As a therapist, my greatest passion lies in getting to know each unique person who comes through my practice. It is my belief that success in therapy hinges on a strong therapeutic alliance, built upon a foundation of authenticity, openness, and sincere connection. To achieve this, I bring a genuine, direct, and dynamic approach to therapy, enriched by my warm, down-to-earth, and colorful demeanor. I strive to create an environment that is supportive, trusting, and fun for my clients to explore and grow in the areas that matter most to them.  

In my practice, I offer both in-person and telehealth services for individuals, couples, and families at every stage of life. I approach each session as a collaborative process, tailoring therapy to the client’s specific needs and goals for a focused and effective experience. For children and families, I prioritize regular communication and collaboration to ensure comprehensive care. Family therapy and parent training sessions, when appropriate, can further enhance relational dynamics and support therapeutic objectives.

I am particularly dedicated to supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate their distinctive developmental challenges and transitions. Having trained at two college counseling centers, I am passionate about guiding students in both their academic and personal growth. My goal is to empower young people to discover their voice, build self-confidence, and communicate their needs effectively, all while fostering their resilience and development during these pivotal years.

My professional experience has also afforded me specialized training in working with the perinatal population. While at the Postpartum Stress Center, I specialized in treating individuals experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Trained in Karen Kleiman’s HOLDING model of intervention, I am adept at providing empathetic, individualized support to those navigating the complexities of perinatal mental health. Additionally, I provide therapy for couples affected by perinatal disorders or systemic changes related to pregnancy, fertility issues, loss, or the arrival of a new baby, addressing the emotional and relational dynamics of these significant transitions to help them strengthen their partnership and adapt to their evolving family structure.

Outside of work, I enjoy lunching with a good book and rarely go anywhere without my Kindle. I also love crafting, spending time with friends, and unwinding at home with my husband and our snowshoe cat, Sven!
