Therapists » Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
I help adults who feel overwhelmed and unable to live life fully due to anxiety, fear, worry, and depression. My specialty is the treatment of anxiety disorders, adjustment disorder, and interpersonal/relational issues in quarter-life adults (ages 18 - early 40s). Specifically, I treat generalized anxiety, social anxiety, complex/relational trauma, and anxiety caused by circumstances such as acute or chronic illness, life transition, loss, relationship difficulties, and social isolation. I help clients understand the ways that anxiety limits their lives. Since chronic anxiety often leads to depressive symptoms, I treat that as well.

I use evidence-based therapies to assist in identifying self-limiting core beliefs and behavioral patterns that keep them feeling stuck, frustrated, and unsettled. With 20+ years of experience, I am especially adept at working with: 1) college & grad students, recent graduates, and young-to-middle age professionals experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, life transitions, perfectionism, and relationship challenges; 2) adults with medical diagnoses; 3) healthcare providers and educators; 4) women with midlife challenges.
