About My Clients

When you think of change it can be both really desirable, and something very scary at the same time, but I will be with you every step of the way. I can help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, both from the past and present, so you can understand patterns that may be making you feel stuck. Together we can identify barriers that may be standing in your way, while also identifying your strengths and how to use them to create a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

My Background and Approach

I practice with a psychodynamic approach, along with an attachment-based lens, because understanding how our past is playing out in our present can help bring long-lasting and meaningful change to the future. I also use a relational and relaxed approach because a strong therapeutic relationship leads to successful outcome. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, trauma stress/burnout, self-esteem/identity & life transitions. I work with individual adults, adolescents and couples and I have training in Emotionally-Focused couples therapy (EFT). Each person is unique and I will tailor treatment to the specific needs and goals of each individual. Let's see if we are a good fit and can work together to overcome challenges and achieve your growth!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It's important to feel connected and safe to your therapist in order be vulnerable and explore things that may be painful. I whole-heartily believe this is one of the most important things in creating meaningful change in therapy. My practice is rooted in a multicultural and sensitive approach, because understanding how race/culture impact our identity is an important layer in the therapeutic process. How we grow up and where we grow up shapes who we are, and I can help you better understand the impact this might have on you.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
