“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” -Carl G. Jung
I offer a range of therapeutic services designed to meet you where you are and support you in creating meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or the complexities of cultural and personal pressures, I am here to help. I work primarily with adult individuals and, when helpful, their supportive Partners.
Together, we’ll work to understand your unique needs and I will offer you a safe relational space to explore them, heal, and grow. I use approaches informed by and including (but not limited to) Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, Psychodynamic Therapy, Grief Therapy and meaning making, and Trauma Informed Techniques including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused CBT. Choosing to engage in therapy is a courageous step and I look forward to joining you as a fellow traveler along the course of your journey.
Extensive research indicates that the strongest predictor of positive treatment outcomes is the therapeutic alliance meaning the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to developing a genuine, compassionate and trusting relationships with you.

Good Faith Estimate
By law, health care providers are required to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of their expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. This applies to non-emergency healthcare services. You have the right to receive and I provide a “Good Faith Estimate” to Self-Pay Clients that explains the cost of your medical/mental health care. For questions or more information about your right to receive a Good Faith Estimate, please visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
