"Every person I serve has a unique story. I have found that, while some clients experience trouble in just one area, most are experiencing difficulty in two or more areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life."

Whether you're adjusting to a new phase in life, frequently bothered by past adversity, or are anxious about potential future events, you are not alone. Overall, transitions, challenges, and successes are parts of life. The good news is that you already have many of the resources to navigate through these parts. Much of what you need lies within you. In our time together, you will gain additional tools and skills to equip you as you face perceived challenges.

You don't have to settle; you can break old patterns or habits and heal past traumas and hurts. We have lots of opportunities to make choices in life; are you ready to choose you?

Whether you're wrestling with a work-related challenge or a situation in your intimate relationship, I can offer you a safe space, a ready ear, and help with the choices you're trying to make. Feel heard, understood, and confident in your decisions. That's what therapy offers.

Gender and sexuality define who we are, the way we love, and how we connect with others. Diverse and, therefore, controversial, our gender and our sexuality are too often handled without acknowledgment of the power they hold. I work with marginalized identifies, including but not limited transgender, non-binary, intersexed, gay, lesbian, bisexual and non-monogamy.

I am currently not accepting new client referrals. My greatest pleasure is in seeing the people I work with grow, develop new skills, and make choices that bring more joy into their lives and into the lives of their families. I consult with parents to improve discipline and strengthen the parent-child relationship.

I am a psychodynamically-oriented psychotherapist that works with individuals experiencing relational difficulties and/or disruptions in their overall sense of self, oftentimes resulting in emerging or worsening psychological symptoms. I aid individuals in exploring the mental compromises that have contributed to their symptoms, revealing or revisiting underlying conflicts, and reworking them in the context of the therapeutic situation. In respecting the complexity of those that work with me, I do not provide instruction on how to think or behave "rationally." Instead, I engage deeply with their internal world, nurturing growth in themselves and with others.

We all strive to find our way in a difficult world. Yet many people find themselves feeling alone and misunderstood. I specialize in helping people with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and legal issues. I work primarily with adults and adolescents and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

As far as most people know you have a great life, but deep down you know something is missing. You feel anxious, guilty, overwhelmed, resentful and exhausted. Despite your achievements, your life is not fulfilling. You don't feel "good enough." You feel empty. Your life has become an overscheduled calendar and endless to do list. This isn't the life you dreamed of but you're not sure where to start. It's time to make a change. You deserve to live a fulfilled and authentic life.

I use various therapeutic techniques to assist individuals, couples, and families take the journey into discovery and healing. Marcel Proust states, "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Through counseling, it is my goal to help individuals and/or families gain new "eyes" through which to view current or past experiences and to discover how thoughts and beliefs shape our moods, behaviors, and relationships. James Allen states, "The life we lead is created by our thoughts. If we would like to improve our life we will have to improve our thoughts."
