From my first psychology class to the writing of my dissertation, I have been passionate about women's issues and how all people are impacted by gender roles. My approach deconstructs, evaluates, and explores what gender identity is, what it means to you, and how it might impact your life. Using integrative, depth-oriented approaches, we will work together to understand your struggles through a different lens and explore how to live in the most authentic way possible.

Through nine years of specialized training and clinical experience, I have honed my expertise in treating symptoms of anxiety. Using depth-oriented, integrative methods, we will work together to better understand and manage your anxiety symptoms. My compassionate and personalized approach provides a space for us to examine your feelings of anxiety, explore their root cause, and create a path forward.

With a deep understanding of the complexities of depression, I offer compassionate support and evidence-based interventions to help you find relief. Through nine years of specialized training and clinical experience, I have the tools to help you navigate through the darkness, uncover the origins of your struggles, and empower you to find light and hope again.

Do you ever feel unsure of your purpose, or that you struggle with being true to yourself and the life you want to live? Existential psychotherapy explores the fundamental questions of human existence, such as the meaning of life, freedom, responsibility, and the mysteries of the unknown. By embracing these existential concerns together, this approach helps you feel empowered to confront your own unique existence, find purpose, and live more authentically.

Relational psychotherapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a powerful tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. Using this approach provides a safe and supportive environment to explore and understand your patterns of relating to others. Through the building of a trusting therapeutic relationship, I can help you gain insight into your interpersonal dynamics, heal relational wounds, and develop healthier ways of connecting.

Are there memories, experiences, or patterns from your past that seem to be impacting you today? Psychodynamic psychotherapy delves into how past experiences can shape current thoughts and behaviors, including unconscious patterns that may be playing out in your day-to-day life. Through the exploration of relationships and emotions, we will work together to gain insight from your past and navigate your future with resilience.
