You're here because you're hurting. Maybe it's from a past abusive relationship -- romantic or otherwise. Perhaps you had a neglectful, dismissive, or intrusive parents. Maybe you experienced sexual abuse. Whatever the reason, you find yourself anxious, numb, or just plain overwhelmed by your feelings. Sometimes you find it hard to enjoy life, the past keeps coming up. You find yourself wishing you didn't feel the things you do. You're afraid that there's something wrong with you because you can't get over it. I'm here to tell you that there's hope. Therapy can help with these issues and you don't have to do it alone.

I have a deep understanding of the complexities people face in their lives and the importance of integrating various aspects of health & well-being in therapy. My focus is an integrative approach, particularly in addressing ADHD & mood disorders. These conditions can significantly impact individuals' lives, and providing specialized support can make a profound difference. I incorporate approaches that address both the psychological & physiological aspects of these conditions. From CBT to mindfulness practices, finding a personalized blend of strategies can empower individuals to better manage symptoms and navigate challenges.

Simply put, my practice centers on helping individuals, couples, and families solve problems. My approach in therapy is to ally with motivations for change. I find that symptoms such as depression, anxiety, conflict in relationships, and other problems often relate to significant life transitions and events. Clients utilize therapy to further self-awarenes and my role is largely to assist in their process. This, at times, involves the acceptance of difficult and painful emotions about past experiences; however, the emphasis of any process is relief and freedom from patterns which have often become more painful than the emotions underlying them.

I believe in humanistic philosophy. People have room to grow in order to fulfill their life yearnings. However, many life experiences possibly block that potential and these blocks show as depression, anxiety, and many other symptoms. I want to be with people to assist in the enrichment of their lives. Individuals need to be healthy in various levels to share their lives in a family and a community. We can explore together to find what is interfering in life and enrich them to reach true potentials.

Do you keep recycling the same issues in relationships? Can't seem to move forward or achieve your heart's desire in life/career? Do you long for deeper connection with others but feel blocked by heart wounds and limiting beliefs? Building a relationship with someone who truly cares and believes in your healing is an important first step. Armed with a gentle presence and a ready laugh, I strive to create an environment where clients can get excited about the process and the change it creates!

I provide a compassionate ear to individuals and couples who feel stuck, and are struggling to find their path forward. Often, my clients have experienced issues related to addiction, intimacy, life transitions, identity and more. By utilizing techniques and concepts from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Therapy, I strive to create a space where you can grow in self-compassion, self-understanding, and familiarity with your emotions. My counseling style mixes empathetic support with thought-provoking questions, in order to not only join with you in your experiences, but help you reach your goals too.

Hello, and welcome! I am delighted to share a glimpse into my work to support individuals and couples in their pursuit of healthy, fulfilling relationships. I am a dedicated therapist with a passion for utilizing evidence-based methods such as PACT, Collaborative Therapy, and Attachment Theory to promote lasting change and growth. Our work will address the unique challenges and dynamics that arise within your relationships. I also specialize in working with individuals and couples who are impacted by ADHD. As a therapist with ADHD, I understand the intricate ways in which it can impact relationships, communication, and daily life.

Through my experience and training I have developed effective and eclectic skills which will give you insight into what is behind your feelings and behaviors. Through this insight-oriented process, together we can identify and nurture the kind of personal change that will make your therapy successful. This is as true for children and teenagers as it is for adults although the path with young people is less insight-oriented and more experiential. As a very qualified and experienced therapist, I have the skill set needed to achieve the changes you are looking for no matter what your age.

Hi there, I'm elated to see you move towards sound mental health and well-being. I hope to be a part of that journey, no matter how small. Therapy is a gift - both challenging and rewarding in all its fullness. In the foundation of our therapy together, I help you in becoming present, self-aware, and a better communicator. We will look at your needs, stressors, important areas of life, and treatment goals in order to better open up the truth of who you are. In essence, my therapy work will ask of you: who are you right now, and how are you relating to what you are keeping in your life?

I assist people in addressing their relationships, creating stability, building purpose, healing relationship pain, breaking negative cycles, and starting new. My passion lies in helping couples connect on a deeper level and achieve long-lasting change in their relationships. As a relational therapist, I understand that every relationship is unique and requires a personalized approach. To that end, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Satir, Experiential, Relational Life Therapy, Internal Family Systems, SFT, and Gottman. I help people identify and address their core issues while building strong foundations.

As a play therapist, not only am I passionate about working with children and teens, but also adults who would like to explore their inner child to bring creativity, joy, and playfulness back into their lives. I often use art, storytelling, metaphor, or visual aids when appropriate to facilitate growth and learning key coping skills. I have helped many clients grow and move through the lingering effects and pains of trauma or life transitions, whether recent or long buried. I can help in facilitating growth and healing after difficult and often excruciating experiences, while progressing at your pace and comfort level.

In over 20 years of practice, I have seen again and again how therapy helps people move from fear and disconnection to aliveness and self-acceptance. Therapy, to me, is not only about healing, but also about growth and finding fulfillment. It is about letting go of past ways of surviving and living more fully to one's potential. Ideally, therapy is a place where people can bring their full selves, without shame or judgment. I feel honored to accompany people as they take risks, open up, and make important life changes.

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.
