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!

Some people describe looking for a therapist to be like shopping for shoes- there’s no one size fits all! Part of what I love so much about my role is that this sentiment really is true, that there is no one formula to match all people. It is my goal to see the full you and to provide 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 have a special interest in supporting people in mourning and grief, to find life that exists within loss. This includes grief not only related to death and dying, but also complicated grief, transition of identity or position in life, change in relationships, and the many ways we might feel loss from what or who is significant to us.
Inspired by my work as an artist, I see my approach as though a mosaic. I consider psychodynamic and relational models alongside somatic and mindfulness-based CBTs, to find the best fit for you. I can help you find meaning in your life to increase your feelings of peace and vitality. 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.

Are you facing the daunting task of adjusting to life’s adversity? Do you find yourself struggling with the emotional and mental challenges that come with these significant changes? I specialize in helping individuals navigate these transitions by fostering present moment awareness, cultivating new perspectives, and building acceptance and commitment to change.
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and mindfulness-based practices. Together, we will explore the impact of these changes on your life and develop strategies to move forward with resilience and purpose. Through our work, you’ll gain tools to manage difficult emotions, embrace the present moment, and create a life that aligns with your authentic self. If this resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out.

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.
