Does it feel like your worries and fears prevent you from living the life you want to live? Do you find it difficult to be present because you are either worrying about the future or ruminating about the past? If you want to learn how to move forward when you feel stuck in your head, you have come to the right place, and I am so excited that you are here. I help clients ditch worry, rumination, and unhelpful habits for a more mindful, motivated, and compassionate way of being.
My approach is founded on principles from mindfulness-based and compassion-based cognitive behavioral therapies (CFT, ACT, and DBT). We’ll work together to create the tools you need to manage stress and difficult emotions. Through our work, you’ll explore what’s most important to you and use your new tools to create a life of freedom, growth, and meaning.
I work with clients who struggle with anxiety and mood. I’m a Health at Every Size-aligned therapist and help clients with body image concerns to accept and love their bodies and practice intuitive eating. If my approach resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you!

When it comes to finding the right therapist for you, there’s no one-size-fits-all! It is my goal to see the full you and to be curious about what you uniquely need as the dynamic human that you are. I honor your personal values, past experiences and place in the world. Above all, I prioritize a feeling of relational safety, and I don’t subscribe to the idea that therapy needs to be uncomfortable or overwhelming; I care about your limits and boundaries and I trust your intuition. I also bring myself into the room with humor and compassion, and you’ll be able to feel my warmth and presence in a reliable and kind way.
My practice is rooted in ACT, CFT and Psychodynamic theories, and I have made anti-racism and disability justice a core tenet of my practice; I hold my role with responsibility and care. I have a special interest in supporting people with anxiety and/or low mood; relational issues/changes; grief and loss; spirituality; and body image issues.
Substantial and moving changes happen for each person I work with, which has sustained my belief that finding peace and vitality through psychotherapy is both possible and important. You are worth this expansion, and I’d be honored to join you!

I believe that when we are given a compassionate space to explore our emotions, behaviors, and experiences, the opportunities for healing and growth are endless. As a therapist, I honor the vulnerability and courage it takes to engage in this process. While working through suffering can feel overwhelming, I pay careful attention to go at the appropriate pace that feels supportive for your healing process. You are the expert on your life and I prioritize connecting you with the depth of your own strengths, intuition, and wisdom.
I work with individuals facing a range of emotional and relational challenges, including trauma, anxiety, OCD, grief, depression, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based and experiential therapies, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches. I strive to help clients deepen self-understanding, develop internal resources, and experience relief.
I work from a trauma-informed lens, with a strong belief in the body’s innate ability to heal. I am committed to fostering a safe therapeutic space that allows you to feel understood and respected as a whole person. I would be honored to support you in your healing process.

Desires drive our lives—what we want, when, and how. Our efforts are focused on moving towards what we desire and away from what we do not want. The more inflexible or rigid our desires become, the more disappointment and anger we feel when faced with undesired outcomes. Frequently, in our pursuit of fulfilling these desires, we may drift away from aligning with our values or becoming the person we aspire to be. And that can be painful.
Anxiety and fear often become ingrained habits aimed at avoiding undesired outcomes—”a need for control to achieve what I want or to ensure I don’t get what I fear.” This can be overwhelming and can hijack our systems, making it difficult to process. However, it’s essential to recognize that this is just a habit.
Through the practice of compassion, we can learn to accept our habits without resorting to punishment or shame, gradually developing antidote habits. Drawing inspiration from my artistic and spiritual practice, along with my training in ACT and DBT, my therapeutic style is processing-oriented. I focus on understanding the roots and underlying metaphysics that underpin our suffering. I also incorporate mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork to encourage embodied values and flexibility.
I am dedicated to your well-being—ensuring you feel secure, loved, valued, and understood in your journey. I respect everything that emerges in the therapeutic space. I prioritize building a therapeutic relationship that is kind, authentic, and genuine. My focus is on gaining clear insights into your emotions, thought processes, and the environmental challenges that affect you. Above all, my commitment is to support your growth, empowerment, and, most importantly, your happiness.

