Every person is different, so it is important to me to hear out clients and help them become the best version of themselves. Because of the wide variety of client needs, I work with all sorts of life's challenges.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, struggling with friendship conflict or complicated family dynamics? Maybe these feelings are new and unsettling or familiar and exhausting. It is perfectly normal to have difficult times in your life and you might need some additional support to ease the burden- being a college student is hard! In therapy, we can discuss your current concerns and explore your previous experiences in order for you increase your self understanding and feel a sense of choice and agency in your life. I aim to provide a safe, genuine and empathic environment while utilizing our relationship to facilitate collaborative and meaningful change. Together, we can work to increase your emotional coping skills and help you overcome your current barriers. I have extensive training in college counseling and completed my predoctoral internship and post doctoral fellowship at the University of Rochester's Counseling Center.

If you're here you might be feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, stress, or anger. Many clients come forward struggling with relationship conflict, self-esteem concerns, or the lingering effects of trauma. Others face challenges with addiction, impulsivity, or difficult life transitions. Please understand that you do not have to navigate this journey on your own. Whether you are struggling with day-to-day stress or complex mental health concerns, we can create a personalized path toward growth. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and anger management. I also support individuals living with bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and trauma. My experience in outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization programs allows me to bring well-rounded perspective and intervention to therapy. I describe my style as genuine, collaborative, flexible, and curious. I believe the therapeutic relationship is built on honesty, trust, and authenticity. Our thoughts are deeply private and delicate, and I consider it the highest honor to receive them. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you in creating meaningful and lasting change.
