Welcome! Seeking therapy is an investment in yourself and your future. The key to achieving results begins by choosing a therapist who is a good fit for you. I invite you to have a conversation with me and explore whether we would work well together. I’m an experienced clinician and my practice focuses on anxiety, depression, medical illness, and everyday stressors. My therapy style is interactive and collaborative. You will leave our sessions with coping tools to help meet your goals and improve your wellbeing. Together we will develop a plan for navigating whatever concern led you to Talkspace today.
