I believe that there are times in our journey through life when challenges can be overwhelming. My goal as a therapist is to meet my clients wherever they are on that journey and work together with them to understand, navigate and overcome their life's challenges. I act as a thoughtful and empathetic clinician allowing clients to openly share their problems and concerns in the safety of a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

I specialize in relationship issues usually in the context of marriage and family. Clients may be experiencing issues with marital conflict, divorce, separation, blended families, parenting, infidelity, addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, past abuse or major life transitions.

Talk therapy can be a powerful and transformative experience. When I get asked, “What should I look for in a therapist?” My response includes that you want to have a sense the psychotherapist you are sitting with is striving to understand you as a dynamic & complex person, and that you are being treated as such. To this end, as a psychologist-psychotherapist, my work is tailored to the needs of each unique individual. While symptoms of states such as anxiety and depression may be of commonality to many individuals with whom I work, the meanings of these symptoms vary tremendously from person to person.

Life presents us with many challenges--perhaps you grieve a broken relationship, worry about a medical diagnosis, or doubt your abilities. I can help you sift through your experience on your way toward a more joyful, meaningful life. The burdens of stress, frustration, shame, guilt, and anger might make you feel really terrible now-- and you might feel very alone, unable to talk freely with those around you. Together we can pay close attention to what's bothering you and to what you need, so that you begin to develop a healthier self and more loving, fulfilling relationships.

I coach women (and sometimes men) to value themselves as much as they value others. My clients have had the following characteristics. See if any of these describe you. They want to be liked by everyone. They become anxious when others are angry with them. They avoid conflict at any cost. They judge themselves as never good enough. They are afraid to express differing points of view. They value the opinions others hold of them, more than they value their own self-approval.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic, integrating mind body and spirit, through a variety of modalities. My personal belief system influences my work. Specifically, I believe that as individuals, we continually bring forth new possibilities. People come to therapy with wounds. But it is in the wounds that the light shines in. In therapy, we learn we need not fear the places where one feels stuck, overwhelmed or enslaved. My diverse background has deepened my understanding for those wrestling with existential, spiritual and religious belonging, life transitions, sexual orientation, relational challenges and childhood traumas.

I specialize in working with juveniles and adults having mental health, legal, substance abuse, interpersonal, educational, medical, career, and couples or family problems. I help individuals change unhelpful thinking patterns by recognizing inflexible demands they place on themselves, the world, and others. My therapeutic style helps individuals learn how to dispute beliefs causing negative emotional and behavioral consequences. Clients learn they have the ability to change and control their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with the underlying goal of helping the client become his or her own therapist.

I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and the progress that can be made in a safe and supportive setting. My work in the school setting over the past nine years offered an invaluable experience and helped me to understand the challenges and demands our youth face today. When social, educational, and family stress seem to be increasing, therapy can offer a safe haven in which they can build on their strengths and develop new effective coping skills. Together we can work toward a more healthy and joyful self.

When life's challenges threaten to overwhelm you, I seek to help you restore balance and harmony in your life. I approach therapy with the fundamental belief that we all have a unique life path which brings us the most joy and fulfillment. Together, we will develop treatment goals that help you live in alignment with your deepest values. Along the way we will uncover what blocks you from achieving your goals and living with vitality and joy.

My style is warm and natural, focusing on a client's strengths as we explore how past hurts and conflicts prevent achieving present goals.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist committed to providing comprehensive assessment and consultation services to children, teens, and adults. My goal is to help people understand themselves and their children through evidence-based evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and help with treatment planning. In addition to offering pre-surgical evaluations, I have extensive experience working with parents and children struggling with problematic behavior, poor social skills, and accompanying stress on the family. I can help with assessments for ADHD, learning disabilities, gifted placement, depression, anxiety, and Bipolar disorder.

My focus is to empower families by improving their relationships and communication so family members are more of a support than a burden to each other. Family issues that I commonly treat are couple's communication, sexual issues in a relationship, mixed-agenda couples (where one is considering a divorce), co-parenting after a divorce, behavior issues with children, as well as abuse or neglect in families. I also help families where a member struggles with self-injury, depression, or anxiety.

I am a licensed mental health therapist and National Certified Counselor specialized in working with children, adolescents and adults in the treatment of anxiety and depression, trauma and grief, stress management and self-esteem struggles. I use a collaborative approach with clients to empower healing, wellness, and goal development and achievement. I strive to incorporate warmth, genuineness, and humor to create a strong therapeutic relationship in a safe environment.

Daily life is challenging and may leave you feeling out of balance. Are you physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy? Is your relationship with your community healthy? If not, what experiences have broken your connection with these aspects of your life? What is keeping you from living a healthy, joyful life. I will help you reconnect with your inner strengths, core values, and resiliency so you can grow beyond past limitations and live the life you want. Whether you're looking for guidance through a difficult situation or looking to move in a new life direction, I can help you achieve your goals.

I welcome individuals struggling with a wide range of issues interfering with the ability to function and to feel one's best. My office is your personal space to process thoughts and concerns in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My clients are individuals struggling with depression and anxiety that may stem from relationship issues, job stress, trauma, a sense of meaninglessness, and loss. Some clients present with a general feeling that something they cannot pinpoint needs to be explored. 40% of my clients are women and 60% are men.

I offer a relaxed and peaceful environment. I know it is not uncommon to feel stuck, unsure and wonder how to proceed in life. Yet, I believe we all hold the ability to explore these obstacles and experience life in new ways.

I help clients help themselves using a client-centered and strengths based approach. I provide a supportive, caring, and empathic environment. The therapeutic relationship that develops becomes an important instrument of change. In this setting, I target a client's identified area of distress. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, working with individuals, couples, and families in a private, confidential setting. I believe in providing unconditional positive regard for clients in order to facilitate an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance. My experience covers all stress-related issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues, and conflict resolution.

Clients who find me a good fit are those who are motivated to explore their past and present in order to make choices leading to their best selves. I work collaboratively in goal setting and find that individuals are often the best experts on themselves. Our working together toward common goals using your expertise as well as my clinical experience can be highly effective and a positive experience for those who choose to work with me in therapy.
