In my many years of experience, I have been fortunate to witness the curative benefits of the therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals, couples, and families, from young children to adults, who are suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, loss, and trauma continue to The children and adolescents I have had in my practice have struggled with issues of divorce, adoption, peer pressures, anxiety, depression, sibling rivalry, and social difficulties. Utilizing a somatic understanding and integrating EMDR, has deepened the work with many clients, especially those who have experienced trauma.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to experience an awareness of yourself and the obstacles that hinder your emotional growth and connection to others. In this courageous journey, the match between you and your therapist is essential. I view our work as an important collaborative journey and welcome all of your experiences. We will work together to identify your goals as well engage in a meaningful way in your life. My role is to provide a genuine and safe environment to make life-affirming changes.

The people with whom I work well are those who have a curiosity about themselves, and a willingness to be open to change. Feeling stuck or trapped in patterns in life is a common complaint. I frequently ask questions that allow people to reconsider what they assumed are life's "givens" and what is inhibiting them from achieving their potential. Together we will work towards unlocking your core energy. My therapeutic style is filled with respect, honesty, warmth, and humor.

Welcome to my therapy practice. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with individual adults, adolescents, couples, and families dealing with a variety of challenges. Over the years, I have primarily helped clients with their depression, anxiety or major life transitions. Sometimes it is just that you have a general sense that something is wrong, or out of balance, and you need a place to talk or you are concerned for a loved one. I am here to listen and provide you with insight so that over time, you will feel clearer with yourself.

You are already taking the first step on a transformative journey by advocating for yourself and looking into therapy! Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, PTSD, or want to gain a better insight to your patterns and emotions, therapy can bring you closer to coming home to your authentic self and living the life you want. There is a proverb that states if you want to go fast go alone, but to go far, you must go together. Let’s go together to find the right pathways out of the woods as we untangle your mental knots, let go of what is no longer serving you, and help you write your own narrative.

I believe that early life experiences have a lingering impact and I help patients understand current patterns in the context of their past, thus allowing for greater fluidity, flexibility, and satisfaction. My approach is primarily relational, somatic and psychoanalytic, though I pull from other frameworks as well. I offer dreamwork for those interested.

Do you find yourself feeling lonely, sad, scared, depressed, empty, or anxious? And maybe hopeless, alone, and confused about how to feel better? Whatever you're experiencing, you do not have to face it alone. With the support of a therapist & the trusting, safe space that can be developed you can work through whatever you are experiencing & find light ---- whether that be decreased suffering, inner peace, increased intimacy in your relationships, or more aliveness and authenticity in your connection with yourself and others.

My work is focused on initiating healing from the moment you walk through my door. And I recognize it takes a lot of courage to be in the room, with me as your therapist, while beginning this journey of deeper understanding of self and change. Together we will look inward at the fragmented pieces of your life, which can often be intimidating, but you won't be made to feel alone in this process. I will help you put the pieces of your life together so you can develop a stronger sense of self.