Change can be disorienting—even when it’s expected. If you’re facing illness or injury, identity shifts, loss, or other major transitions, you may feel stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming. I specialize in helping people meet these moments with steadiness and self-compassion. My approach blends psychodynamic therapy with compassion and mindfulness-based practices to deepen present-moment awareness, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and build acceptance and commitment to the life you want to live.
We’ll work collaboratively to understand how these changes impact your emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. You’ll learn practical tools to regulate difficult feelings, reduce reactivity, and re-engage with your values. Over time, this process can foster resilience, meaning, and a more authentic connection to yourself.
In addition to psychotherapy, I conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations for adult clients. These diagnostic and psychoeducational assessments provide clarity regarding complex presentations, inform treatment plans, and can be instrumental in supporting academic or legal decisions.
If you’re ready to move forward—at your own pace—I invite you to reach out for a brief consultation.

Are you feeling lost in your life? Do you need help figuring out your true self? Therapy can be a place to help discover who you are and what you want out of life. As a therapist, I believe in treating my clients as whole people who are on their own unique journeys. I am here to help you live an authentic life while navigating all the challenges of living in this world.
My approach is one of compassion, support and non-judgment. As a psychologist trained in multiple modalities, I take an integrative and individualized approach to each client’s treatment. I strongly believe there is no such thing as “one size fits all” in therapy.
As someone who grew up in two different countries, I appreciate the influence that our environments and cultures play in our lives. I strive to help my clients understand the influence of their backgrounds in their lives, and how to healthily build their own identities. I have worked with adults and adolescents of diverse backgrounds, and I approach every individual’s unique story with curiosity and compassion.

I believe that a key aspect of healing involves self-discovery and self-acceptance. My approach integrates the depth of psychoanalytic principles with the practical tools of ACT and CBT, providing a solid foundation for growth. I integrate mindfulness practices to deepen healing, cultivating presence, clarity, and emotional balance. With compassion and curiosity, I embrace the complexities of the human psyche, guiding exploration and growth. My aim is to help clients uncover and embrace the different parts of themselves, fostering self-acceptance and understanding.
I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety, using exposure therapy to help clients reclaim their peace. In addition to exposures, I provide a personalized toolkit to support you in managing OCD both during and beyond our sessions. I also support clients facing a variety of life challenges and experiences, such as depression, PTSD, and couples work.
I’m eager to support your journey of self-growth and collaborate with you along the way.

Do you feel disconnected from your authentic self? Are you having trouble being in the present moment? Do you find it difficult to stay grounded and responsive to your changing needs?
It can be overwhelming to articulate or even know what is best for us in general and certainly during times of transition, stress, and/or crisis. Knowing what the next best right action for you when you’re uncertain or unsteady can feel elusive and terrifying.
I believe that you have everything you need to to succeed; I am here to help you access it. I work to guide clients in validating their experiences and expressing their feelings safely without victimization. Through personalized insight and psychoeducation, we work as a team in developing tools of self-regulation to empower and (re)establish a feeling of security and trust within the body and mind so you can feel confident in your next steps.
As a Pilates instructor in addition to being a social worker, I have substantial experience and understanding of the mind-body connection and how daily life, stress, trauma and injury impacts both. During our session we will focus on mindfully staying connected to the body during big emotions or sensations, strengthen executive functioning skills, and develop your authentic voice while working towards your goals.
My approach is holistic, strengths based and mindfully driven, based in trauma-informed somatic work. I draw primarily from the evidence-based practices of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to promote empowerment. I work with individuals across the age span, as well as couples and families. I look forward to the opportunity to connect and partner with you on your pursuit of discovery and self-care.

