About My Clients

I enjoy working with adults grappling with life transitions, complicated relationship dynamics, work challenges, trauma, and illness, and in helping to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression these events often provoke.

My Background and Approach

My focus as a therapist is to help you navigate life's challenges and uncertainties, and to gain a deeper understanding of yourself in the process by examining behavioral patterns and developing coping skills. I aim to build a warm and nonjudgmental space in which we work collaboratively, building upon your strengths and integrating mindfulness. In addition to private practice, I have spent eleven years working with patients and their families at a large teaching hospital, where I also serve as a wellness advisor to faculty and students. Over the course of my work, I've witnessed the power a therapeutic relationship has in motivating change and adding meaning to one's life.
