About My Clients

We help young adults (20s and 30s) navigate what is often a turbulent period of time. Clients come to us for a variety of reasons: It could be that they are struggling with anxiety or depression; figuring out what to about their current relationship; having difficulty successfully separating from their parents; or they have questions about work or the direction of their career. All of our therapists and counselors are passionate about helping young adults lead happier, healthier lives.

My Background and Approach

I have nearly 20 years of experience in private practice. Prior to that I worked in community mental health centers and hospitals (inpatient and outpatient). I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based form of psychotherapy that has been proven to be effective with clients with anxiety and depression. Many of our therapists also have a background in CBT. Others incorporate elements of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), mindfulness and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the power of psychotherapy. With the right therapist, psychotherapy is not simply helpful but potentially life-changing. I should know. I had a fantastic therapist of my own who helped me tremendously when I was struggling in my late 20s/early 30s. We all want to be heard and understood at a deep level, and then to be challenged to make meaningful changes in our lives. I believe we have a team of therapists and counselors that do just that for our clients. I also believe deeply in treating everyone with kindness, respect and dignity. We are an inclusive practice that values diversity in all forms.
