Everyone thinks you have it all together but deep down you’re crumbling on the inside. The fear of judgement forces you to suppress it. So you keep a smile on your face and constantly show up for others even when you don’t want to because you don’t want to let them down and prove you can’t handle as much as they thought. You push through everyday, and find yourself feeling exhausted, alone, and frustrated because no-one understands and shows up when you need it most. You know you need to put yourself first to get the happiness you want, but you don’t know where to start.

Life is like an ocean of possibilities. There are times in life that you are floating along just fine, times were you are riding high on the waves, and then there are times you feel like you are caught in a strong under current, struggling to keep from drowning. Whether you are dealing with depression, emotional challenges, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions and circumstances, you do not have to navigate them alone. My role as your therapist is to support and challenge you to reach your personal goals, with compassion and understanding, in an empathetic, judgment free partnership.

We are all facing challenges in our life. Sometimes these are difficult to overcome without assistance. Are you at a crossroad or going through a life transition and need some guidance? Do you want to become more satisfied with your life? Are you going through stressful or uncertain times? Therapy can help you in navigating your concerns by providing you with strategies and tools to overcome your challenges.

It has been pointed out to me by clients, colleagues, family and friends that they find it easy to talk to me. It is not uncommon for strangers to share there challenges and successes with me after a few words of casual conversation. If I were to list what I thought allows me to build rapport so easily, I would have to say that I believe it is because people are able to sense that I care about them genuinely. As a therapist, I care about seeing each one of my clients reach the goals that they set for themselves.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ... Life can feel so upside down right now. Perhaps you are experiencing loss, a struggle, dealing with grief, setbacks in life, feelings of sadness or despair, anxious or just unsure of how to cope during these unknown times. While such feelings are difficult and real, pain and growth in life can coexist. What is most important is, today you have taken a positive first step seeking support. You have made a choice to do something different with your life. Our mind, which means our thinking, our brain and our body serve as indicators of what's working or not.

(I am not accepting clients at this time.) I believe that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental place for my clients to share and start their healing process. I feel that the therapeutic relationship comes first, and is the most important piece to foster change. I am here for you, and I will meet you where you are on your journey to healing with empathy, understanding and support. Your therapeutic experience will be tailored to fit your needs, values and beliefs.

I'm a clinical psychologist who enjoys working with adults to solve life's challenges in individual and couples therapy. My clients mostly struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. I also work with couples to gain a more satisfying relationship based on friendship and intimacy. While therapy can seem like an uncertain journey, it often leads to remarkable growth and self-discovery with the right professional support.

My interactions with clients are grounded in compassion, respect, empathy, and an understanding of cultural impacts. I consider the role of a therapist as helping to educate and empower clients so that they develop the insight and skills necessary to overcome their own personal and situational challenges.

*I will be offering surf therapy this summer, starting 6/4/2021, and I'm taking clients!* Have you been considering starting therapy? Life has a number of ways of making us feel stuck, and I understand how taking that first step to getting back to yourself can be intimidating. I’m here to help you along that journey. I work with individuals who are living with anxiety and depression, having difficulty coping with stress, coping with grief and loss, having difficulties with relationships, and/or have experienced a trauma and/or adverse childhood experiences. I also provide play therapy for children.

Life can be hard. No matter how healthy, smart, hardworking or successful we may be, we can find ourselves facing unexpected challenges and feeling overwhelmed or confused. I work with adults of all ages and walks of life. Some are depressed or anxious or angry or grieving. Some want to grow or understand themselves better. If you want to grow; if you are struggling; if your challenge is too complex to work through on your own; if you do not want to burden family or friends; then working with a therapist can be helpful and emotionally safe.

It is my intent to raise awareness about mental health issues. Why is it important (glad you asked)? Because it affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Let’s reduce the stigma related to mental illness. The more we talk about mental health conditions, the more normalized it becomes. Starting the conversation is the first step. Let’s talk!

January 2017: I am not currently taking new patients at this time. I am a warm and charismatic provider and am excited to become a resource and support for you. If you have become overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, are worried that you have developed an addiction, or are managing other transitions, you may be at the precipice of profound growth. Together we can create a safe space to navigate your change efforts in a gentle and affirming way. I employ the relational-cultural model.

Sometimes we all can use a little help on life's journey--when things seem dark, when we feel like we are drowning in emotions, challenges, or thoughts, or when we just need someone to help with focus as we set a course toward achieving our goals. That is what therapy is all about! Therapy is not having someone with all the right answers tell you what to do or doing things to you; it is having a professional guide to draw out your goals and strengths, to breathe hope into difficult times, and to assist with perspective and skills. As Rumi said, "The wound is where the light enters you." Come, find hope, and refuel for your journey.

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Compassion, warmth, and objectivity are what I offer to everyone that walks into my practice, physically or virtually. Clients are accepted for who they are while receiving encouragement to become self-aware, grow and thrive within their communities. My goal is to create a safe space for reviving the soul (mind, will, and emotions); rebuilding weakened and destroyed personal, family and social foundations; (revealing) putting into proper perspective life's challenges and using them effectively to advance, bringing about restoration of the total being.

Life happens to the best of us. We can find ourselves living in the shadows of our own lives for years while health, relationships and overall satisfaction with life continue to suffer. Do you envision a more fulfilling life? Do you keep thinking "if only ..." but you just feel stuck? What is holding you back? Whether you need to get past a rough patch or develop a long-term success plan, therapy is a tool to help you explore core beliefs and build strategies for healing, coping and acceptance. Let’s schedule a time to talk and you can tell me what you’re looking for to decide if I am a good fit for your journey!
