My Practice
Much of my work involves supporting adults and adolescents with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and insomnia. Clients also come to session wanting to work on relationship challenges, work or academic stress, life transitions, and improving lifestyle routines and overall well-being.
It’s important to me that therapy be helpful, down-to-earth, and accessible. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients and learning their strengths, nuances, and patterns. As a clinician, I’m often balancing curiosity, humor, and warmth with guiding questions, direct feedback, and asking you to take difficult steps. I care deeply about demystifying mental health disorders and focus on helping patients better understand their symptoms and presenting problems.
I take a collaborative approach to shape our sessions together, setting personalized goals and suggesting treatment techniques from evidence-based modalities. My goal is to equip you with new ways of relating to your thoughts and emotions while giving you practical action steps to reduce your symptoms and improve well-being. While many of the goals set in therapy can be (and often are) accomplished in a short period of time, I’ve also had the pleasure of working with patients for a longer term. In either case, I value the opportunity to be a consistent resource and check point. I believe a therapy session can be the perfect place to pause, gather your thoughts and emotions, and proceed intentionally.
