Within a supportive environment, I offer engaged, purposeful therapy.

I offer therapy focusing on relationships, work and school-related issues, life transitions, and stress management. I specialize in supporting adults, including students navigating academic pressures, as they balance increasing responsibilities with significant life transitions such as dating, marriage, parenthood, and loss. Many clients report feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed. My approach integrates current research with traditional therapeutic methods; some benefit from developing skills in emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, while others explore broader issues of values and purpose. In addition to individual therapy, I work with couples, including those from diverse cultural backgrounds. By applying my understanding of varied communication styles and psychological types, I help couples build skills to reduce emotional reactivity and avoidance, fostering greater intimacy and mutual understanding. I completed my clinical training (Doctoral Internship and Fellowship) at Northwestern University after earning my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School. Previously, I obtained a Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University.
