As human beings, we are in a constant state of transition and emergence into new selves.

I have been working with students for over 30 years. I provide psychotherapy to college student and adult populations in an atmosphere of warmth and collaboration. Together we can work on a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationships issues. Whether you are going through a transition in your personal or professional life or are feeling stuck in some aspect of your life, career, or relationship, I look forward to working together.
Hi. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety (including worry, phobias, and OCD), perfectionism, procrastination, life transitions, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I use telehealth and in-office visits. My approach is action oriented – helping you build the skills to take risks and handle discomfort so that you can create the meaningful and satisfying life you want.
Mental health issues are often most noticeable in our relationships. Clients I work with tend to experience anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and self-esteem issues that feel especially present when they are with others. This can impact your dating life, your ability to find and maintain friendships, and your satisfaction in longer term romantic and familial relationships. I help clients identify painful patterns in their lives, then dig deeper to understand where they are coming from. After working together, clients feel more in control of their emotions and relationships, which leads to a greater sense of calm in their lives.