I believe that every person has a fundamental right to internal harmony, healthy relationships, and the ability to build a fulfilling and enriching life. In my therapy practice, I aim to guide individuals on a path of self-discovery, self-acceptance, emotional resilience, and growth by creating a non-judgmental environment where clients can explore and address their challenges.
I often work with individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal and intimacy challenges, grief, and emotion dysregulation. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by their emotions, struggling to manage their daily lives, feeling stuck or lost, or craving a deeper understanding of themselves. I understand that each person’s path to healing is unique, and involves more than just addressing symptoms; it encompasses nurturing the whole person.
My approach is integrative, blending evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness with the transformative potential of mind/body awareness, art, and spirituality. My clinical style is warm, attentive, flexible, and curious. Above all, I aim to ensure that my clients feel seen, heard, accepted, and loved throughout their journey of self-discovery, healing, and integration of all aspects of themselves as they cultivate a greater sense of inner peace, personal liberation, and overall life stability.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a warm, collaborative, and genuine interaction with my clients. I believe in the importance of building a real relationship between therapist and client, where trust and understanding are paramount. My approach is both compassionate and supportive, sometimes adding a touch of humor to help build connection and ease stress. I strive to foster a safe and open environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions, and where together, we can work towards meaningful change and personal growth.
I am committed to being an empathetic listener, offering a non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood. My goal is to empower my clients. I value authenticity and transparency in the therapeutic relationship, ensuring that my clients feel respected and valued throughout our work together.
I have a special interest in supporting individuals with sleep-related issues, anxiety, relationship distress, and body image. I work with individuals as well as couples, drawing from EFT (emotionally focused therapy) and The Gottman Method to guide our sessions. I also work within an integrative framework, utilizing psychodynamic, CBT, and mindfulness principles. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all treatment when it comes to therapy, so we will work together to tailor the therapy to your specific needs. Asking for help is a courageous choice, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you navigate this journey.

Within us all is an innate drive for growth and self discovery. But let’s face it, growth and change can be daunting and disorienting – often leaving us with a feeling of not knowing how to take the first step, or how to navigate the next chapter in our journey. If you’ve been feeling that this is a season for learning more about yourself and growing into a more whole version of you, please take a moment to applaud your courage! In my practice, my guiding priority is to honor your courage and instincts, the strategies you’ve used to get yourself to this point in your life, and your potential to nurture and adopt new understandings, behaviors, and tools which reflect your truest self.
I believe in a holistic approach which attends to the mind, body, and spirit. In doing so, I draw from Feminist-Multicultural, social justice, and compassion-based modalities which conceptualize a person both as a deeply unique individual and as someone who lives within the vast contextual web of societal expectations, roles, injustices, and supports. Of the skills which I have gleaned in my training as a clinician, I most value the opportunities I have had to nurture an ever-evolving practice of cultural humility. Above all else, it is my primary goal to create a safe and welcoming space for clients from all walks of life, cultures, and belief systems. Whoever you are, and however you identify, you are welcome and valued here.
In supporting the whole person, I specialize in Somatic and Mindfulness approaches, which attend to the fact that all of our minds and spirits live inside a body whose systems deeply affect our mental wellness. I welcome clients who wish to include their spiritual lives in their therapeutic journey and am proud to have fostered years of experience in working with folks of many spiritual traditions. I also have a particular specialty in women’s health and am proud to have worked with girls and women across the lifespan in navigating the unique challenges, beauties, and often little-spoken nuances of navigating life and society as a woman. Creative and artistic folks have often found their way to my practice and, with a background in the arts myself, I am honored to also serve this inspiring community.
Finding the right therapist can be nerve-racking, so here’s our simple first step: If you feel we may be a good fit in working together on your therapeutic journey, let’s set up a brief consultation call and chat. I welcome the opportunity to learn about you and how we can work together to take the next step in your journey

As a therapist, I believe that healing begins in relationship: with ourselves, with others, and within the therapy room. I bring warmth, empathy, and authenticity into our sessions, creating a space where you can show up just as you are. My hope is that you feel safe, seen, and deeply understood as we navigate your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together.
My approach is integrative, blending relational psychodynamic work with person-centered, compassionate care. I believe that the stories we carry, especially those rooted in past experiences, shape how we presently move through the world. Together, we will explore those stories, honor your emotions, and make space for growth and healing. I see therapy as a collaborative process tailored to your needs, guided by curiosity, and grounded in trust.
I value working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship challenges. I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and honoring the complexity of the intersecting identities each person brings. More than anything, I want our work to feel like a partnership. One that helps you honor your voice, build inner trust, and create meaningful change.
