What's My Approach to Therapy?

Difficult feelings can be a gateway to personal growth. I work closely with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, stress, and life transitions. My style is warm, grounded, and direct. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns that may be keeping you from feeling at ease with yourself, your life, or your relationships.

My approach is holistic and personalized. I help you slow down, notice the different parts of yourself, and understand how past experiences may be shaping your present. This work can create meaningful shifts in how you relate to yourself and your challenges, moving you toward greater clarity, wholeness, and fulfillment.

I am a licensed psychologist, analyst, and clinical supervisor with extensive experience working with individuals and couples. A former adjunct clinical faculty member at the Wright Institute, I continue to teach, supervise, and lecture on a range of mental health topics. If you're curious about whether we might be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out.

My Practice & Services

I am happy to meet with you for an initial consultation at no charge. After that time, If you wish to continue coming to therapy, we will discuss my current fees.

I am eligible as an out-of-network PPO provider and can guide you through the complexities of insurance so that you can determine what your policy may cover.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I help people make sense of their emotions, thoughts, and relationships, and explore how past experiences show up in everyday choices. Together, we cultivate self-acceptance, inner strength, and a greater sense of agency so you can feel more at ease being yourself and creating the life you want.
