Therapy is a journey to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Each one of life's stages presents with different challenges and choices to be made. As you lead the way, I will accompany you on your journey and illuminate areas from your past that may be impeding upon the present. I will help you identify and explore ways of navigating and overcoming obstacles to your goals. I have many years experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and relationship issues, as well as work with children and families, that provide me with insight in treating adults.

I believe that therapy is an inherently paradoxical process. We want to feel better, but sometimes the only way to do so is through sadness, pain or anger. We go because we want to change, but it feels much safer to stay the same. We want to expand our comfort zone, but can do so only by traveling to uncomfortable places. I try to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be challenged and where you can stretch yourself sufficiently to achieve the lasting positive change you desire.

I work best with Individuals and couples in recovery from addiction as well as those families and friends affected by the chaos born of addiction. I work often with those who are in the midst of big life transitions; with self esteem issues; and individuals and couples who have difficulty with intimacy. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you finally ready to make some changes? Are you willing to take a long, compassionate look at how you got to this point and what steps you will need to take to begin a process of change?

"The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves." Many struggles in life are made worse by our own harsh judgment and guilt about our experience. I strive to foster a genuine, Com, validating, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. I work collaboratively with individuals to assist them in recognizing their capacity for change and increasing self-compassion and self-esteem to improve their quality of life. In therapy, I support patients in gaining greater insight and understanding, as well as acquiring the skills necessary to conquer their unique experience of suffering.

Whether you are stuck making a significant life decision, feel overwhelmed by life, feel hopeless or detached from your own power, or simply cant seem to connect with others in a meaningful way, you likely are reading this because you want to reach a better place. I can point you to new avenues, give you concrete tools to use every day and make you feel heard and understood. I help people who are having relationship problems improve their communication skills, navigate conflict and disagreements, set healthy boundaries, make confident decisions, overcome guilt and shame and reach forgiveness of self and others.

At times we find ourselves unhappy and stuck in unproductive and often painful patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving and relating. Through a collaborative, interactive therapeutic relationship I help people achieve greater self-understanding and self-awareness so they can change and grow, and find a way forward into happier and healthier ways of being.

I believe the most important element of effective psychotherapy is the genuine connection between the patient and therapist. My approach to therapy is interactive, supportive, and empathic. I see psychotherapy as a creative process and my patients as co-partners in this process of exploration and discovery.

My goal is to help you find your inner resources and strengths so that you can heal, grow, thrive and create the best life you envision for yourself. As a therapist I bring empathy, safety and compassion to my sessions with you, as well as an active, no-nonsense approach that cuts through to the real issues.

Do they struggle with addictions or other behavioral problems? A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation will help your child achieve their potential. Following the evaluation, you will receive a report detailing the diagnosis and any further weaknesses that your child may be experiencing. Clear solutions including recommendations for home and school will be provided.

We all encounter stress, setbacks, and challenges in life. In my work with adults, many common symptoms are experienced: Difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, feelng jittery - the recognition that we are working too much and not taking good care of ourselves, or are unhappy with our body image - or not enjoying things we once liked to do, inclined to withdraw from relationshops or having trouble communicating; felt irritable, easily provoked to argument, used alcohol (shopping, gambling, etc.) as a means of escape, and felt sad, alone, or tired? These are all symptoms that something needs to change.

When you're dealing with the effects of trauma and its overwhelming ability to permeate into all aspects of life, discussing these issues can feel like an unachievable mountain to climb. You may feel overwhelmed by frustration, shame, loss, pain, anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness about repairing any sense of trust. You may ask yourself: Why does it always feel like I'm treading water? Where do I even begin? As a relationally focused psychotherapist, I work through a harm reductionist lens to help guide and reframe your relationship to yourself and others, from a source of anxiety and isolation
