**Currently not accepting patients due to transitioning presently to teaching ***Grappling with emotional struggles during one’s lifetime is a common experience but can often feel isolating and overwhelming. My goal is that we work together to help you move forward, flourish and live in a way that is aligned with your values. Our work in therapy will be centered on your goals and on working towards them in a proactive way while also integrating self-acceptance, self-understanding and compassion. I am committed to providing a supportive, warm, and nonjudgmental space in therapy. Depending on your needs, I use a psychodynamic-interpersonal framework while flexibly integrating different evidence based treatment modalities, such as CBT, DBT, and ACT. My work centers on older adolescents and young adult women who are grappling with stressors around life transitions, self-esteem, relationships, identity, depression, and anxiety. Generally people are having understandable reactions to tough situations. I hope to create a space in which you feel supported as you navigate this leg of your journey.
