I strive to form a genuine, strong, and unique bond with my patients. Drawing from years of work with people facing serious illness, I will work collaboratively with you to build an understanding of who you are, what is most important to you, and the unique circumstances that bring you to treatment. You may be entering, in the middle, or moving past life events you neither anticipated nor imagined. There is the change itself -- and then there’s what we expect life to be during and after the change. No matter how challenging your situation may be, there is a way forward. For all of us, there is tremendous potential for change, growth, and connection when we work through challenges with the right support.

​

By combining evidence-based treatments with a warm and pragmatic approach, my goal is to help you build a future meaningful for you while adapting to the circumstances that life has thrown your way. Treatment with me can include psychotherapy (talk therapy) as well as psychopharmacology (medications). It also includes careful attention to the biological aspects of mental health and addressing the many way that our physical and psychological health intersect.

​

My therapy approach draws primarily from evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am not rigid about the process, though, and sometimes it makes more sense to start with a more open-ended, exploratory approach. No matter which way we start, the goal of treatment -- your goals -- remains the same.
