face the messiest parts of ourselves. We tend to avoid this at every cost, often with behaviors and habits that keep us distracted and numb. But therapy is about waking up. It’s about committing to the work of undoing old patterns that no longer serve us so we can show up more fully in our lives. I specialize in working with adults and teens (16+) who struggle with anxie...

Most recently, I served as a high school mental health counselor. Flexibility and openness are two of my core values. Do you know what you value? Understanding what we care about most and what brings meaning to our lives is essential to living with intention and living well. I believe therapy is about exploring these...

I spent 25 years in the education system, so I know firsthand how college can be an exciting, wonderful time or an incredibly isolating experience. On top of schoolwork (which that alone can be enormously stressful), you might have work, personal goals, relationship problems, family stress, pets, roommate problems, all at a time when you really want to focus on figuring out who you are and what you want your future to be like. The modern university system is not set up to produce happy, well-adj...

Life can be beautiful, meaningful, and exciting. It can also be overwhelming, confusing, and deeply upsetting. Difficulty can arise when we are no longer living according to our personal values or are experiencing unbearable tension in our relationships without knowing why. We are often left to deal with life’s unavoidable twists and turns while sleep-deprived and overworked which causes us to be irritable partners, exhausted parents, disgruntled coworkers, and absent friends. I believe that all...

In therapy, we will work together to help you better understand your behaviors, o...
