I find the greatest success working with clients who over-think and ruminate, feeding negative valuations of themselves and the world around them, and who struggle with accompanying forms of worry, anxiety, and perfectionism. In providing a safe, non-judgmental space in which to build rapport, and by utilizing a conversational style, clients often feel more comfortable opening up and addressing the issues bringing them to counseling. We will collaborate on goals, as well as work together to m...

I like to think of therapy as a journey of inner exploration and I am along as a guide. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a combination of intellectual understanding and emotional experience. In that regard, it feels like your feelings are our road signs that we are in the right track to self-growth. I try to not have a specific agenda going into sessions, but rather to go where it is you feel like you need to go at that time. I believe that it is my role to create a safe space...

Helping college and graduate students sort out personal, social, family and/or academic concerns is my specialty. I worked as a psychologist on two college campuses before deciding that a private practice setting would allow me to offer the best care, free of the limited number of sessions I could give each student at a counseling center. I offer a free initial consult to talk together and see if we're a good fit. Usually, I can schedule those within a week of your contact with me, and after ...
