West Lake Psychological Services

Do you sometimes feel stuck in parts of your life? Do you notice the same problems keep happening in your relationships or career? Therapy provides a space to examine how you perceive yourself and the world. It also helps with discussing and processing difficult and painful feelings. These feelings provide new insight into ways to grow and change. My approach to therapy is based on ingredients proven to help, such as a good connection with your therapist and feeling understood and supported. I'm a graduate of Duke University; I completed my doctorate at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Rochester. Most recently, I was a generalist at Cornell Health, where I focused on interdisciplinary clinical care. I specialize in working with adults seeking improvements in their well-being through behavior or identity change, who are open to acceptance and gentle accountability as vehicles for change. I know it takes a lot of strength and courage to start this process, and I respect that. We'll schedule our first session during your initial consultation. We'll discuss your current concerns and mental health history in the first session and develop a plan of care that feels right to you.
