I believe in the power of connection and collaboration, and I find myself humbled and inspired by the strength of my clients on a daily basis. I think that therapy should be pragmatic and focused on solutions, and always connected to the goals of the client.

I approach both my work with individuals and families from a family systems perspective, with a belief that gaining insight into the lessons we learned from our family of origin can help us to better navigate conflicts in our adult relationships. I have also developed a real love for working with people struggling with anxiety and obsessive thoughts.

I’m more than happy to answer any questions you have before getting started and look forward to working together!

Individual Therapy

The burden of anxiety is real and heavy to carry all on your own. I love my work with young adults, often creative and public-service professionals who are navigating changing relationships with family and loved ones. I find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be a helpful way to give people tools to get a handle on their anxiety and depression. Once people have some initial relief, an insight oriented approach (AEDP) is often helpful to make longer lasting change and to identify the ways in which past experiences are informing and influencing the present. 

Parenting Support and Family Therapy

In my work with families, I believe that strengthening a relationship between a child and a parent is often the most profound path to change. I work to help family members identify the “cycles of interactions” which are keeping them “stuck” in conflict. I have considerable experience in mental health clinics working with parents of children with a variety of issues, including neurological disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorders and ADHD, behavioral problems, anxiety and depression, and reactions to trauma, grief and loss, foster care/adoption, and divorce.
