Therapeutic Style
I offer a safe and judgment-free space where we can begin the healing process together. My goal is to help you rebuild your emotional wellbeing and move forward toward a healthier, more purposeful life. In our early work, we will center on how you take care of yourself; tracking immediate and tangible progress while also exploring and addressing the deeper roots of issues. Only when self-esteem and confidence are actively being built can one seek properly to help with the wants and needs of others. Building trust is at the heart of my practice. I provide a reliable and compassionate partnership to support you on your journey toward self-healing. Every person’s journey is unique, and we collaborate to tailor each session to fit your individual needs. Together, we will create a plan that works for you, helping you overcome challenges at your own pace. I am not only your therapist for 45 minutes per week — I take my role seriously as part of a strong support system in your emotional wellbeing and treat it to the highest of standards as a full-time job. Our work together is one of back-and-forth feedback and constant evolution and examination of where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. I am tremendously excited to potentially work alongside you.
What Makes Me Unique
My most recent and impactful work has been treating gambling addiction, for which our society is wildly under-resourced and is just now entering the early stages of what will soon become a nationally problematic epidemic. I have drawn upon my years of experience and expertise in dealing with a variety of compulsive behaviors and addictions to inform my approach to gambling addiction, which has several unique characteristics (e.g. instant accessibility, mainstream advertising and normalization, states turning profits, the dangers of false hope that accompany a 'one last time' mentality). I consciously try to do my part in continuously de-stigmatizing individual and cultural beliefs regarding seeking help for mental and emotional well-being.

Coping with “Invisible Grief” During the Holidays
Grief is complicated, complex and heavy. As a grief therapist and an active griever myself, I know how difficult the holidays can feel especially when you are coping with disenfranchised grief, or “invisible grief” as I like to call it. After a while, all grief feels invisible in western culture, we barely acknowledge grief, even though it is a natural part of life and something we all go through. However, there is some grief that we are truly given no tools for, and it feels like we do not have any space at all to grieve.
