Whether you are looking for help with relationship issues or ways to manage anxiety, depression, or problems of everyday life, choosing a therapist is one of the most important decisions you can make. When clients feel secure, valued, and understood in the therapeutic relationship, exploration and resolution of difficult life experiences or painful emotions becomes possible. Tailoring psychotherapy to each client's unique needs is one aspect of creating a secure therapeutic bond. I work in a flexible manner, based on experience in diverse schools of therapy, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal.

I see adults of all ages who are experiencing problems related to anxiety, depression and life changes. In addition, we may discuss relationship issues, parenting and vocational concerns. When you think about choosing a therapist, you should consider the experience and orientation of the counselor. I have worked with men and women in individual psychotherapy for over twenty years, with the aim of seeking long lasting solutions for problems at different stages of life. My style involves forming a partnership with you.

I am dedicated to supporting adolescents, adults and families who are facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood regulation. I believe in transparency, open communication and a collaborative approach. My hope is to establish a caring, safe environment where clients can comfortably explore their concerns. I also welcome clients who simply want to learn more about themselves and their lives.

In my counseling work I provide psychotherapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups. My clients include people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. My relational and existential approach helps me understand and connect with my clients. I believe that the intent of therapy is exchanging "symptoms" for "coping skills." To accomplish this transformation, we need to understand our past to shed light on who we are in the present, where we have the power to focus on present issues and make changes that will influence our future.

I am a Clinical Psychologist (in the process of obtaining licensure) who utilizes a person-centered, relational approach. Clinically, I am integrative and combine various treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.

I use evidence-supported treatments in my practice. I specialize in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders in older adolescents and adults. I also treat depression, relationship issues, and life transition challenges. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure/response prevention, and mindfulness/acceptance techniques. I hone and expand my skills through reading, conference attendance, consultation, and the review of ongoing research. I also have decades of past experience treating children and families, divorce, and implementing Collaborative Problem Solving (Think:Kids).

My clinical work is integrative with the goal of helping an individual, couple, or family become more whole. My clients are diverse; I thoroughly enjoy working with the full age range, from high-energy little ones to quietly reflective older folks. Together we create a space where we can collaborate with curiosity and creative mindfulness, a space where the work of psychotherapy enables clients to tap their strengths and develop psychologically. My ideal clients are receptive to change and courageous.

** Not currently accepting new patients ** Psychotherapy can be a profoundly transformative process for those who are curious about their worries, insecurities, and relational struggles. By creating a respectful, non-judgmental, and collaborative relationship, we will develop a greater understanding and acceptance of you and your experience with the goal of living a more gratifying and meaningful life.

If you're feeling off balance - challenged by life's transitions, significant loss, difficult emotions, feelings of confusion, or relationship problems - therapy can help. My view towards therapy is “there is more right with you, than wrong with you." This was said by Jon Kabat Zinn, an early champion of mindfulness in the U.S., and it points to our inherent strengths. I believe we all have the capacity to live with a sense of peace and calm within ourselves and with others. I also believe it’s hard to make changes alone. We can’t think our way out of problems but most of us spend a lot of time trying.

*UPDATE SEPT 2021: I AM NOT, UNFORTUNATELY, ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.* Whether you're worried about your mood, relationship issues, stressful live events, or something else entirely, I can help you to identify the problems you are facing, adapt, and develop new coping skills. Most of my clients are doing really well in their lives until something comes along and they get "stuck"; It's my job to help you get out of that predicament and get to a better emotional place that is more balanced and more stable.

I am a clinical social worker with 30+ years of social work experience.My work with Individuals and families focus on building a strong foundation that can help weather life's stressors. I work with primarily adults 18 and older with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Parenting, Life Transitions, Grief and Bereavement, Aging and Addictive behaviors. When confronting a major loss it is a shock to the body and mind. Working through the grief and pain helps you gain the motivation and confidence to learn to adjust to the changes. Developing courage and acceptance is a process.

I welcome working with adults of all ages to explore challenges of major life transitions, which often involve anxiety, depression, grief, or anger. For clients who want to better manage stress, I teach and coach self-regulation techniques to help build resilience. I partner with those who wish to understand themselves better, treat themselves better, and live more satisfying and meaningful lives. Many find that talking with a therapist helps them to identify their feelings, improve communication and connection to others, find the strength to make necessary changes, and to live a more authentic life.

You deserve focused attention and skilled assistance. In my work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, I provide this attention and assistance through psychotherapy, grief counseling, and coaching, which lead to healing results. If you or your loved one is struggling, feeling stuck, hopeless or trapped, I would welcome the opportunity to hear about you or your loved one's situation and determine if my services are a good match for your needs. I utilize several treatment modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based stress reduction, and motivational interviewing, and adapt my treatment style to your unique needs.

I have been practicing for over 20 years working with adults and couples in all life stages. I am especially effective with men new to therapy and uncomfortable with their emotional lives. I help them to identify the emotions they are feeling and exploring effective ways of expressing themselves. I also specialize in the treatment of anxiety and panic, teaching clients to use cognitive behavioral techniques to better manage their stress and anxiety. In recent years I have worked with first responders such as police, firemen, and military personnel.
