"My approach to therapy is best described as compassionate, no-nonsense, get-out-of-your-own way therapy. I believe that every client is unique and my sessions are completely customized depending on the client's issues and goals. My therapeutic approach includes a distinct combination of evidenced-based treatment (DBT, ACT) mindfulness, Brainspotting and my personal touch. Many of my clients describe my therapy as "therapy for cynics, or therapy for women who don't like therapy," because of my non-traditional and fresh approach."

"I believe that going to therapy is one of the greatest acts of courage and hopefulness one can engage in. It is identifying a problem in one's life, and committing to changing it. For the past 17 years, I have valued work with clients from diverse backgrounds who have allowed me into their lives in order to explore and partner with them in addressing problems. The issues we have worked on together have included anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting issues, life/work balance, trauma, and Attention Deficit Disorder."

"If you ventured onto this site, I imagine you may be dealing with a stressor that is overwhelming. You took the first important step towards getting help, and that is great. I am a licensed clinical therapist with 13 years of experience working with individuals that are dealing with a variety of circumstances, including mental health issues, life transitions, and difficulty managing stress. The most important thing to me is understanding your particular situation, how you are experiencing life, and working together to teach you tools and techniques you can use to instill hope, peace of mind, and life satisfaction."

"You wonder if other parents are having the same concerns about their child as you are. Your child wasn't always like this, but you're becoming increasingly concerned as you notice your child struggling to manage big feelings, withdrawing from the family, getting into unhealthy relationships, and struggling to deal with stress effectively. I specialize in working with children, and teen and young adult women who are struggling with issues of self-esteem, stress management, and navigating peer and romantic relationships.

I use a variety of methods in my work, including relational, cognitive, behavioral, and emotion-focused interventions in an integrative fashion to address each person's unique concerns.

"Your counseling is a time for personal growth that requires a collaborative relationship between the client and the therapist, and the creation of a "safe" atmosphere that is based on trust, warmth, and genuineness. I tailor my approach to each client's goals, and use techniques that have been shown to be effective. In general, we will work together to establish your goals for counseling and I will suggest the use of an appropriate therapeutic approach. In addition, I will use a variety of techniques and tools that you can use to achieve your therapeutic goals."

"Food and body image consume every aspect of your life. Looking in a mirror leads to cringing and criticizing the parts of your body that you wish were different.

Have you experienced trauma that has impacted your ability to feel safe? I believe the legacy of complex trauma can interfere with one's ability to connect with others, which is essential to healing. Experiences up until this point do not have to dictate our future experiences. With over 15 years of professional practice, I have helped many people like yourself understand the complex dynamics that underlie these adverse experiences."

I strive to create a partnership with clients and I work to create a safe, warm, nurturing and empathic space, from within great change is possible!"

"Existing in modern society and culture can be extraordinarily overwhelming, stressful, and even painful. Often times, we are forced to self-abandon in favor of taking care of our most basic needs. It can be easy to become disconnected from what makes us feel most alive and nourished. The truth is that we have a choice. We don't have to stand for living in a way that makes us feel less than whole. We each have access to an intrinsic wisdom and truth that resides beneath the beliefs and stories we tell ourselves."

"A supportive, respectful, and trusting relationship between you and your therapist is paramount to the effectiveness of the therapy. My practice offers an alternative to large, impersonal mental health settings, and a personalized approach that encompasses current evidence-based and traditional treatment. I work primarily with individuals and couples who are struggling with life's difficulties. My personal specialties include relationship issues, anxiety, depression and grieving. My book, Loving Someone with Asperger's Syndrome: Understanding and Connecting with Your Partner, was released in 2012."
