If you are seeking change in your life, whether to improve your relationships, overcome challenges you are facing, dealing with depression, anxiety, overwhelm or struggling in your marriage or as a parent, I can support you in that process. If you are struggling as a parent, I provide parent coaching services. If you have specific goals and changes in your life or relationships I also provide life coaching. I work in a collaborative manner and strive to provide a safe and respectful environment so you are able to explore those things in your life which you desire support, change and/or healing.

I believe that you are the expert of your own life & my role as your therapist is to be a fellow companion on your journey towards emotional growth. Your desired outcomes will be achieved by creating long term solutions that uniquely fit your needs within the safety and trust of our therapeutic relationship. By creating a safe and trusting environment, I welcome the opportunity to support your treatment needs.

I believe therapy is a unique gift you can give yourself, yet finding a therapist that will make you feel like they 'get you', can be daunting and paralyzing. The first step of making a phone call and appointment might fill you with dread, fear, shame or hopelessness. For you to feel safe enough to share your struggles with me, I will have to earn your trust. As we begin our work, I will make every effort to meet you with genuine warmth, openness and patience.

I am available to work with clients who are experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, relationship discord, effects of chronic medical conditions and chronic stress, fertility/adoption issues and career/life direction questions. I take a practical, skills-based approach, collaborating with clients to incorporate information from past and present toward more effective functioning. My outlook is holistic, attending to the physical and spiritual/meaning realms as well as the cognitive, emotional and behavioral ones. I have a warm and friendly manner and I enjoy working with people as they identify and achieve their goals.

I strive to make counseling a safe place in which we will work as a team to create the change that will help you through your struggles.

It takes courage to seek support. Are you an overwhelmed parent? I can help you utilize effective strategies that work for your family.

As a psychologist I offer thoughtful therapeutic services to adults, children, adolescents, and families who feel very unhappy or stuck in painful patterns that they cannot explain. Over the years, I have provided consultation, testing, and psychotherapy to children, adults, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, learning difficulties, behavior problems, relationship issues, unresolved grief, addiction, and a variety of other concerns. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and aimed at fostering resiliency, empathy, and self-awareness.

*Accepting new clients* My clients are typically either individuals or couples. The individuals that I work well with are typically experiencing depression or anxiety, or having trouble adjusting to life changes. I love working with those that want a challenge or help achieving specific goals. I also work largely with couples at every stage of their relationship. Navigating a relationship without effective communication is usually what brings couples to me. I then help them develop stronger friendship and intimacy and manage conflict more effectively. Let's schedule an initial consultation to see if my style is a good fit for you!

I love working with others who feel misunderstood or as if they have always been an outsider in their own lives. I enjoy assisting couples with identifying the strengths in their unique differences and how the opposite attractions they have to each other is what makes the dynamic passion they have between them, even if it’s passionate fighting in the current cycle. I desire to provide adolescents the opportunity to be heard and seen by their parents as the strong, intelligent, wise beyond their years individuals they truly are, while also allowing them to have the safety net their parents choose to provide so they can succeed.

You might feel stuck in your life or in unmanageable feelings or in a relationship or in your healing process. I want to help you find a safe place to get clarity, to explore your feelings and concerns, to receive honest constructive feedback and support. I will invite you to be an active participant in your own growth and change. This might include sharing your story, exploring feelings and sometimes doing projects outside of sessions such as reading, journaling, information gathering or making changes. I want to help you to trust your effectiveness in relationships and to feel more alive and to live out of your whole self.

It is my priority to offer a warm and welcoming space for each and every client to feel validated, challenged and empowered throughout their counseling experience. My approach to therapy is from an integrative and holistic perspective to attend to your unique needs, as every client is different. Utilizing a person-centered and solution-focused approach, I will work with you to explore your symptoms, concerns, values, self-worth, personal strengths and areas for growth to develop a foundation of skills and an individualized plan to achieve your goals in therapy.

I am honored to advocate support and empower children and their families to over come life’s difficulties. I use a person-centered approach meeting individual where they are. I strongly emphasis on co-creating an environment where clients feel safe, while challenged to become the best versions of themselves. Many of us fall within the spectrum of dealing with challenges by confronting them head on or by simply avoiding it altogether, but I’m here to help establish a healthy balance pointing out behaviors that are in your control and understanding that it’s okay to not always be okay.

Every problem has solutions, therapy has you consider those solutions, which in turn transforms your life. I find that people labor too long over whether or not to start a cycle of therapy. I encourage you to explore your curiosity about the therapeutic process.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them resolve problems and reach their goals for personal wellbeing. You will find me to be non-judgmental, supportive, and genuine.

I also attend closely to the therapeutic relationship and to the development of insight or increased self-awareness in clients.
