Do you constantly feel like you aren't good enough? If this feeling is getting in the way of your relationships or pursuing a fulfilling & meaningful career, you are not alone. Therapy can help you untangle from unhelpful expectations from childhood and our demanding culture. You may have learned to overwork yourself or perhaps felt that it's not even worth trying. While you may not have chosen these beliefs, they may be getting in your way of living your best life. Learning to recognize and understand the beliefs that may be holding you back will allow you to get unstuck and live more fully and authentically.

I work with young adults and teens experiencing anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, addictive behaviors, trauma, and issues related to identity. I provide a space for you to feel all of your emotions without judgement. I help you decrease your symptoms by helping you discover the hidden wisdom in your behaviors and feelings.

Finding the right therapist can be a real challenge! I provide a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you determine if I am the right fit for you. During this call, you will have the opportunity to ask me questions and chat about your goals. If at any time you feel like I'm not the right fit, no problem, I'd be glad to help you find someone who is!

I am trained to help provide effective therapy based on evidence-based research. At the same time I see you as a fellow human being- with compassion and respect. My work involves seeing who you are as an individual and help you live more fully and authentically.
