It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships. Perhaps you have intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most.
Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift, so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others. As a therapist, my therapeutic approach focuses on the interpersonal dynamics that impact your daily experience.

I view psychotherapy as a meaningful engagement between an individual and therapist to facilitate a positive life change as determined by the client. My approach to therapy focuses on how interpersonal relationships impact your daily functioning, focusing specifically on how we emotionally/physically move towards and away from others.
I specialize in working with people across the lifespan. My primary focus is working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety (school and/or sport related), and relationship & phase of life issues. My attitude is one of respect and acceptance of each client's world-view allowing for the creation of a safe, therapeutic environment.
People enter therapy for a variety of reasons and many exit and re-enter therapy over and over again. I find these people are searching for a meaningful experience. Whatever the reason you may have, I'd like to share a little about my approach so you can decide if we are a good fit. I try to observe closely what you are saying and not saying in a session.
There is a view out there that you must "know yourself first" before seeking a life partner. This view is somewhat unrealistic and may prevent someone from entering a lasting relationship because we are always evolving and developing. Humans are naturally social beings and if you look around you'll notice the pursuit of love is something that we still hold dear.
We are told college is supposed to be the "best time of your life." However, for many students college is filled with anxiety, self-doubt, fear of missing out (FOMO), and fear for the future. Whether you are an incoming first year student or graduating at the end of the semester, college is a time of many transitions.
