In my practice, I seek to create a safe space for working through life’s challenges in order to live a more fulfilled and engaged life. I am warm, compassionate, and open-minded. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is collaborative. You are the expert in your own life. We will work together to address your concerns and to improve your quality of life by understanding your strengths and values, gaining new skills and exploring new perspectives.

I provide individual therapy for adults through telehealth exclusively. My approach is eclectic and will be tailored to the individual as we are all unique.  My work is trauma and neuroscience-informed and draws from therapies including supportive, cognitive-behavioral, acceptance based, polyvagal, narrative and internal family systems. I value a holistic model, in which physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being all contribute to overall health. I am comfortable with discussions of faith and spirituality.

My practice schedule is best suited to those with flexible daytime availability and non-intensive needs.

I currently accept BCBS, CIGNA, Aetna, MVP, Medicare and Medicaid insurances and offer a sliding scale for those wishing to pay out of pocket.
