I approach each individual with empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, inviting my clients to explore their emotions and struggles in a safe space. I have supported clients to identify and set boundaries, honor their needs, improve communication, and unlock their innate capabilities. I'm here to offer empathy, support, and guidance as we explore your problems and work together to find solutions. I take my cues from my clients, but maintain a focus on stated goals, and can help give structure to our sessions.

My professional view of counseling is that it is a journey of self exploration by the client, using therapy as a guide to self understanding & self awareness. I, as a marriage and family therapist, use the skills that I have learned and developed throughout my education and clinical experience to facilitate growth in my clients. I am not an expert in any of my clients’ lives, but I strive to learn who they are from them and allow them to make decisions for themselves. I allow the client to guide the session so we can talk about the deep rooted problems when they are ready & tackle the daily struggles that cause anxiety & depression.

My training is vast and includes psychodynamic psychotherapy, positive psychology, motivational interviewing, and behavioral therapies which enables me to tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs. I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation for healing and growth, and my objective is to create a compassionate and safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. I am excited to work with individuals and couples to identify their goals, amend undesirable behaviors, improve relationship patterns, and achieve greater self-acceptance.

If you are struggling to succeed in work or school, dealing with anxiety, depression or loneliness, having problems with relationships, therapy can help you get unstuck so that you can feel more in control of your life.  Through cultivating openness, curiosity and warmth, I work to create a safe place for you to explore what is getting in your way, build your confidence, learn how to deal with difficult emotions, and connect to your strengths. My training and work as a health psychologist have awarded me with a deep appreciation of cognitive and physical health to support your journey towards well-being and life balance.

I specialize in helping people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, phobias, panic attacks and other mental health issues that are interfering with functioning.

My practice is diverse and I am particularly familiar with the legal profession (I worked in this industry for over 30 years), the LGBTQ community, the performing arts community and people in the recovery process. I also enjoy working with people who are going through transitions and want support for making changes in their lives.

When it comes to finding the right therapist for you, there’s no one-size-fits-all! It is my goal to see the full you and to be curious about what you uniquely need as the dynamic human that you are. I honor your personal values, past experiences and place in the world. Above all, I prioritize a feeling of relational safety, and I don’t subscribe to the idea that therapy needs to be uncomfortable or overwhelming; I care about your limits and boundaries and I trust your intuition. I also bring myself into the room with humor and compassion, and you’ll be able to feel my warmth and presence in a reliable and kind way.
