If you're feeling weighed down by responsibility, self-doubt, or the pressure to always “have it together,” I’m here to help. Managing your emotions and difficult life challenges does not have to be something you do on your own. I work with people who want to feel more confident in their everyday choices. By identifying personal barriers and understanding your story, together we can unpack and release the things that no longer serve you.

It's great you've taken this step. My practice recognizes the normal challenges we face as circumstances change throughout our lifespans. Childhood through Adolescence; School Issues; Marriage, Family and Aging.
Adjusting well to these transitions is the key to preventing the "need" for treatment after problems worsen.
Learning to manage the complexities of life is facilitated with a therapeutic relationship which is trustworthy and productive. Let's do it together!

Each and every person is born with unique strengths and vast potential to achieve. Oftentimes, though, life's challenges get in the way. It may be external stressors, traumatic experiences or our own dysfunctional thoughts and patterns of behavior that make it difficult to live a satisfying and fulfilling life.
Entering into a therapeutic relationship of acceptance and trust can serve as a turning point for achieving growth and change.

I work with adults who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. Many come in struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, or challenges in their relationships. Together, we build a strong therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively to understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion. With over 25 years of experience, I help clients move toward more fulfilling and meaningful lives. I also offer therapy in Spanish.

I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that keep showing up. Some people come to therapy to make sense of a relationship, recover from a breakup, or understand a pattern they keep finding themselves in. Others come as a couple, wanting to reconnect, communicate better, or break out of a painful cycle that keeps repeating.

I believe that therapy is a slow and steady process that a therapist helps their clients progress through. With this belief, my goal is to meet clients where they are at while also getting to know what makes them who they are. Whether it is anxiety, interpersonal relationship issues, or processing past traumas, I aim to create a warm and comfortable space for clients to express themselves and their worries authentically.

A belief I hold closely is that you can’t know yourself by yourself. It is a sincere privilege to be “the other person” as clients discover and uncover new, hidden or forgotten facets of themselves. I’ve done that in corporate, nonprofit and entrepreneurial settings, but there is nothing that lights me up more than to partner with others in the context of therapy.
I particularly love working with clients who have never been to therapy and clients who are skeptical about the process. It’s good to ask questions and be honest about your point of view. And it’s essential that you have - or be willing to have - an open mind.

You're ready to stop circling the same patterns and get honest about the stories you've been living in — the ones shaping how you love, connect, and show up for the people who matter most. Whether you're navigating challenges with a partner, struggling to feel truly seen, or working on your most foundational relationship — the one with yourself — you want more than a place to vent. You're looking for real insight, real change, and someone who won't let you stay comfortable in what isn't working. You're capable of more than you think, and you already know it.

My primary interests have been working with children and adolescents and their families. My work with families has led me to train more intensively in family systems work as well as couples. I have gained a unique understanding of the problems affecting these populations and how to best help. It is through these models that I attempt to help children and their families work within their systems and environments to help effect change within them and influence their own environments.

I work with adults, adolescents, children, and families. With adults and adolescents I treat issues like depression, anxiety, personality disorder, and lifespan changes. With children I treat issues related to ADHD, dysregulated mood, and autism spectrum. For families I provide psychoeducation on the conflicts and communication issues beneath presenting concerns.

As a therapist, I believe in meeting clients where they are - with compassion, authenticity and without judgment. I work with clients ranging in age from adolescents to elder adults navigating a range of challenges including mood disorders, anxiety, psychotic disorders, trauma and substance use recovery. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel truly seen and heard. I use a strengths-based, integrative approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Space in which someone begins to let go of the person they think they should be in order to become who they truly are is sacred space. It can also be a very hard space, and one that can be difficult to navigate alone. This is where I come in. I believe you are the expert when it comes to your life, and that you have everything you need to live your best life. What is perceived as brokenness is often just disconnection with ourselves and with others. My expertise is deep listening coupled with insight that helps you first to connect with your genuine self, and then to make authentic, lasting, and meaningful connections with others.

My approach is collaborative and hands-on: I’ll offer practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, while also helping you shift the deeper patterns that hold you back.

I believe that each person I work with knows themselves best, and can ultimately identify their own feelings, problems, and methods for managing them. I also know that everyone needs help from time to time in understanding their obstacles, the origins of them, and the path forward. I am honored to help my patients through their unique challenges. I work with adults, young adults, adolescents, couples and families and have been in the field since 1999.

To understand each client, I begin by seeking out the strengths, abilities, and positive qualities that are present. Very often new clients are so used to thinking or hearing about their problems that they themselves seem to forget their own positive traits and attributes. Giving time and space for these elements to surface is helpful in many ways, including becoming a touchpoint of their own resources. I really enjoy helping foster resiliency among my clients, helping them recognize their capacities to cope, heal, and move beyond feeling stuck or powerless.

Therapy probably wasn’t part of the original plan. Maybe your partner suggested it, or maybe you’re starting to realize something in the relationship needs to change. Why talk about feelings when it seems easier to move on and deal with problems as they come? But now the relationship is struggling, and your partner says you aren’t in touch with your feelings or don’t understand hers. Is she right? Maybe, maybe not. But something has to change if you want the relationship to work. In my years working with individuals and couples, I’ve seen this dynamic more times than I can count.
