My Approach

Making your way through life can often feel stressful, confusing and lonely, whether you are a young adult figuring out grad school, feeling burnt out and overwhelmed with work, or facing a big change in your relationship. When confronting life transitions or balancing multiple stressors, it’s common to feel worried, sleepless, disengaged, frustrated, or all of the above. I find that there is often a sense of relief that comes with the simple act of talking it through with the help of a therapist. It is my goal to provide a place where you can unload and we can sort it out together, find healthy coping skills, and begin creating the life you want. ​

I have a humanistic approach to therapy and believe that people have an inherent goodness and the power to change. I tend to focus less on pathology and what is going wrong in your life, and focus more on your strengths and helping you figure out what you want your life to look like. I believe that a therapist’s genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy are essential to success, but that training and technique are vital as well. I have experience and training in multiple, clinically tested therapeutic techniques (including Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing) but combine this knowledge to customize my approach to work effectively with your unique life circumstances and personality. I also have a special interest and experience in reating anxiety, depression, and OCD.
