The experiences of our lives, the good ones and the bad ones, shape how we interact with the world around us and build the relationship we have with our self.

I work collaboratively with you to examine the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that have formed through your experiences to support healing and growth towards your goals and values.

Making changes is hard. This is true whether you are exhausted and know something needs to change, are considering taking a stand against depression or anxiety, or are navigating through a major life transition: looking toward graduation, starting or ending a relationship, staying afloat after the loss of a loved one. You don't have to do it alone. Our counselors come from various backgrounds and modalities, but we have a few things in common: we believe in meeting you where you are and prov...

My work rests on a profound respect for the human capacity to change as well as a deep appreciation of the impact of emotional pain on the process of living. This perspective emerged from my 25+ years in practice, my formal training, my work at psychiatric hospitals and other facilities, my experience as a supervisor and a teacher, and a life lived as a member of the human species. Although my approach depends on the needs of each individual, I believe the relationship between therapist and clie...
In these difficult times, managing life's demands is often challenging. Anxiety, depression, and frustration may feel overwhelming and impossible to overcome. Seemingly obvious solutions often make it worse. For example, worrying about being anxious or avoiding anxiety arousing situations only increase the problem. However, there are effective coping strategies that help. I offer practical alternatives in a warm and supportive environment....
Change is hard! Staying stuck is harder. Psychotherapy can help you get back to feeling good about yourself, your relationships, or gain clarity about your life goals. We all struggle sometimes with life’s challenges, and we learn to handle them in many ways. If we’re lucky, we find helpful coping strategies, but sometimes what we’ve learned to do to manage stress stops working for us. Usually, that is the time when people decide to try therapy: when they are unable to find their way out of rigi...
