I help people get their unhelpful thoughts out of their way. Your thoughts keep throwing useless “solutions” at you that never really work and sometimes even make things worse. Your mind may even come up with new problems that do not exist with thousands of “what if” scenarios - as if it’s getting paid by the minute to work against you. It can be frustrating and stressful to go through this same loop day after day. I get why you are ready to try something new. I can help you build the skills you need to respond to difficult thoughts in healthy and effective ways.

My treatment approach focuses on providing services that are tailored to meet each client’s individual needs by integrating a range of therapeutic modalities.

I was in NY for the past 20 years and working at Columbia. I have transitioned to NC within the past few months in hopes to enjoy the slower pace and the sunshine. I believe reaching out to a therapist is one of the hardest things to do because of the stigma. My goal is to provide a caring, nonjudgmental space for you to express your true feelings of anger, depression, anxiety or even addiction. I believe your past unconsciously impacts your future and with a little patience, empathy and understanding can lead to a happier you!

My philosophy of therapy is that people sometimes get to a point in life where they can no longer tolerate old ways of dealing with problems (i.e. substance abuse, avoidance, blaming, hiding, etc). No matter how big or how small those problems are, you may need to establish new ways of coping. I strongly believe that people can begin to recover from many mental health issues by setting their sights on the life they want, rather than continuing to run from the life they don't want. If you feel like you've been living in darkness, and want to feel the light on your face (or in your heart) again; I suggest you consider therapy.

Asking for help and seeking treatment is hard! You're longing to feel more understood, less isolated, and more at home in your body. You're ready to enjoy more of your life and worry less. You don't want to compare yourself to others any longer. People have told you to "shake it off," "get over it," "you shouldn't feel this way." You're tired of being told how you should feel and that it's not okay TO feel, to begin with. There is enough space for ALL of your feelings and experience here; all parts of you are welcome.

Best way to contact me is through email. Some things in life can feel really big and overwhelming. Working with a therapist can help you develop skills to make those 'big' things feel much less daunting. Taking a person-centered, humanistic approach to therapy is important because everybody has a unique story, identity, culture, and goal. As your therapist, my role is to help you discover what works for YOU, in the context of your own life. I am here to help you unpack, understand, heal, grow, and ultimately build your own 'life toolbox' to use when things feel really big again.

Therapy can be about reflection, growth, self-discovery, problem-solving, or any combination of these experiences. At its core, therapy is about honesty: being more honest with yourself and others, and learning how to live your life in a way that honors your true self. You are smart and capable, but perhaps you are experiencing a struggle that has left you feeling lost, confused or stuck. You may be seeking a safe place to talk about what you’re going through and find a way to heal. As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert on yourself, not me.

Hello and welcome! One thing that sets me apart from other therapists is my warm, friendly personality and the radical acceptance and love I have for my clients. Many clients report they're surprised at how easy it is to open up to me. Perhaps this is because I value you as a person and your inner wisdom above my own expertise. In therapy, I like to think of us as a team, working together to uncover parts of yourself you may have hidden away, discovering patterns that may have served you in the past but now hold you back, and trying out new ways of relating to strong emotions or showing up in the world. We're in this together.
