I offer the chance for you to look inward and see the old patterns and beliefs that cause distress and hold you back, and to grapple with the big questions you're asking, or even feel afraid to ask. My approach is relational, process-oriented, compassionate, and of course, confidential. I draw from psychodynamic, mindfulness, DBT, and ACT frameworks.
In spite of everything happening within yourself and out there in the world, you’re looking to change the ways you relate to yourself and others. You want to heal relationships and grow. In our sessions, we work together to help make that happen, to make lasting change. Your journey is yours, but it does not have to be walked alone.

Training
I specialize in working with young adults, college students, and parents who are looking for belonging and connection in their lives. So many people right now are feeling isolated, anxious or overwhelmed, and are facing big life transitions, prolonged grief, or difficulty in relationships. In our sessions together, we'll help you develop deeper insight into your life while also looking to better understand the choices you’re making. Maybe you're wondering how you got to this point, or why you've made the choices you have. My ideal clients are looking to "do the work" to understand themselves and make positive change.
