I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 15 years of experience and I’m passionate about partnering with individuals on their journey toward improved health and well-being. As a health psychologist, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life as they navigate the challenges that often accompany mental and physical health concerns. Currently, I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults dealing with stress, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and other health-related issues. A bit about my approach to therapy: I believe therapy is a deeply personal experience, and it’s essential to understand and support the whole person. It’s important to me that every individual feels respected, heard, and that the goals we work toward in therapy are collaborative and meaningful. My hope is that each person feels supported as they make progress toward their goals and gain tools they can carry with them outside of therapy.

I help young adults shed their self-doubt, people pleasing, and outdated expectations of who they should be, so they can discover what feels genuinely aligned and feel more connected to themselves and in their relationships. Our work can support you in setting clearer boundaries, understanding and expressing your needs, confidently making authentic decisions, and relating to yourself and your body with more compassion and trust. This is a space to let go of perfection, get curious about what you're experiencing, and reconnect with yourself so you can feel more grounded, whole, and fully alive. I offer walk-and-talk and virtual therapy; many of my clients come to me for support with anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, stress, and eating disorder recovery. We can talk, create art, play games, or connect with nature while we explore your emotions, find your voice, and move through challenges at your own pace. Together, we can uncover patterns and past experiences that may be keeping you stuck, helping you untangle the threads, release societal pressures, and create lasting change. My goal is to help you live a more confident, fulfilling life. If anything here resonates, reach out for a free consultation. I'd love to hear your story!

If balancing academic/work pressure and your personal life is leaving you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out, I am here to help. Many clients I work with enter therapy feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or pushing themselves at the expense of their well-being. Perfectionism and self-criticism often make it even harder to slow down or feel satisfied. I specialize in therapy with college/graduate students and young professionals struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, early career stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also work with survivors of sexual trauma and individuals who want to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My approach is warm, collaborative, and values-focused. After working together, my clients often have greater self-confidence, increased insight into how past experiences shape current patterns, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with evidence-based behavioral approaches such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, along with emotion-focused, self-compassion, and strengths-based perspectives. We'll explore practical tools to move forward from unhelpful patterns so that you can live more authentically. I am here to support you in understanding yourself with greater insight and compassion, easing anxiety’s influence on your wellbeing, and building a life that reflects your values rather than fear or pressure. I offer telehealth therapy for busy academic and professional lives. If this sounds like you, I invite you to explore my website and reach out for a consultation. I see clients in Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, and Colorado. I am also PSYPACT authorized to see clients in 40 additional states. *Note: I am in-network with several insurances in Massachusetts and Colorado, and I am out-of-network in New York, New Hampshire, and in PSYPACT states. I provide a superbill for my clients to request reimbursement from their insurance. Please reach out with any questions; I'm happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.

I believe that with the right support we can make small intentional changes to create a satisfying life. I am committed to helping clients feel understood and respected. I help clients identify strategies to alleviate symptoms, modify problematic patterns, and develop effective coping skills. I provide compassionate care and tailor empirically supported treatments. I primarily utilize mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapies and strategies informed by dialectical behavior therapy.

You've done the hard thing. You made a decision to talk to someone and you're here. If you are trying to understand the depression that won't go away, even on good days, or quiet the running dialogue in your head that doesn't ever stop, I can help. I can help you manage the behaviors that you can't seem to walk away from, or teach your nervous system to relax so you don't have to feel like you're on hyper-alert all the time. If you need to talk openly about the things you've lost, or things you've seen, or just how much it hurts, I can walk with you through all of it. In my 28 years as a therapist, I have addressed several mental health issues, and consider substance use, military experience, trauma, depression, loss, grief, and spirituality, as specialties. I also offer therapy for suicidal ideation or suicide-centered issues (ideation, attempt or grief), and don't shy away from having the real conversation. I know it takes a lot to choose therapy, more so to pick a therapist. My first goal for us is to build trust, a sense of psychological safety which I value for you more than anything.

Are you or your child navigating mental health struggles, but are ready to better understand yourself and create meaningful change? As an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist, I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, identity development, and trauma for adolescents and adults. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from your values, or overwhelmed by past experiences. Rather than looking for someone to "fix" you, you want a compassionate therapist who helps you make sense of your story, build practical skills, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. That’s where I come in. I have a particular passion for working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and others seeking a safe, affirming space where you can be fully yourself while developing resilience, self-compassion, and deeper, more connected relationships. In my view, healing happens through genuine connection, authenticity, and a relationship built on trust, compassion, and respect. My goal is to be a thoughtful, collaborative partner who walks alongside you, not to tell you who you should become but to help you discover the strengths, resilience, and wisdom that already exist within you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something different, you don't have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you as you build the life, relationships, and sense of purpose you deserve, one meaningful step at a time. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of healing, and my style reflects that through thoughtful, engaging, and genuine care. I provide trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy grounded in compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care to help you reconnect with your strengths and live more intentionally. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and Mindfulness, I tailor treatment to your unique story and goals. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping skills, process difficult experiences, and build a life that aligns with your values, working at a pace that feels both supportive and appropriately challenging. The goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, challenged with care, and empowered to create lasting change. My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by both my professional career and my personal life. Like many of my patients, I've experienced seasons of anxiety, depression, and profound life transition. Therapy was an essential part of helping me navigate those challenges while pursuing a high-achieving career, raising an incredible son with autism and ADHD, and later embracing my authentic self as a transgender woman in midlife. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the courage it takes to ask for help and the transformative power of a trusting therapeutic relationship. Today, I am committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming care where patients feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. I bring empathy, life experience, and clinical expertise to every session, believing that healing begins when people discover they don't have to face life's challenges alone. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my son and exploring Colorado through backpacking, climbing, and skiing. A lifelong competitive tennis player and music lover, I also love spending time with my French Bulldog. These experiences keep me grounded, remind me to appreciate the present moment, and reinforce the importance of resilience, connection, and finding joy in life's everyday adventures.

If insight alone hasn’t changed your patterns, something deeper is begging to be understood. High functioing anxiety? Disconnected, or stuck in repeating relationship and life patterns? Overwhelmed or just plain blah? It's life changing to incorporate body, mind and heart to fully develop a strong internal sense of self. I integrate psychotherapy with the Enneagram and yoga therapy to uncover the unconscious patterns driving stress, attachment, and emotional reactivity. Knowing your Enneagram type and subtype often accelerates therapy by revealing why you cope the way you do—so change becomes embodied, precise, and lasting. With 25+ years of experience, I offer a holistic, trauma-informed approach integrating cognitive behavioral and somatic therapy. My style is straightforward and supportive. As a 2x published author, Enneagram-certified therapist, and yoga therapist, I work with individuals and couples to customize mind-body treatment that supports real, lasting change. Witnessing the transformation as you move from wounded, unbalanced and fearful, to being empowered, focused and self-reliant, is one of my greatest rewards. The power of growth never fails to amaze me, and I am grateful to be part of your journey! I welcome you to begin this process! Now, all you have to do is click the button to start. I've got you! :)

Therapy shouldn’t feel like a clinical interrogation. After seven years working with young people inside Colorado schools, I know that just opening up to someone new takes incredible guts. Because effective therapy relies on a strong therapeutic alliance, I prioritize tailored human connection over rigid assessment & clinical stuffiness, laying the groundwork for us to work as true partners in the process.
