Congratulations on taking the first step in starting therapy. For over 20 years, I've enjoyed collaborating with adults, teens and their families to resolve conflicts, and foster more meaningful relationships. Anxiety and depression can cloud our ability to see ourselves and others in a positive light. Together we can challenge negative thinking that blocks goal attainment, regulate overwhelming emotions, and calm the body. In a safe environment we can explore new ways of thinking and being. I look forward to joining you on your journey

My ideal client is someone who is willing to come to therapy to work on the challenges that they may be facing currently.

Working through past experiences to open the door to new behaviors and new experiences is often time a good goal to achieve.

What is your life trying to tell you? Whether you're struggling with a life transition, failed relationship, grief and loss, anxiety or depression, it's an opportunity for growth. Although growth can be difficult, it can also be extremely rewarding. I primarily work with individual adults dealing with relationship issues, life transitions, grief & loss, aging parents, personal & professional development, anxiety and depression. Working collaboratively with clients is important to me and for those looking to go deeper outside of session, I provide homework and reading resources.

I'm a Kink Aware Professional and believe that relationships and sex are building blocks to our lives no matter in what form they come. I have experience working with a variety of sexual and relational issues and have worked with people from varying backgrounds, from BDSM to open marriage.

To learn and grow, children require a tapestry of love, safety, and challenge. When the challenges youth face exceed the amount of resources available, therapy can be helpful. Private, goal oriented, engaging and fun activities can motivate youth to participate in a process they might otherwise avoid. In my practice, I help children address anger, depression, trauma, school related difficulties, divorce, and adjustment issues. With over 20 years of clinical expertise, I understand that children's therapy is most effective when the process is safe and interesting. In my practice I help youth and families embrace needed change by using their strengths to solve problems.

We live in an extraordinary stressful time. Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or lonely? Maybe you face issues of love and relationship, career and money, health and happiness, or bereavement and loss. Perhaps you are simply sick of repeating the same self-defeating patterns. Whatever the case, we can figure it out together. I will guide you in the journey of self-inquiry that will lead to creating something beautiful and extraordinary in your life no matter the circumstance. Life will take on new meaning and purpose as you begin to explore and discover and love who you are.

Therapy provides the unique opportunity for you to adventure into and openly investigate your internal world. Emotional transformations can be akin to wading into the ocean or navigating a new trail in the forest. While these pursuits are exciting, they can also be intimidating, challenging, or frustrating at times. I view my role as your co-pilot; helping you to navigate what it is that brings you to therapy with the goal of unleashing your innate strengths and ability to overcome. I do so with a genuine curiosity and openness, integrating my training in mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

You may feel stuck and ready for a change. You may have used your intelligence, motivation or creativity to succeed in the past, but something isn't working as well right now. You may feel disconnected in your relationships and overwhelmed by your emotions. Maybe you're very hard on yourself or have difficulty making decisions. I can help you learn to trust yourself, increase self-compassion, and improve your relationships. Therapy is a process of getting to know yourself and your strengths. Together, we can help you get clear on what you really want and develop steps to meet your goals.

I work with people, not labels. It’s about you, not a diagnosis. And it’s about me, not a degree. It becomes about us working together for your goals, whatever those are-I can help. We’re so surprised when we feel something but it “doesn’t make sense”. We “should” ourselves & judge. We waste a helluva lot of time doing this. How often have you tried to think yourself out of a feeling? I know!! Me too. Doesn't work. Together we can figure out how & why you think & feel the way you do. You can't think your way out of depression, anxiety, trauma or anything else. You can talk & feel yourself out, though. Here is what I believe.

I can help you get happy and become extraordinary. Most of my clients have what I describe as a "fulfillment deficit". They are often seen as people who have it all, but they just don't feel happy. My clients are unique individuals with unique needs. They are HNW/UHNW, professionals, entertainers, actors, therapists, professional athletes, politicians, power couples, and others who require an extra level of privacy, confidentiality, and discretion. They find themselves surrounded by "yes people", so the directness and honesty of our work together is a refreshing change.

Life is sometimes hard. Whether by circumstance, loss, relationships or simply having your fill of the same dissatisfying patterns, I provide safe haven and professional expertise to ease the burden and enlighten your path. Live your best life.

Athletic culture often praises the ability to do it all, however, we all experience issues that cannot be masked or pushed aside. I provide athletes a place of understanding support to work through issues such as eating concerns, body image, anxiety, depression, injury, post-sports career, relationships, substance use, or traumatic events. Athletes devote tremendous time and energy to physical training, and I believe intentionality with mental health is just as important for improving quality of life, and for improved sports performance.

My approach is centered around helping you create wholeness within yourself. Once your goals for therapy are established, we will focus on achieving what you envision. We will identify and help you break through old patterns that hold you back in life. As you extricate yourself from past acculturation, you will get in touch with your beautiful core Self. At the end of therapy with me, you will feel a sense of restoration and experience freedom from your emotional baggage.
