"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." ~Haruki Murakami.. Interpretations of events throughout our lives plays a fundamental role in our level of satisfaction in life. Understanding perspective, which shapes our view of the world, is essential in the change process. Because of this understanding I use an eclectic approach to counseling with an emphasis on Cognitive Restructuring to help my clients navigate through life's ups and downs. Working in several different areas of mental health including community mental health, substance abuse, and home- based family counseling has given me the opportunity to work with individuals and families from diverse populations and socioeconomic statuses.

Seeking counseling can be difficult to do and lends itself to being vulnerable in front of someone you do not know. An initial goal of mine is building comfort between myself and the client so that they can speak about the things that they struggle with. Only when the client can feel this level of comfort and safety can the best work be done. I work to get each client from where they are when meeting for the first time, to where they ultimately want to be.

I view counseling as a partnership between an individual or family and their therapist. When the theraputic relationship is strong I believe much can be accomplished. I work with individuals, adolescents and families as a partner in the process of wholeness. I believe that counseling can assist in the development of an understanding of yourself, your family and enhancing important relationships in your life.

We are a group practice with 45 master level clinicians. We work with a diverse population of people. Whether you are struggling with minor struggles in your life or are in need of help facing a troubling past we can help. We meet people where they are and help them to achieve goals and improve their lives. We honor the unique strengths and challenges of our clients, while working to enhance life skills, coping strategies, and interpersonal relationships.

Change, although inevitable, can be difficult and feel ruthless especially when life takes a turn you don't expect. We can start feeling lost, alone and out of touch with ourselves and those around us. Each of us are vulnerable to the pain, grief and the uncertainty of the human condition. In this way, I believe we can each benefit from a safe and non-judgmental space that allows us to put our guard down and encourages us to learn, be flexible and rest more fully into the natural process of simply being ourselves and listening to our own wounds.

I specialize in women's sexual health, relationship issues, anxiety, job related stress, life transitions, and the impacts of trauma, injury, and illness. I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership and my goal is to create a supportive environment of trust and acceptance. I practice an insight-oriented and psychodynamic approach, meaning that the past informs the present and can create unconscious patterns of thought and behavior. Once we have awareness of how our experiences impact our lives, healing can begin.

Times of chaos, confusion, and challenge are opportunities for a shift in perspective and meaningful, long-lasting change. We don't often have a choice about challenging circumstances but we do get to choose how we respond and whether or not we grow stronger from the experience! Using a blend of traditional "talk therapy" and alternative therapies (such as mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative expression) we collaborate for my clients' restoration of their natural wellness in mind, body, and spirit. I can help you become your best self!

I provide empirically-supported psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My work is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness and self-compassion. My areas of specialization include anxiety disorders, with particular emphasis on OCD, and parenting management, particularly for children with anxiety and behavioral dysregulation.

If you have been struggling with depression and have not found a satisfactory solution through the use of medication or standard therapies, I am interested in getting to know you. Analytical Psychology is a school of psychology founded by C. G. Jung in Zurich, Switzerland and brought to the United States by M. Esther Harding, M.D., among others, in the 1930s. It provides a unique perspective on depression and frames an alternative approach to its treatment.

I believe that each client is unique and therefore so must be their treatment. I am dedicated to assisting clients in feeling rooted, secure, and fulfilled in their lives. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in community mental health and private practice settings. In these settings, I have guided clients in managing and alleviating symptoms of behavioral and mental health concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, stress, self-injurious behaviors, and interpersonal conflict.
