My goal is to help you resolve pain, repair relationships, lessen negative thoughts, heal trauma, and feel better overall. I am down-to-earth and am comfortable talking with many different types of people. I am great at assessing the problem and helping you figure out what you want or need to get your life on track. I work with individuals, couples, teens, and families dealing with a wide array of issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, and trauma. Additionally, I have a special interest in helping Veterans and First Responders.

I have specialized for over 20 years in helping smart, successful men understand why their most important relationships are so difficult and then help them to move forward feeling more oriented, confident and secure. I bring my professional and personal experience to the table. I'm a daughter, a wife and the mom of a son. I bring my compassion, genuine care along with straightforward (but kind!) honest feedback designed to help you grow. I'll ask you to dig deep and explore new territory but we will also keep an eye on simple, practical tools that can help now.

It is my honor to help you on your journey. My role is to be supportive in helping you develop your goals for therapy including what it will look and feel like to be done. Each person is the expert of their life and I can aid in showing possible patterns of when things might have gone a little off target. I like to provide people with options for deciding what they want to work on and how they want to heal. It is my utmost concern to provide a safe place to experiment with those options and decide if they are successful or need some redirection. In general, everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy their life and to feel good about their life and relationships.

You might look like you’ve got it together—but inside, it’s chaos. Anxiety. obsessive compulsion (OCD) spirals. Overthinking everything. Burned out but still performing. You’ve read the books, done the podcasts, tried to out-think the problem. And here you are, scrolling therapist profiles, wondering if anything will actually work. Good news: it can. But it takes real work, not just good intentions. I don’t do vague nodding or “tell me more about that” loops that go nowhere. I’m an active, direct therapist who helps you name what’s actually going on—and then do something about it. I’m Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which means we’ll work with your internal patterns instead of fighting them. For couples, I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to cut through blame, shutdowns, and power struggles. You’ll both be heard—but I won’t let either of you hide. One of my specialties is men’s work—real conversations about emotion, strength, connection, and not repeating what your dad did. I also work extensively with queer men navigating identity, shame, sex, dating, and how to belong in spaces that weren’t built with you in mind. These are two distinct areas of focus, and I take each seriously. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and unapologetically honest. There’s room for humor. There’s room for contradiction. There’s room for all of you—and for the version of you that’s ready to live with less noise and more clarity. If you’re looking not just for insight but for real, actionable change—and you want a therapist who will support that and hold you accountable to the commitments you’ve made to yourself—we’ll probably work well together.

Good, compassionate, intelligent, and effective counseling can help you feel happier and enjoy your everyday life more. In my approach, we work hard together to understand you, and direct and support you to make positive changes, which will help you enjoy your life more and feel more cared about by others. We work on insight and positive behavior change. Supportive group therapy for relationship issues Would you like to have more friends, colleagues, and potential partners? You do not do work on yourself alone, but with a small team, encouraging and supporting you as you learn to change relationship patterns. You learn how to improve your anxiety and depression, and you work towards having new, closer relationships. You learn to express your feelings, learn to be assertive, and to feel more positive and better connected to others. The group is effective and cost-efficient. Free 20-minute interview.

In my practice, I aim to provide a therapeutic experience that is both compassionate and effective. I understand that seeking help can feel like a daunting step, especially when facing sensitive or deeply personal issues. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or burdened by challenges they fear are too complex or difficult to resolve. I want you to know that you’re not alone, and that healing is possible. My approach is highly personalized and collaborative. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution because I know every individual is unique. Together, we will create a plan tailored to your specific needs, strengths, and goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I am here to help you navigate these challenges with care and expertise. As a board-certified clinical psychologist, I bring a blend of warmth, professionalism, and insight to our work. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood. My focus is on helping you uncover the underlying issues, build resilience, and develop practical strategies that foster lasting change. I am deeply committed to using evidence-based methods while also integrating creative and innovative tools, like digital medicine and assessments, when appropriate. This ensures that our sessions are grounded in proven techniques and dynamic and adaptable to your progress. Working with me means partnering with someone who genuinely cares about your well-being. I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as we move toward greater clarity, healing, and fulfillment. Whatever you’re facing, there is a way forward, and I am here to help you find it. Let’s take that step together.

Are you feeling stressed? Do you wake up moody? Is your anger affecting your loved ones? Has your addiction isolated you? Is your relationship suffering? You can feel better and enjoy your life. Sometimes you just need a bit of guidance to find tools and techniques that help you. I shine a light on your toolbox so that you can find it and the right tools to take charge of your life.

As a licensed psychologist, I partner with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating life’s most difficult chapters. My primary expertise lies in the assessment and treatment of stress, trauma, and PTSD, to help young people process painful experiences in a safe, and validating space. Additionally, I specialize in managing symptomatology of Attention-DeficitHyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and provide actionable strategies to strengthen executive functioning, improve emotional regulation, and reduce impulsivity. Whether you are managing anxiety and depression, balancing heavy academic and work demands, or wading through a complex life transition, my goal is to help you build real-world coping skills. I blend evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Harm Reduction, Solution-Focused strategies, and Mindfulness, to empower you to leverage your natural strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and gain the practical tools needed to thrive.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that trust and safety are two of the most important aspects in building a strong therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I am willing and ready to walk with you through the process of facing what you are struggling with and helping you in beginning to heal so that you can regain a sense of peace, understanding, and acceptance. It is together that we will be able to determine what will work best for you in your healing process and begin the journe

I am a warm and direct psychologist. I have worked in many different contexts including internationally, and I love helping diverse people thrive. I work with anxiety, depression, relocation, eating disorders, difficult life events and relationships. I am an expert in short-term therapy for depression and anxiety, as well as psychoanalytic therapy. It can be difficult to find the right therapist. I recommend an initial consultation where we can discuss your situation, goals, and preferences and assess whether it is a good fit. Please visit my website for further information about my practice. Psychotherapy can be anywhere between a one or two session consultation to a treatment relationship spanning the course of several years. Short-term psychotherapy is usually about three months of weekly or biweekly meetings, and many people find they feel better and are able to sustain the improvements they have made after completing short-term therapy. Ongoing therapy can help you forge better, more intimate relationships and to leave with a stronger sense of who you are, a greater openness to life experiences, increased confidence, and improved awareness of what you think and why. It can be incredibly helpful and meaningful to develop a relationship with a therapist over a longer period of time.

My approach in treating various problems associated with anxiety is primarily cognitive-behavioral. Additionally, in-depth psychotherapeutic techniques are also utilized, especially in treating problems associated with body image. I believe that the process works best when it is a collaborative effort between client and therapist.

Growth is about using and building new skills, all of which take time, and nurturing. Growth is about finding solutions that apply to the situation and not just the general world. Both of these are elements of the hope. Hope is something we need to move us through the day, and it does require updating. We don’t live in isolation, which means it’s very easy to get tangled up and mired in things, situations, people, and feelings that keep us from growing. We need to understand them, so we can cut them away or down, to allow you to move forward with new skills and hope for living. We don’t learn to tie our shoes or hold a fork instantly. It takes care from those around us to do so, and it isn’t easy. It’s a skill I hope we can find together.
