Welcome! I am here to offer you help through life’s most difficult transitions. Anxiety, depression, past trauma, and current stressors can weigh us down.

Psychotherapy can benefit people facing a range of challenges.

Why is it that the most important relationship in our lives is often the one that gets the least attention? Self-care is so essential, and yet many of us leave it for last or skip it all together. Many of us in today’s society feel enormous pressure to do and have it all, often at the expense of our happiness and mental health. The resulting anxiety, stress, and depression can be difficult to manage on your own. In my practice, I focus on the therapeutic relationship and interpersonal connection, as I believe that trust and an open dialogue are the first steps in achieving meaningful change.

With the continuing rise in anxiety and depression, it is becoming increasingly more important to go inward and pinpoint what is weighing on you. In therapy, we will uncover the source of your pain, resolve problems with self-acceptance, and correct negative re-occurring patterns. We will eliminate the barriers that have been preventing you from living up to your fullest potential and achieving deep fulfillment in life. With hard work and my expertise, success is possible regardless of past circumstances. My interventions are grounded in Trauma and Attachment theory and the body-mind connection.

Hello and welcome to my practice. Asking for help is not easy, so I am so glad you are here! Therapists are not a one size fits all and finding the right fit for you, your family, and/or your child is so important for therapy to be successful. My approach with clients is always collaborative, genuine and warm, and I use both empathy and humor. I am client-centered, strengths based, and solutions focused. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities to correspond with the needs of each individual client, meeting them where they are at.

Attention...what does it take to get our attention? Usually, it's something unfamiliar. I work with individuals who experience a "symptom," a grief, a depression, an anxiety, a life-threatening illness, a crisis in an important relationship; a time when you are asked to pause, to pay attention to your self and bring curiosity to your life. A symptom is an invitation to look at the story of your life and visit where you have felt alone and where you need to come home to yourself in order to make this issue transform and experience more fulfillment.

When difficult personal and family issues occur, working with a very experienced and well trained therapist can really help. I have been in practice for 35 years, helping individuals, couples and families find solutions to problems with anxiety, ADHD, depression, phobias, OCD and trauma related issues. We will work together to take a comprehensive evaluation of your situation, and then focus in on specific changes that will to improve things. Our work may utilize individual, couples, family work, or a combination of these modalities. I work collaboratively with other professionals and school staff as needed.

Life inevitably involves struggle. The goal of therapy is to understand the source of your current struggles in order to live more fully and effectively. In my experience, life difficulties are either long standing or acute. The enduring difficulties are often the result of underlying patterns that result in feeling stuck, anxious or depressed. These patterns may manifest in relationship problems, parenting difficulties or low self esteem. Acute situations, such as death or divorce, take time to process and can trigger earlier losses. In either situation, the wish to function and feel better is what motivates us to seek therapy.

Starting psychotherapy is a brave step towards change. Finding the right psychotherapist can be challenging. In your initial consultation we can discuss the reasons that bring you in, what you expect to get out of treatment, and a plan that suits your needs. We can also discuss scheduling and fees. All with the goal of finding out if I am a good fit for you. I have expertise working with adults struggling with relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I believe that in psychotherapy a person's relationship patterns can be understood and reconfigured, giving way to new ones.

Anxiety distorts our thinking and can complicate our lives. As a trauma-informed therapist, I help my clients heal from the experiences that made them feel unsafe, insecure, and disconnected from others. To truly live in the present without anxious distress, we must discover what experiences we are holding onto with therapeutic support. I have been helping clients heal from trauma for over a decade. I treat each person I work with as a unique individual and do not believe in one approach to therapy. I specialize in treating PTSD. I also work with clients who struggle with addiction and anxiety.
