Finding new ways to deal with old struggles without direction and support can contribute to depression, anxiety, fear, or conflict.

We serve all ages!

I offer my clients a collaborative, engaging environment where we work together to solve issues. I believe that we hold within ourselves the answers to our conflicts, and often, only require a coach or an assistant to help us realize those answers. I utilize cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational techniques and behavioral principles to engage you in self-discovery and problem solving. In this safe and open environment, we will uncover hidden behavioral tendencies and unhelpful thinking patterns, and we will work together to correct these issues. Becoming aware of these patterns is the key to changing them.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process but congratulations on taking the first step! As your therapist, I aim to foster an environment that is warm, collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Please know that you are not alone! We will work together to identify and build upon your strengths; improve your communication; learn new coping skills; and create lasting changes.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with individuals and couples treating a variety of relational and mental health issues. As an assistant neuropsychological associate to our staff Psychiatrist, I assist in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, attentional issues and cognitive complaints. Through the assessment process, together and in collaboration with our staff Psychiatrist, we establish differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Empathy, compassion and understanding are all traits that I strive for when building a relationship with a client. I believe strong and nourishing relationships are what gives our sessions meaning and purpose. I have experience working in public education and the health and wellness field - specifically yoga. My diverse background of working with people of all ages, abilities and skills can be a helpful tool when rebuilding health and wellbeing for those who seek it. I enjoy incorporating many useful and creative methods in the healing process and encourage my clients to explore and choose the aspects of healing best suited for them

When life becomes overwhelming its easy to withdraw inside or reach towards unhealthy habits. With the right support you can start to feel comfortable in your own skin. If you are curious about what has been holding you back, I provide a compassionate space to let go of what is standing in your way. I offer the tools to identify and work through barriers, as well as support to navigate challenging relationships and emotions.

I work with adults who are looking for support to deal with the challenges of everyday life. I enjoy working with folks to address various relationship challenges, parenting challenges, difficult family dynamics and other life stressors most people struggle with.

These include but are not limited to: emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, social skills and academic stressors.

Oftentimes the overwhelming tasks needed to take charge of a given situation leave us feeling anxious, sad, confused, fearful, etc. Learning new ways to approach any situation will help you to feel more balanced and at peace. Now is your time to do something for YOU.

(Currently accepting new clients!) The opportunity to hear my clients’ stories and partner with them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing, is one of my life’s greatest privileges. In a warm and accepting environment, I help adults, couples and families identify their goals and take steps to improve their lives. I have extensive experience helping people improve their relationships, process and heal from trauma, and overcome a variety of anxiety and mood-related issues.

My clients are motivated for healing and are open to mindfulness techniques to create transformation and change. They want to explore their shadow side and integrate all parts of them into one whole healthy being. They are open to creative approaches to therapy. They understand the importance of bringing to awareness their core beliefs and posses a desire to cultivate a sense of integration and wholeness through body centered work. My clients understand that trauma is held in their bodies and they are committed to this self exploration to shifting patterns that no longer serve them.

Taking care of one's mental health is a necessary part of being healthy and achieving contentment. Engaging in therapy can be a challenging, yet rewarding process. It can be both reactive and proactive. Through building a therapeutic relationship I partner with my clients to assist them with creating positive, long lasting change in their lives. I stress with every client the importance of engaging in self-care and establishing healthy boundaries.

In my 30+ years of experience as a therapist, I have worked with a wide and very diverse array of clients, whose issues have ranged from mild and transient to severe and chronic. I opened my private practice roughly seven years ago, having worked previously for various mental health agencies. I have a special interest in working with gay and lesbian clients, who may be having associated lifestyle or relationship issues. I also have a special interest in adults who were abused or neglected as children and who struggle with depression or chronic esteem problems as adults.

Childhood and adolescence are, by their very nature, times of growth and change. A broad range of stressors and challenges can get in the way of an individual's ability to successfully negotiate their personal pathway. It is my professional goal and personal commitment to assist children and adolescents (and their families) in identifying barriers to learning and successful social emotional functioning; and to provide effective interventions to help them overcome those barriers.

As a practical, interactive therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.rnrnBlending conventional and alternatives approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

I create a safe, supportive environment so that you feel comfortable sharing information that will allow me to help you. I am an engaged listener, and I enjoy asking questions and occasionally assigning "homework" as we work through obstacles that are preventing you from achieving your goals.

***Waitlist Only*** Therapy can and should be an enriching place to safely begin the process of healing and growth. Therapy requires dedication and a willingness to touch both dark and light areas of your life, and it is my goal to help you move through both worlds safely and supportively. While we cannot predict our future, we can be present in the journey. My goal is to help clients feel empowered by their work in therapy, obtain personal growth, awareness, and fulfillment, and ultimately lead a more balanced, peaceful, and rewarding life however that may look to each person.
