It can help you traverse uncertainty, discover what nourishes and sustains you, and deepen your experience of your world.

I am deeply dedicated to helping you bridge the corridor between where you are and where you long to be. Together we will work to understand what truly matters to you so that you can live a richer, happier, more satisfying life.

Welcome to my psychotherapy practice. I know it can be stressful looking for a therapist and trying to find the right person for you. It's not easy to know who that may be and to start the process. I will try to help by saying a little about how I work and you can trust your intuition and feel if working with me might be right for you. In my practice I work with pre teens, teens, adults, couples and families. We work with everything that you bring into the room, together we invite exploration and go on a journey of self discovery and self understanding.

Life can feel uncertain and mixed emotions can make it difficult to know what to do. As your therapist, I want you to leave feeling heard, understood, accepted, and empowered. Sessions are centered around you and your experiences. Using a narrative approach, we work together to create a life narrative that highlights your strengths, history, and how you have worked to thrive. My role is to support you and walk alongside you through this time in life.

As a psychologist working with adults, couples, and families, I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety disorders, life transitions, and related difficulties. My approach is integrative, individualized, and some may say irreverent. I aim to help my clients create a life worth living and use therapeutic approaches that are supported by research. Because no two people and no two families are the same, I tailor treatment to my clients needs and circumstances. To help clients track progress towards their treatment goals, I use assessment to inform and individualize treatment.

Developing deep connections with others has always been my passion. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples on relationship issues, parenting, pregnancy and postpartum, and other life challenges such as anxiety and depression.
