Over 30 years experience of counseling individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, marital and/or relationship issues, family conflicts, coping skills, mental illness, attachment disorder, post traumatic syndrome, abuse and other challenges of daily life. My approach is to work collaboratively with my clients, creating positive change in a non judgmental environment.

I have been a therapist for over 20 years. In my private practice, I specialize in personal development, trauma, and life's many transitions. I offer psychotherapy services to help individuals and families learn to fully express themselves with more confidence, make deeper connections with others, and to live a more authentic, meaningful life. I bring warmth, compassion, and humor to the therapeutic process and relationship. My main goal is to help my clients to feel happier, have deeper, authentic relationships and improve their overall quality of life.

I work mostly with women who experience issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, rage, feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed. I also assist people struggling with depression and anxiety related to everyday life issues. I am trained in EMDR which reduces negative emotion associated with trauma. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing has drastically changed how I approach trauma and has made a world of difference for the people I work with. Most of the people I work with need validation, insight and support and sometimes struggle with reaching out for help.

We all yearn to feel understood, validated and accepted; to find balance in thought, feeling and action. Often we can feel stuck in an emotional state (i.e. sadness, depression, anxiety, fear, etc.), a particular situation or a toxic relationship with ourselves or others. Psychotherapy can bring about personal transformation, help us better understand ourselves and process life's turbulence as well as it's gifts. With insight, compassion and a little bit of humor we will work to incorporate emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects of self in order to help you access your strengths and intuition to become your most authentic self.

Life is tough. Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck? I am here for you. Sometimes words are just not enough. Our bodies tell us things all the time. I will help you, or your child, to develop awareness of those signs, and work to identify coping skills to best support you. Art making and creativity in art therapy allow you to break through barriers from the inside out. You may discover an alternative way to communicate your thoughts, feelings and needs. Let's explore the patterns that are no longer serving you. We can work as a team to navigate life barriers and get you back to a fulfilling routine.

I have 15 years of experience working in the community with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, OCD, and other disorders as well. I’ve worked with adults, adolescents, and children in varied settings. In inpatient hospital settings, and partial hospital settings as well as at my private practice. I use varied therapeutic modalities that are tailored to the specific needs of my client. I utilize empathy and compassion to tailor my therapeutic interventions to the needs of you or your child. I can assist with family issues, behavioral issues, marital issues and psychiatric issues.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming for teens, and adults. School, work, relationships, family issues, trauma, life transitions and social pressure can become challenging to cope with. These difficulties, in addition to other personal struggles, can lead to trouble in school or work, anxiety, depression, PTSD, opposition and defiance, irritability, relationship instability, feelings of low self esteem, and other concerns. We can work together to help you, or your child navigate a way towards a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

Providing home based therapy allows me to more easily connect to my clients. My passion is to work with children, adolescents and their families. Sometimes life stressors can have a negtive impact on our life. After completing a thorough assessment, together we will develop a treatment plan to address a child/adolescents individual concerns, or a families concerns. I believe that a significant part of therapy is to expose my clients to a variety of coping skills and practice them until they are used in their day to day life.

Do you or your child have problems regulating emotions? Do emotions go from 0-100 in no time with a tendency to have outbursts? Have you noticed a change in yourself or your family member? Are you concerned that you or your family member are unhappy? We offer a warm, genuine, and skillful approach to treatment in which children/adolescents/ adults learn that its ok to be emotional. That being sensitive is not a bad thing at all . Although others may not understand , we sit with you, listen, observe, and we will ride this journey together. We have helped thousands of families to heal. Let us offer you the same hope.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with emotions, lost and alone, or disconnected from yourself and those around you? Together we can work to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and explore patterns that are no longer serving you. With compassion and empowerment, I will walk alongside you as you build upon your strengths, cultivate resilience and find more satisfaction in relationships. I have been honored over the years to accompany adults and teens on their therapeutic journey as they work through eating disorder recovery, body image concerns, anxiety, challenging life transitions, suicidal thoughts, and various traumas.

I work with clients ready to do the work of connecting with the self in the present moment. As a certified mindfulness instructor and a mindfulness practitioner, I bring mindful presence to the therapeutic process. Using somatic, integrative, intuitive and mindful self-compassion principles, I hold space for my clients to understand their inner wisdom and knowing. Clients who are willing to cultivate awareness and recognize their patterns, conditioning and reactivity based on their childhood and environment will benefit greatly from our therapeutic relationship.

I would love to help you create the changes you are seeking and in turn find your authentic self. I am client centered and my approach is individualized to meet your personal needs and goals. I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and together we can find and work on the issues that you feel are holding you back from having the life you want to be living.

A comprehensive assessment of each individual's needs will be the first step to determine the type of treatment. Respect for each individual's time, circumstances and targeted goals will be kept in the forefront of all treatment decisions. I welcome parents to be prepared to participate thoroughly in the treatment of their child, preteen or adolescent. Therapeutic care requires commitment from the family and the individual. Adult clients will value the secure and growth promoting interventions used that lead to meaningful emotional regulation and change.

You, too, can be a young person who is happy where they are and excited for where they are going! As a licensed mental health counselor working primarily with teens, college-age, and young adults, I am passionate about helping young people identify and address their needs in order to help them reach their full potential. I have an abundance of experience in working with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, peer relationships, family conflict, and college/career readiness.
