Sometimes no matter how much we try to prepare for life, things just happen and we find ourselves feeling out of control, stressed and seeking guidance. Sometimes we're too hard on ourselves, our own biggest critics and it feels like you just can't catch a break! The truth is, that we never know what to truly expect in life, but what we can learn is to better understand ourselves so that we are emotionally equipped to handle life's stressors, whatever they may be. Together, we'll talk about what's going on and brainstorm ways to get your life back to where you want it to be. I'm on your team, ready to help you find your way!

I believe that deep down we all make sense, and that while life can feel overwhelming and our problems too great to solve, real change is possible. My therapeutic process integrates strength-based modalities that are tailored to the unique needs of each client and centers on identifying our untapped sources of strength and resilience to break through doubt, shame and fear. With care and curiosity, we will begin the process of exploring and healing the often hidden wounds inflicted by our experiences, families and society. Working together, we can change old patterns of feeling and thinking in order to empower your authentic self.

Your voice is valid and you deserve to be heard. Life unfolds whether we feel in control or not. It is helpful to have a place to explore, discover, vent, and release the anchors that might be weighing us down and making life just a bit too difficult. Therapy is a way to soften the "should's", identify strengths, and face our shadows.

Are you looking for a safe, nurturing, supportive environment where you can work on reaching a higher level of personal satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness?

I believe it is important to remember that everyone's challenges and concerns are unique to them. I take a humanistic approach to psychotherapy. I am flexible in utilizing a variety of theoretical orientations depending upon the client, their personal issues, and communication style.

As a mom, the past couple of years have been tough, and caring for little ones can be challenging in so many ways. We, moms, tend to put our mental health on the back burner of our life. We tend to prioritize others before ourselves, putting our own wellness at the bottom of the priority list. The fact is that putting ourselves first and addressing our worries may be uncomfortable and challenging. You are not alone, and the goal is to help you regain your voice and live a life that represents your best self.

For over fourteen years, I've provided holistic individual and couples therapy that focuses on the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Everybody gets depressed or anxious and overwhelmed at times. Relationships are challenging and our lives can get complicated. We often feel stuck in past pain and are unable to enjoy the present. Those feelings are universal, they are part of being human. It is important to see them not as limitations, but as a stimulus to change and personal growth. There is a way to feel better no matter what your situation is.

No one is meant to walk this journey of life alone and unsupported. Seeking help is a strength and the first step toward creating a life that will provide you with meaning and purpose.

Are you locked in patterns of drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, insomnia, infidelity, mood or thought disorders? As an empathic therapist, I utilize EMDR within a family systems approach. My life's work is helping people uncover and target problematic patterns. Once patterns are uncovered, we take simple steps toward change. If you struggle with ADHD, Asperger's or learning differences, I would like to help you construct the right niche, where you can be successful and happy, feeling supported and understood. Changes made in therapy are rewarding. I want to be part of your change process.

As life moves in ever changing paces and phases, we need relationships that hold our foundations steady. In my experience, transitions and major-life events leave people at a crossroad of navigating their past with their present and future. As a brain-wise therapist, I utilize my experience and compassion to help children, individuals and families to navigate the seasons of life on their terms with the goal of finding mental wellbeing.

I've applied the training and education I received in psychology to my personal life. The impact it's had on me personally is what drives me and motivates me to share my knowledge with others. In my career, I've had the opportunity to work with a lot of amazing people and been witness to the positive changes they seek. I also coach, mentor, and supervise other therapists and interns, which is my way of giving back to a profession that has given so much to me.
