Life is SO hard now. Rates of anxiety and depression have nearly tripled since 2020! Many feel like a good life is not possible. But not you, not now. I know this because you are looking for a therapist - at least a small part of you remains hopeful. Work with me. NO psychobabble, just plain English. You'll learn that it's possible for you to pay close attention to the present without fearing what you will find. Begin to comfortably FEEL your feelings and rediscover your worth. I will listen. Your concerns DESERVE attention; I will be your partner in healing so that you can live life fully and with hope for the future.
I survived raising a child with an unknown disability. I promised myself that - IF - I came out the other side, I would help other people cope with similar chronically stressful life circumstances. I became a clinical psychologist to be able to help someone like you. Use your insurance to receive EMDR and other specialized, strength-based therapies.
Since the start of the pandemic, life has been like a series of ongoing mini-traumas. You can learn to handle those recurring obstacles. Whatever you are going through, I'll be on YOUR side. Reach out. Things can be better. Together we can find the ways to make your life fullfilling and meanful again. Join me and rediscover hope.

I help people who are struggling. We will work to become a team and then focus on finding the sources of your difficulties & developing a plan so that you can feel better. Beginning therapy can be stressful but its worthwhile. Its likely that you will begin to see your symptoms begin to improve within the first month. After treatment, you can expect long-lasting symptom relief.

I use strengths-based therapies that allow you to build on past successes. Some are "top-down" therapies such as CBT that rely on speech and language use. Others are "bottom-up" therapies that rely on feelings that are hard or impossible to express in words. I find that combining both of these types of techniques works better than either one alone.
