I specialize in helping people experiencing anxiety, depression, impulsive/risk-taking behaviors, and interpersonal conflict. My first priority is in collaborating with my clients to create spaces where change feels possible. I am especially attentive to the ideas of reducing stigma surrounding mental health care, trust associated with strict confidentiality, and increasing motivation using strengths- and evidence-based techniques. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families.

My approach to psychotherapy is that of a humanist; that is, successful therapy results in your continued evolution into your true self. My therapeutic style is gentle and engaged, and I respect your intelligence. I strive to provide an atmosphere of care and compassion which allows you to curiously explore what events, past and present are contributing to your challenges. It's important to me to take the time to understand your values and desires so that our work is grounded in how you see yourself.

Some people seek counseling for emotional issues such as anxiety and depression associated with problems in work, school or family life. Other people enter counseling to help them heal and cope with traumatic events that have taken place in their lives. Counseling works by giving you clarity, support and the courage to move forward in your life.

Feeling disconnected or unsure? Wondering if your relationships could be easier or richer? Does your life look differently than you would like? I work with clients to explore and resolve such issues. I listen and give feedback to help clients find relief from suffering, and strengthen their ability to make change. My practice integrates proven therapeutic techniques with warmth, humor, and compassion. I provide a safe and productive environment for those in the LGBTQI community/ who identify as gender or sexually non-conforming. I specialize in supporting clients in relationships with people experiencing mental illness/ addiction.

It can be difficult to find a good fit with a therapist. But this is most important, since our therapeutic relationship is key to creating the best environment in which you can explore issues and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I enjoy a relaxed style, and facilitate a warm and safe environment for you to express yourself. I enjoy working with social or generalized anxiety, shyness, self-esteem, grief, family, and relationship issues.

Let’s be real, life can be stressful. Whether it’s coping with present day experiences, unpacking past hurts, or finding different ways to be in the future, therapy can help. As a somatic psychotherapist, I believe in your ability to heal, to be present, & to change. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, adjusting to personal & professional life challenges, & sustaining recovery from substance use. I enjoy working with students, professionals, & those in the healthcare field.

My aim is to provide a safe space where I can listen attentively to your concerns and help you explore your feelings,fantasies and thoughts in as honest a way as possible. I want to establish a connection,and together,utilize that relationship to provide you with deeper insight,a greater sense of inner peace, and concrete steps toward a more fulfilling life. The integration of a psychoanalytic approach with mindfulness helps in many areas and is especially effective in making progress with problems of self perception,self absorption and self esteem.

As your therapist, I will aim to clearly understand your current struggles as well as the goals and values you are working towards. My approach is holistic in nature and will weave your life story, strengths and beliefs into our work together. I believe in the healing qualities of honesty and communication and will encourage both to be a part of your therapeutic process. I specialize in many areas, including helping people struggling with eating disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions and low self-esteem.

I think what is most important to each of us is a desire for connection. This is true for children as well as adults. To feel understood is central to a healthy self. As your therapist it is essential that I work to develop your trust and that together we begin to understand who you are.

Taking the step to find a therapist can be overwhelming. I am glad you are here. My goal is to provide a safe space for self-exploration, change, and healing. I work with children, teenagers, adults, and families dealing with a variety of challenges, including painful feelings, emotional numbness, undesired behaviors, unhelpful thinking, mood challenges, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, interpersonal conflict, life changes, and ongoing stress. My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, compassionate, collaborative, and empowering. I see you, I am here for you, and I believe in you.

As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, my primary aim is to offer and provide you with the optimal quality of personalized care possible. That means, in part, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate assessment of your aims and strengths, as well as a close examination of the challenges, issues, and goals that bring you to my office. I respect your courage to confront your possible confusion and frustration, your pain and suffering, and your search for actionable solutions and meaningful life. I honor your sharing relevant personal history and strivings, and my commitment is to work together to enhance your quality of life.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, it is an honor and privilege to walk alongside others. Through my counseling, I purpose to empower individuals to chose the path that leads to healing, wholeness, hope and renewal.

Are you looking for a safe place to discuss what matters most to you? Family, work, relationships, health, transitions, grief, loss, children, trauma, life purpose, letting go of past hurts. I love assisting individuals and couples with relationship skills, communication issues, changing self defeating patterns, healing pain (physical and emotional), and learning to be one's best self across settings. I work with children and families in our ever changing world to improve relationships, performance, self awareness, mood, behavior. I bring my many years of experience working with young and old alike to this passionate pursuit of balanced living.

What I think helps and what I try to do, is create a safe, quiet, comfortable, and caring environment where the client and I can be as "honest" as possible...in terms of being real and authentic, without judgement or false pride. Pride is good; false pride is a defense, hinders self disclosure, and works against the therapy process. Together, in conversation, the client and I, with focused attention, strive to "understand" the problem(s), and co-create possible resolutions, insights, and behavioral interventions.

Does life feel challenging right now? Are you going through a life transition, feeling stuck, or are you an exhausted mom? I'd love to meet you and learn more about you. Everyone deserves to have a safe time and space for personal exploration, release, support, and growth. Together we can create that space in our therapy sessions. We will collaborate through a process of guided discovery, look at both the struggles and strengths you bring, and set attainable goals. I believe every person can find a path to greater meaning, connection, and contentment. I will bring warmth, empathy, and authenticity to our work. I am here to help!

I offer insight, compassion, gentle challenging, and respect in my client relationships. Clients find me straightforward and willing to back-up or change directions if that helps us make progress. I use somatic, body-centered approaches alongside traditional talk therapy. I find this approach works well for treating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, substance use, stress and overwhelm. I am also trained in Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples, which I enjoy very much.

I believe that the clients I work with have an internal desire to be their best selves but that sometimes barriers and obstacles get in the way of that. I have worked with clients in mental health settings that range from children up through geriatric aged individuals. I look forward to helping you to achieve your goals, both in counseling and in life.

**UNFORTUNATELY, MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** My approach to therapy is to build a safe environment for clients where we work to develop coping strategies, interpersonal skills, and insight to move toward emotional and behavioral health. I treat a variety of common issues (e.g., depression, anxiety, school problems, ADHD, and adjustment difficulties) as well as more complex ones, such as those resulting from trauma. I find that therapy is most effective when clients have the support of significant individuals (e.g., parents) and I welcome their inclusion in the treatment process.

My 30 years of practice has allowed me to gain experience around a variety of mental health issues. My initial training focused on integrating Eastern spirituality and Western psychology, and the study of Buddhism has greatly informed my work. I have significant experience working with trauma and anxiety issues, and utilize a cognitive behavioral approach as well as a psychodynamic orientation. I also enjoy working with couples and families. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership and a rewarding process of self discovery.
