I'm a firm believer in promoting positive change within by building upon the strengths we have inside of us and learning self acceptance as a path to happiness. I work with those who suffer from anxiety and depression, and specialize in working using a holistic approach to treatment. For the past 25 years I have been working with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression and I can tell you for certain two things: You are not alone and you do not need to suffer. My practice can accommodate adolescents and adults in individual, family and group settings.

We all have times in our lives that we struggle, feel stuck, or face challenges. I believe that seeking therapy is a strength and that Therapy is a powerful tool that can result in healing, growth, and positive change. Sometimes taking the first step can be the hardest, but well worth it. If you're ready to take that step, then let me help you reach your goals by working collaboratively together. I have worked with many clients around issues that include anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, grief and loss, life transitions, women’s issues, parenting, chronic illness, substance use and dual diagnosis.

For me, psychotherapy must address the needs of the person. Sometimes this can mean exploring how you got to the point you are at, and how you want to change; and sometimes you may want specific tools to address a very specific issue. Finding the right therapist is perhaps one of the most important choices you will make and also one of the most difficult. Although a therapist may have an armory of techniques to use, what I have found to be at the heart of any type of psychotherapy is whether the relationship works between you and your therapist.

My approach to working with individuals and families is varied, depending on the specific needs and goals of each client. With a focus on client-centered and strength-based therapeutic models, I have found it most beneficial and effective to incorporate a variety of modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Supportive Therapy based on the needs of the individual or family I am working with. Recognizing where my clients are in their growth and development is a key factor in the approach taken when working with them.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and to enhance their quality of life. My approach to therapy is to support individuals in the process of healing, self-improvement, reconnecting to ones authentic self, and to be a guide in deriving meaning from all of life’s experiences. I use a mind-body-spiritual framework focusing on the interconnection between mental, physical, and emotional well-being. I help individuals develop personalized tools and strategies to improve their relationships, recognize and release toxic patterns, overcome addictions, and transmute fears for a joyful, balanced life.

I have over 23 years experience working with teenagers and adults, I bring to sessions a solid combination of skills and empathy that support and guide my clients and their families.

Self care, mindfulness and mood management tools.

Creating change in your life and within your family relationships is possible! I support clients through the process of clarifying their goals and addressing the things that have been getting in the way of reaching them. I believe that every individual and family is unique and will provide clients with a balance of warmth and structure as I work with them to target and address the "why" behind their identified problem(s). I'm a family systems thinker and use elements of solution focused, cognitive behavioral, and The Gottman Method approach to therapy.

How do you decide it's time to seek help through psychotherapy? For many people, the decision is clear; a significant event occurs or disruptive symptoms arise. For others, the decision is less obvious-maybe you haven't been feeling like yourself lately, you worry more than others or just sense that things could be better. As a client-centered therapist, I work with clients on their goals and to join them on their journey to wellness. I offer clinical expertise to provide guidance, new perspectives, and to raise awareness of underlying issues that may be behind current problems.

We all want to feel comfortable and safe. More specifically, most people want to feel effective and confident, especially when it comes to relationships. We want to feel included, appreciated, and loved. Sometimes these things may seem out of reach, or you may be struggling with other challenges that leave you feeling stuck, discouraged, or hopeless. Seeking support from someone with expertise relating to the human experience may be what you need to feel more empowered and in control of your life.

You smile and say “I’m fine” but it's not true. You don’t necessarily know what’s wrong so sometimes you even convince yourself you're OK.

You’ve learned to cope by scrolling on your phone and self-medicating. You want to learn healthier coping skills. You want to talk to someone who only has YOU in mind. You hear people talk about going to therapy and you think it‘s a good idea but you don’t know where to start. Seeking help, whether for yourself or your teen, can be an exhausting task.
