You want to feel balanced, centered and be able to truly experience joy. You are tired of depression, anxiety and/or troubling memories standing in the way of your ability to live a rich and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a current challenging situation, or you're just ready to move forward from a troubled past, I cherish the opportunity of hearing your story and walking with you along your path of healing.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience I provide individual and couples therapy using Attachment Theory and Emotion Focused treatment. I also treat behavioral issues such as sleep, eating disorders and chronic pain. I practice evidence-based treatments supported by scientific research primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My focus is on helping people improve their coping resources to better manage life stress, illnesses, and relationships. Working with your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, I teach you skills that you can use ongoing.

I'm a Psychologist with an Integrative perspective, comfortable working with a variety of types of people and problems from a variety of perspectives. It is as important to be able to work towards change in the present, as it is to revisit and understand how one's developmental history may be influencing present issues or repeating patterns. I have found truths in many theoretical approaches, and as much from studies outside of Psychology as within it.

When we or someone we love is hurting, it can feel scary to think about reaching out for help. Maybe you've tried (perhaps for years) to feel better, and you’re still struggling. It can be hard to find a therapist you connect with who also has the skills to help you. I want you to know that there is hope, and that change is possible. I’m here to listen to you, understand your struggles and strengths, and to help you create a path forward, with clear steps toward a life you can thrive in.

Maybe you have come to a place in life where "figuring it out" on your own is not working. Maybe you want to develop new skills, a new perspective from someone with experience, non-bias, and without judgement. I am committed to assist individuals, couples, and families navigate life. It can be hard to make that first step to reach out for help, but I will meet you right where you are at!

My psychotherapy practice is for adults of all ages, couples, and families. I can help you discover the tools you need to develop and sustain satisfying relationships, respond positively to your environment, cope with stress, trust in yourself, actualize your dreams, and live your life with purpose, hope and integrity. Whether you are adjusting to one of life's transitions (new baby, mid-life, new job, divorce, loss, marriage), struggling with anxiety/depression/anger/self-doubt, or attempting to conquer your fears or past trauma, I can provide a safe and trusting environment to help you discover healthy and productive ways of moving through life.
