I am an eclectic therapist, meaning I do not subscribe to any one therapeutic modality as I believe the therapeutic process is fluid and as a clinician, I must be the same. I help you manage depression, anxiety, ADHD, adjustment disorder, grief/loss, PTSD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, children and adolescents navigating the difficulties of adjusting to parent's divorcing and behavioral issues such as oppositional defiance and conduct issues. In an effort to meet my clients where they are, I will take the time needed to examine, with you, the core issues surrounding the problem and assist in developing solutions from that ground work.

Do you have trouble turning your goals into action? Do you find yourself thinking, “I know what I want, but I just can’t get it?” My approach to therapy is to help identify the things that are getting in your way. For some people it’s anxiety, depression, or self-esteem. For others it might be relationship issues or patterns that always seem to lead to disappointment.

I am most passionate about helping my clients develop a stronger awareness of how past events and beliefs are influencing their current behavior and decision-making. I believe that therapy is so much more than just talking about problems; it’s about examining how our beliefs and experiences have taken root in our lives and influence us.

When we’ve lost a part of ourselves, a life we had created or envisioned, our world can feel as if it’s falling apart, even ending. And in a way, it is. But maybe this is also part of our journey, the road that takes us to the heart of it. When provided with a safe environment where respect, compassion and unconditional positive regard are offered, we have a chance to set out on our path. The invitation, as always, is to start. Start anywhere, no matter how unsure and unsteady. But start somewhere. In time we grow more aware and self-assured as we make our way toward our most authentic self, our most authentic life.

Let's work together to learn who you are now so you can make thoughtful choices moving toward who you want to be. Overwhelming emotions can derail your best intentions and interfere with your goals, dreams, and connections with others. Adding to the mix are invalidating or problematic environments that make us feel devalued or ashamed. I understand firsthand the unique challenges faced by creative professionals. Asking for help is tough; building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself, others, and your nervous system can be even tougher without support.

Life can be overwhelming. If you find it difficult to cope at times or feel flooded by challenging emotions, you don’t have to be alone in your struggles. Together we can work through the struggles that are negatively impacting your life. Through the therapeutic process, difficulties that overwhelmed you in the past may begin to feel more manageable. You may find more room to enjoy life rather than just trying to survive it. While the process of therapy is different for everyone it usually leads to a greater sense of contentment, acceptance for oneself, and closeness with others.

Many clients assume their marital relationship will be monogamous and free of major conflict. When they find their expectation are not met or an extramarital affair does occur-- the result is betrayal, anger, and depression. I teach couples how to "fight fair" express their feelings and thoughts, and understand and hear each other in order to accept one another's strengths and flaws without compromising their own needs. Knowing what causes the breakdown in the marriage can actually help strengthen the relationship.

All roads lead to Rome! It doesn't matter where we jump in, if you’re ready, we’ll get there. My POV is through a Neurodiverse lens and incorporates Attachment Theory and C-PTSD with the idea that much of our conflict and distress stems from old wounds & unmet needs that can often be traced back to families of origin and pressures to conform to societal expectations in a neurotypical world. I incorporate trauma-informed, therapeutic modalities, am IFS-informed with a Buddhist Psychology perspective.

Client's arrive with divergent treatment needs and ideas about therapy and its function. I encourage my client's take the lead while I support their exploration toward a successful threrapeutic outcome.
