Is your child engaging in behaviors that you don't understand? Do you feel like you have tried everything and nothing seems to work? Is it impacting the whole family, your relationships or your job?

Women balance multiple roles in life. We are daughters, mothers, wives, and friends. We work at home caring for our families or we work outside the home in addition to caring for families. We have needs too and sometimes we women put self care at the bottom of the list. Therapy is about re-connecting with yourself. It is about recovery from pain in the past, navigating current issues and problems, identifying and resolving undesirable patterns, and ultimately being the healthiest version of ourselves now. I specialize in working with women and couples looking to improve their lives. Call now for a free consultation.

You always try to do the right thing, but somehow, people don't appreciate it. When you try to help, they might even blame you! You put your needs aside to take care of others, and no one is there to take care of you, but you don't say anything. Maybe you cry when no one is there. And then you put your smile back on and turn back into the person they need you to be. One day, it all gets to be too much, and you don't know what to do. So you come see me.

"It takes courage and inner strength to change from what is known and comfortable to something which is new and fresh. That which is unknown often contains our greater potential.

I will support and guide you towards your desired goal, by helping you realize your own great potential. Everything you need is Within YOU, I will help you see that.

I work with clients who are struggling with trauma or who may be facing personal or relationship problems creating friction or functional problems in their lives. I can help address the feeling that something is just not quite right in one's life, that one is not living to ones fullest potential, and identity issues. Invariably, these problems arise as a result of loss and disillusionment, whether it be through traumas including heartbreak, the loss of a loved one, or feelings of abandonment, isolation, or not being understood. I have significant experience and training in working with men and teenage boys.

If you’re a woman who’s gone through any kind of sexual assault or trauma in your life, you might feel like you’re carrying a horrible secret. Like it’s your fault. Like the shame is yours alone. The Me Too Movement might have brought up events you hadn’t thought about in years. Maybe you’re plagued by memories you’ve tried to forget. Maybe you’re realizing that what happened to you was abuse, or maybe you are just not sure. You keep shrugging it off and doing your best to move on. You don’t need to feel this way any longer. It’s not your fault, and you deserve to be heard.

Working through difficult times makes us, and our relationships, stronger. Making the decision to begin therapy isn't always easy, but sometimes it's just what you need to get your life back on track. Despite the stereotype of a therapist being someone who will, "tell you what to do," my role is to listen and help you toward hearing your own answers. It can offer you insight and perspective so you can achieve what you are striving for in your life. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way of you living a happier life.

Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror? Are you afraid of being fat or worried about your weight? Does your weight determine your mood? Do you count calories, exercise to burn calories, or purge after you eat? Do you eat when you're upset or does food give you comfort? Do you feel controlled by food? If you are feeling controlled by thoughts, fears, and worries about food, weight, and appearance, you might feel frustrated, depressed, anxious, confused, and lonely. I provide special counseling services to help you understand why you are thinking and feeling this way...

Therapy (which comes from the Greek word "to change"), is a very brave and personal endeavor that an individual and/or family undertakes to gain insight into their emotional state, decisions that have been made or to understand behavior. I have a great deal of experience working with families in crisis, children and adolescents with special education needs, adults and parents that are seeking support to parent a difficult and/or challenging child. In addition, I utilize a very supportive, nurturing yet directive approach in my therapeutic process.

Are you feeling stuck, confused, or in pain? Life can be difficult and confusing; it can be helpful to have someone to guide you in utilizing your strengths and gaining skills to navigate life more effectively. I offer clients a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to work together on getting you "unstuck." I work well with clients who have issues with anxiety or have experienced traumatic events. I have a lot of experience and passion for working with clients who identify as LGBTQ and/or are in the arts. I work primarily from an empathetic, relational approach and can incorporate EMDR and DBT into our work as well.
