According to my mother, my first word was "why." Why is the sky blue? Why can't I have a cookie for breakfast? Why are people hurting? This curiosity is integral to my work as a therapist, as I strive to understand my client's worldview and the problems they are facing. Whether you are reliving past trauma, plagued by worrisome thoughts, concerned about your relationship or substance use, or feeling generally dissatisfied in life, I will provide an empathic ear, support, and guidance to help you meet these challenges and make the life changes you desire.

You want to not just feel better, but to GET better...and in a way that makes sense, addresses what is important to you, and is effective and empowering. Good therapy is not a temporary Band-Aid, but will help you develop knowledge and skills that last a lifetime. Real change involves a better sense of self-worth, understanding yourself and others, more tools in managing and expressing emotions, and more effective communication skills in relationships. We will clarify your main concerns and goals, identify the barriers to change, and then use your strengths and new tools to find solutions that fit your personality and lifestyle.

Please note: I am currently not taking on new clients. Hello! I am a clinical psychologist with more than 20 years experience. As a skilled and compassionate therapist, I have worked with many people struggling with posttraumatic stress, depression, anxiety, anger and interpersonal relationship concerns. I am trained in a number of evidence-based therapy practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy (IRT) and Time Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP).

I provide trauma-informed care for parents with a history of trauma or difficult upbringings of their own. I teach self-regulation for anger and anxiety, treat underlying trauma, and support healthy parenting. I also help clients process their spirituality or religious background, work through the impacts of religion on mental health, and identify a personally meaningful spirituality. I offer affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients, particularly those from a religious background. Many of my clients are young adults (18-26) navigating major life transitions in their relationships, careers, mental health, values, and identity.

Let’s talk about what matters to you. Change happens and we ask ourselves “ Who am I Now?” “What is Meaningful to Me?” “What causes me pain and sadness?” “What makes me Laugh?” “Is loneliness a recurring theme?” “Why am I so angry?” Difficulties connecting with people and lack of assertiveness can cause resentment, anger, loneliness, and loss of meaning. We grow in our relationships with ourselves and each other. Healthy relationships make us feel alive. The ability to positively assert ourselves creates increased self esteem and authentic relationships.

Initiating therapy can often feel scary, which is why my priority is to create a secure, warm, and welcoming space for you, ensuring your greatest comfort. My therapeutic approach is infused with understanding, empathy, and authenticity. I strive to establish a unique rapport with all my clients, fostering an environment for you to learn, evolve, and actualize the life you desire. It's an honor to observe both the healing and growth that occurs during the process of therapy. I believe magical things can happen when there is a strong therapeutic relationship that is built off trust and a genuine connection.

I view counseling as walking down the hallway of life and trying to close the doors to one's past. As one walks down the hallway, one must walk into each room and decide what to hold on to and what to let go of. I understands that seeking therapy can be really difficult and enjoys using humor when appropriate. I am compassionate therapist at times but can be blunt. I do not want to waste your time or money therefore I will work hard with you to come up with a treatment plan that works best. My background includes working on a National Burn unit, ICU, ER, Psychiatric hospital, and managing a residential group home.

Would you describe yourself as a worrier or an over thinker? Someone who has a “complicated” family or childhood? Would people describe you as an overachiever? Or, maybe you ended up on neurodivergent tick tock and you aren’t sure how? Then we might be a good fit! I specialize working with folx who have anxiety/depression, perfectionism, adults who experienced childhood trauma, and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Are you grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or strained relationships? Despite your best efforts, do you feel trapped in recurring patterns? I provide compassionate support and insightful guidance. Let's collaborate on a holistic, evidence-based approach to facilitate lasting change. Whether navigating personal obstacles or relational complexities, prioritizing your mental health and well-being is essential.

Therapy for the misunderstood, neurodivergent, neuro-spicy, ADHD adult humans out there: It’s an everyday occurrence involving being zoned out, scattered, overwhelmed, and all over the place. You feel like you’re regularly failing at “normal”, don’t feel good enough, and are convinced you suck at adulting. As you're racing around trying to find your keys and getting ready for the day, you give the dog your cereal and pour her cup of food in your bowl instead. Ugh. And on a more serious note - this shit is seriously impacting your work, your relationships and your quality of life.

Do you want to feel happier, have more confidence, and stop worrying so much? Therapy can help! In individual therapy I will work with you in a collaborative and supportive way to help you build on personal strengths and live the life you want to live!

I have been a therapist for 23 years, so I have had thousands of conversations with clients and extensive advanced training. I know change can be challenging so I try to make the process as efficient and painless as possible. I am motivated to help you meet YOUR goals. I always offer you the insights gained from my years of experience as well as my knowledge about what helps us lead a good life. I am practical and down-to-earth in my approach. Relationship skills can be learned, and you can feel better about yourself + your partner when you are relating with love, consideration, kindness, and passion.

With 25 years in clinical practice, I am a firm believer in the effectiveness of psychotherapy to improve self confidence and self esteem, to develop more fulfilling relationships and to set one's life course in a positive direction for the future. I try to not only help my clients find relief from bothersome symptoms but also to help get to the root of the problem that has brought them into therapy. In this way the therapy has a deeper and longer-lasting effect as clients learn how to free themselves from problematic patterns from the past and live more fully in the present.

Whether trauma and co-occuring concerns has affected you or someone you love, the process of healing can feel overwhelming and even frightening. Regardless of what happened and where you find yourself now, I believe everyone is capable of growth. A safe, supportive, and authentic space is essential for clients to move past those negative thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, destructive behaviors, shame, and sadness. I've found that warm support, while also challenging people to look within, leads to healing and connection with the best version of themselves.

My specialty is with Individuals and Couples working through their relational and intimacy issues. I am passionate about helping couples and individuals find or re-discover their fire in their relationship. Do you have trouble in relationships? Do you have conflict in your marriage? Does one partner have a different libido or desire than another? Do you want to open up your relationship and explore different polyamorous lifestyle options? Do you or your partner have different fantasies or desires you would like to explore? Is there shame or pain related to sex? These are all areas where I specialize in treatment.

My passion in psychotherapy is working with adults who struggle with behavioral and mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety ADHD and a variety of personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictions. My therapeutic approach is drawn from mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and a humanistic approach. I also offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Ritual/Response Prevention (EXRP) as well as EMDR and Prolong Exposure (PE) sessions for trauma treatment. I am a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology.
