Searching for a therapist is difficult, but finding a good fit is important to making therapy successful. In my work with children, teenagers, and adults, I work to create an environment and process that helps work towards getting out of negative patterns and cycles by learning to identify them.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents. Clients describe me as being compassionate and non judgmental which helps to create a safe space to explore even the most difficult topics. I use several different modalities including mindfulness, positive psychology, and transpersonal theory. I believe in a mind body and spirit connection. Therapy is about supporting you in getting beneath the layers of habit, addiction, stress and obsessive thinking and help you recognize the essential self within rather than relying only on the mind, which is often the source of negativity.

I work with children, adolescents, families, adults and seniors through individual, family, couples and marital counseling. I work with clients who have been abused, traumatized, neglected and are struggling and attempting to cope with issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, separation anxiety, anger management, co-dependence, adolescence, preparing and moving to college, family stressors and dynamics, parenting, divorce, co-parenting, school issues, employment issues, job loss, retirement, grief, and alienation.

Our Childhood, history, and personal myths about ourselves are powerful forces that have the ability to shape our interpersonal relationships and behaviors; worldview and ourselves. At some point, we have all experiences, challenges or life altering experiences that will have the ability to change our trajectory, bring us to a cross road or that will challenge our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Through my work with individuals, families and couples I have enjoyed helping others to navigate these obstacles in order to transform these adverse experiences into opportunities of growth.

I have extensive experience with both anxiety and depression for children and adults. My practice focus is on today's lifestyle that can be overwhelming with stress that inhibits our peace and happiness. Your not alone and through supportive intervention, we can identify strengths and coping skills to manage uncomfortable symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Stress including change, transitions, loss can lead us to feel distressed and struggle with how to cope. I provide expertise in building strategies to increase our ability to manage distress, grief, and symptoms.

What do you think of therapy? Does it intimidate you? In your thoughts, do you think the therapist is an out of touch, stodgy, judgmental person prying into sensitive topics or boring you with monotone lectures? Could therapy actually be fun? Or something you look forward to? What if therapy didn’t have to be scary or always serious but a time you set aside for yourself which you actually enjoy?
