Therapy is a chance for us to come together and collaborate so that we can help you build the life you want to live. I am particularly interested in helping adolescents and young adults navigate depression, anxiety, LGBTQ identity, school and work-related challenges, and the challenges of making major life transitions. I use a variety of approaches, since everyone comes to therapy with different needs and experiences, and no one method works for everyone. My perspective is predominantly informed by the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. I love helping people develop into their fullest selves. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!

I view the therapeutic relationship as collaborative, and I strive to create a secure space for you to deepen your self-awareness, cultivate sustainable coping strategies, and clarify your values. I often work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating habits, body image distress, or life transitions. Many clients enter therapy with a desire to feel more connected to themselves. In our work, we will identify the ways in which you may be engaging in avoidance or other unhelpful patterns. In our process, you will reconnect with what you need to experience a more vibrant and fulfilling life. I utilize behavioral therapy approaches of ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). In our work, we will continually explore your internal experience patterns. I often use engaging metaphors, mindfulness exercises, and other therapeutic activities to guide our sessions. Choosing a therapist is an important decision. I appreciate you taking the time to review my profile! I would love to connect further and learn about you, and what you hope to work on in therapy right now. I offer free 15 minute inquiry phone calls so we can see if we may be the right fit for one another. I look forward to connecting with you!

I am passionate in helping clients be open about their experiences that may be uncomfortable to talk about. I understand the difficulty in being vulnerable with others and how to move forward with that in mind. My passion is driven by the stigma in seeking mental health counseling services.

As a practicing artist, (30 years as a designer, visual artist and entrepreneur) I have a particular understanding of issues and situations affecting working creative professionals and people who identify as artists. My goal is to serve the creative community, as well as other clients, with mental health and wellness services. I work towards gaining a cultural, societal, and situational understanding of each persons' attitudes, beliefs, and desires in order to create awareness and therapeutic change. My approach is humanistic, and includes a variety of techniques. I hope that my encounters with clients can be transformational, not a transaction. My practice has a concentration on working creative professionals and people who identify as artists, seeking to create awareness with a collaborative "therapeutic moment". Artists and creators are often subject to societal attitudes and misinformation that can be damaging to their relationships and their ability to work and create. I specialize in talk therapy, stress reduction techniques, time management, and meditation training, (with over 15 years experience in and study of yoga practice and philosophy). I am open to alternative lifestyles based on practice, orientation, sexuality, or gender.

Seeking therapy can be an uncomfortable experience that takes a lot of courage. Making an initial appointment is the first step of the process of healing and becoming the best version of ourselves. Therapy allows self-reflection, support, and insight. Although the process is not linear and there may be some painful and halting moments, it is a chance to figure out what is and isn't doing you justice. I view my clients holistically and work collaboratively with them to have a better understanding of how they live their lives and how to achieve better functioning and life satisfaction. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings with various clinical needs. I greatly enjoy working with multicultural issues, depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, interpersonal problems, low self-esteem, trauma, emotion-regulation, social challenges, identity development, and adjustment challenges. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies and Cultural Relational Theory in my work with clients. My goal in therapy is to provide a compassionate environment that allows clients to be the expert of their lives and find their place within their environments, identities, and their pursuits of wellness.

I believe therapy can offer a non-judgmental space where individuals are heard, supported, and understood. I approach therapy with values of collaboration, warmth, humor, and the individual’s unique history. Within therapy, I strive to create a space for the interplay of conscious and unconscious factors as essential expressions of identity. These factors may include past experiences that mysteriously show up in our present lives as patterns, but can be understood more fully towards healing and transformation. I greatly enjoy walking with clients to uncover and develop their truest self through reflection, curiosity, and creativity. As a therapist, my goal is to cultivate in clients self-acceptance, growth, and deeper connections with themselves and others.

If you're considering therapy, you may have asked yourself questions like "Do I really need it? How can it help me?" While many of us turn to family and friends for emotional support during stressful times, moments do come when difficulties seem to mount and persist, and when talking to a trained, professional helper can bring about relief from suffering, as well as personal growth. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years of post graduate experience in private practice and community mental health settings. I treat adults presenting with anxiety, depression, ADHD and stress from challenging life transitions. In my practice, I integrate various therapeutic approaches including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based and trauma-informed interventions. Regardless of approaches used, I try to impart a way of listening that tunes in not only to what is being said, but also to what is not being said. I have a special interest in working with immigrants or people coming from immigrant backgrounds who may wish to explore the impact of cultural and social displacement on their psychological well-being. I've also enjoyed working with clients grappling with the question of vocation and one's place in the world.

I believe that the relationship formed between therapist and client is at the core of therapy; it is my privilege and responsibility to listen to my clients' experiences with respect and without judgment.

During these trying times, I understand how anxiety, depression, relationship woes, physical and mental health challenges, and family strife can increase as if it's under a microscope! Individuals want and need internal working systems that help them do more than cope and survive, they need the strength and awareness to grow from trials and tribulations both within and outside of one's control. View 4 Photos I am a clinical psychologist who is real and genuine when working with a couple or individual, both young and old. I provide clear, understandable interpretations and suggestions at which time the clients are able to consider, process, and then work through how life experiences and relationships have brought them to their current place in life. I approach every client and family from a strength-based, humanistic, and compassionate place; the same as I do in relationships closest to me. I work from my heart and only with the utmost respect and optimism necessary to promote a healthy, trusting therapeutic relationship with every person who reaches out to me.
