Through a caring therapeutic relationship I work with college students and new-professionals to explore the areas of their lives they would like to better understand or change. For many this includes a desire for more contentment, relief from excessive worry, improved relationships, increased self-esteem, and better experiences at work or in school. My style is friendly, interactive, and tailored to each person’s needs. I provide a non-judgmental, welcoming space to gain insight, process emotions, and develop new coping strategies. I specialize in working with those affected by anxiety and depression using a solution focused, cognitive-behavioral approach. If you are ready to give therapy a try, please email me to schedule a phone consultation. We can talk about what you are looking for and if I would be a good fit as a therapist for you. I look forward to hearing from you!

My clients are women who have reached a point where something needs to change. They feel stuck in their patterns and behaviors, unable to stop and not understanding why. They are overwhelmed with uncomfortable emotions. It feels like their past intrudes on their present. They ask questions like “what’s wrong with me?” and tend to be hard on themselves. They may not feel seen or heard. They may frequently face conflict in their relationships. Many women experience life this way. You are not alone. I help women piece together their past, understand patterns, and respond differently to their environment. Together, we will identify the skills you need to respond instead of react, support yourself in distress, and return to feeling safe and grounded. I provide a warm and non-judgmental space for you to explore who you are and how you got there, at your own pace. A dedicated time and space to focus on yourself can make a world of difference. Many women live in a state of “doing,” rarely having the opportunity to rest, restore, and connect with themselves. Reaching out for the first time can feel scary. I offer a complimentary phone consultation to ensure you feel comfortable with me before moving forward. I welcome the opportunity to support you on your healing journey.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, I believe that the best approach to therapy is a collaborative, integrated model that meets the needs of the person sitting before me. As your therapist, I am here to learn about you – your experiences, relationships, and insights – to help you understand different themes that may be contributing to your current stressors. In order to get the most from the therapeutic experience, I strongly believe the patient has to be an active participant in the work. Together we will assess the best steps to take based on your personal strengths and abilities. My hope is that through our work you feel more confident, secure, and connected to yourself, your relationships, and your goals. To reach these goals, I incorporate various evidence-based practices to help guide our work such as CBT, DBT, interpersonal therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and motivational interviewing. These tools will allow us to explore how patterns may be impacting your life and provide opportunities to identify your strengths. This information will be the foundation for our work to grow upon knowledge and skills to help you reach your goals. If you are open to learning more and ready to engage therapy, please reach out to me today for more information.
