I look forward to guiding you toward a more flexible way of thinking and building a toolbox of strategies for effectively navigating life’s challenges.

People come to therapy for various reasons, including a desire to cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life, establish more meaningful relationships, or find a way to cope with grief, loss, or trauma. I have had the privilege of supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and particular expertise with college students (undergraduate and graduate), young professionals, parents with children, and adult adoptees. Additionally, I have 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples struggling with infertility or navigating adoption options. Life can be challenging, but fortunately, some tools can help you more effectively navigate the pain you are experiencing. Your struggles do not define you. You are the expert on you. I am here to guide you in finding more peace, acceptance, and understanding of your emotional self. I am eager to hear your story and understand your unique journey. Claims are handled and billed through Headway (a free service). They will collect payment, including co-pays, and file insurance on your behalf.
