You might be the one others rely on—the one who seems fine—but inside, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or creatively blocked. Whether you’re focused on academics, the arts, or both, therapy with me can help you sort through what’s been weighing on you and why things don’t feel as manageable as they used to. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience, and I’ve partnered with Headway to accept in-network insurance and make therapy more accessible for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. I offer a space to slow down, feel understood, and sort through the thoughts, emotions, and stress that are getting harder to carry. I help students navigate anxiety, academic pressure, self-esteem challenges, and the weight of expectations. I also have a deep appreciation for working with creative students—artists, performers, writers, and others—who may feel blocked, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their work. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and attuned to the emotional layers that shape how you show up—in school, in your work, and in your life.

With warmth, empathy and humor, I create a non-judgemental, and safe environment in which to explore and resolve challenging issues. I am a solution-focused therapist, and my primary goals are the relief of distressing symptoms, restoring emotional balance and clarity of thought, improving self regulation, developing more stable and intimate relationships, and having a more satisfying life experience. While we can't change difficult experiences of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in the present.

I believe everyone is an artist. My therapy works with the creative souls in all of my clients, from dormant creatives to professional artists. Unfortunately, we all experience trauma of some kind during our lives. Traumatic experiences leave scars on our bodies and our minds that can't speak through words. However, we can listen to and understand our unspeakable pain through the creative arts. Art and creativity are the guides that lead us to healing and solace. Talk therapy is a good a way to get to know you, your coping mechanisms, and identify your goals. We go deeper with creative arts such as drawing and writing, as well as working with the body and mindfulness. Most importantly, you will experience the sense of being understood and seen in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned human being. It is my honor to work with you and witness your precious vulnerability. Much of my effort goes to provide a protective environment so we can work at your own pace and comfort level. Finding a therapist requires courage, and asking for help is a sign of strength. Call me for a free consultation and we'll figure it out together.

Are you an artist, entertainer, or creative struggling with your mental health? Individuals who work with me are often people with big dreams and ambitions, but who also happen to deal with anxiety and depression. They understand that in order to do their best in their work, working on themselves in a must. With my own prior experience working in the arts, I am able to connect to my clients on a deeper level to help them achieve their artistic and personal goals. Helping artists and creatives navigate their mental health has become a life passion, and is the main focus of my private practice. Managing mental health while dealing with the ups and downs of the arts industry is no easy task. Having a provider that understands these unique challenges and addresses them regularly can help. You don't have to go through these challenges on your own, and there is help out there. Please reach out so we can discuss your goals for treatment, and begin your wellness journey! I believe in offering free 15 minute phone call consultations, so we can both see if it is a good fit. Hope to hear from you soon.

My ideal clients are students who have a tremendous reservoir of resources in managing their school-work life balance, despite having experienced a traumatic incident in their life. These students are often those who have experienced a sexual assault and noticed that it has made it difficult for them to stay on top of their workload, connect with others, and more. Other students I enjoy working with are those who are explored their identity in terms of sexual orientation, intimate relationships, and gender identity. These types of students are often very insightful and want to share their thoughts on a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere.
