As a clinician, I take great pride in treating my clients not as just a collection of diagnoses and symptoms but rather as a real person to be listened to and related to on a human to human level. I do my best to keep the administrative tasks at a minimum so we can focus on what’s most important; your healing and growth. In our work, you'll get a straightforward, no nonsense approach that keeps you, the person, at center stage.

I have worked with a diverse array of clients, including teens, young adults, couples, children, and a wide array of professionals including doctors, therapists, musicians, athletes and CEO’s from a variety of industries. I have experience with people of various ages, cultures, religious backgrounds, diagnoses, sexualities and gender identities. I have more than 25 years working in nonprofit agencies, inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, camps, rehabilitation programs and residential children's homes. I believe the most effective approach will incorporate your personal experiences and the lens you view the world through.

I assist individuals and couples who are experiencing relationship and parenting challenges as well as those who are struggling with addiction recovery or abuse issues. I help people to identify practical and realistic solutions to overcome their challenges and struggles and to achieve greater life satisfaction. I use a combination of traditional and complementary approaches and include each person's unique strengths in order to achieve the most timely solution possible. I have found that my approach to working with people has been particularly helpful to those who are willing to participate within a complementary, wholistic and individually focused perspective.

I am dedicated to helping clients improve their lives and achieve self-transformation. This includes learning to cope, manage, overcome and transcend mental health issues. Building mindfulness and emotional awareness is key to understanding how our belief systems and emotions drive our decisions/behaviors. Our sessions will be fully engaged in building healthier thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, values, perceptions, assumptions so that we can reshape our life narrative and see reality differently. Each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, finding peace and balance, while being centered and present.

Initiating therapy can be difficult. Even the first phone call can be very anxiety provoking. My goal is to help you discover changes that can lead to a better understanding of your life. Psychotherapy is a process that involves finding the real truth within one's self. With a compassionate approach we will be able to help understand the conscious and unconscious factors that are keeping you from enjoying healthy relationships, love, work, family and other life related experiences. I believe in being empathetic as well as mindful of clients during sessions so that you are able to achieve the goals that you want.

I imagine you're searching for a therapist because mental health or relationship challenges are really starting to affect your life.

Seems there's always another way to tone and nourish our bodies. Yet our minds - well, they don't often get the same dedicated attention. Our thoughts swirl. Our emotions wind into mash-ups of who-knows-what. And for anyone's been stuck in a cave, today's world offers an endless stream of fuel for anxiety and panic du jour. It's hard to keep up. So how do we sooth the angst, reset the stress level, and tone our minds so that even amid an unpredictable, stress-inducing world, we are steadier, calmer, more centered, and more resilient? And yes actually, we can be and feel ok even when it feels like everything around us is a bit crazy.

I work well with individuals who are seeking change. Post-traumatic stress and anxiety can be debilitating. I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals who desire post-traumatic growth.

The basis for my practice is Existential Therapy, where I help clients truly grasp their relationships with themselves and the world around them. I bring in other therapeutic techniques and styles to individualize treatment to what each client needs and wants out of therapy.
