Sometimes the hardest step is reaching out for help when we need it. As a therapist, it is very important to me to provide a uniquely comfortable (and at times - fun!) approach to sessions.

We all have the tools within us to manage our mood, emotions, and relationships. My job is to empower you to identify and cultivate your strengths a...
Entering therapy shows strength, courage and a commitment to change. To look inside oneself is not always easy, but is always worthwhile. When considering a potential therapist, credentials and special training are important.

As a psychotherapist, I create a warm, safe environment in which clients feel listened to without judgment and responded to in a compass...

Therapy can help you find relief from distress and free up the “stuck” places in your life, the ways of relating to yourself and others that can feel self-defeating, limiting or out of your control. This can lead to distress that may come in many forms: anxiety, anger, emptiness, detachment. Yet these experiences are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain. Together, we work to understand all this and place it in the context of wher...

Equipped with deeper insight and stronger communication strategies, clients have a shot...
It’s far from easy, being in your late teens or early 20s. All eyes are on you, it would seem, as you feel like you’re expected to choose a career, form essential relationships and launch an “adult life”. You are leaving the original support of childhood, and your primary task is to gain life experience in order to know who you are and where you want to go. Yet college students feel burdened with the expectation to choose majors, excel academically and socially, and then to seamlessly emerge in...

I offer an integration of therapeutic approaches, including relational (focusing on interpersonal interactions), mindfulness (emphasizing awareness and atte...
