Are you depressed or anxious? Has trauma left a seemingly indelible print on your life?
If you are stuck in frustrating thought and behavior patterns that you would like to change but don't know how, you need a counselor who understands what you are going through and knows how to help you.
Whatever your challenges are, we can utilize them as a catalyst for the growth of new hope, strength, and resilience.
I specialize in identifying and addressing the issues at the root of your distress. We’ll use mindfulness and self-compassion practices, somatic strategies for nervous system regulation, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you make lasting changes.
Learn the tools you need to create a healthier and more satisfying life.
I will teach you positive coping skills to deal with difficult emotions and situations and ask you to practice them in between sessions to build your autonomy. As these skills replace your previous dysfunctional coping methods, your depression and anxiety will dissipate. You will increasingly embody and empower your authentic self.
We’ll work together to identify and change negative beliefs that unconsciously shape your experience. As we create healthier mindsets, you will find new enjoyment, ease, and satisfaction.
My style is empathic and affirming. I welcome clients from all racial and ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. I have multi-cultural counseling and Safe Zone training.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield as well as self-paying clients. Sometimes, reimbursement to clients by out-of-network insurers is also an option.
What are the fees?
For insured clients, my fee is set by Blue Cross Blue Shield and varies from plan to plan between $153 and $189 for a one-hour session. You are responsible for the full fee until you have met your plan’s deductible amount. After that, you will have a co-pay, usually between $30 and $50 per session. I will file your claims for you.
For self-paying and out-of-network clients my fee is $189 per hour. Out-of-network clients pay me and then submit paperwork to their insurance company for reimbursement.
