I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with children, teens and individuals on the autism spectrum. My approach is built on the notion each person has the natural inclination for personal growth and change. My role as the therapist is to provide empathy, guidance, and unconditional positive regard while being genuine and honest in the therapeutic relationship.

Are you unhappy in your primary relationship? Have you suffered the loss of a love? Are addictions (yours or your partners) hurting you and the people you love? Would you like to have a more fulfilling sexual relationship with your partner? I have been helping couples increase emotional and physical intimacy for over 20 years. I take a directive approach to helping couples communicate more effectively. Often they find this results in more frequent supportive and loving interactions. Therapy can help you become more empowered in all your relationships. This often results in being more productive at work as well.

While supporting through partnership in the journey of discovery, exploration of possible changes, and goal setting; it is the individual client who is the navigator with the assistance of the clinician through the process of counseling, coaching and encouragement from the therapist. Clients are accepted for who they are and there is no judgment on situation.

Experiencing challenge is part of the human condition. When those challenges threaten to overwhelm, having a warm, empathic, non-judgmental therapist to walk alongside you can be extremely helpful.

Understanding how trauma has affected one's outlook on themselves, others, and the world allows lasting change to unfold. In addition to childhood trauma, I work with those who have experienced recent trauma and reproductive trauma, such as pregnancy loss, termination of desired pregnancy, & infertility.

I have been working with children, teens and adults for almost 20 years in private practice. Prior to that, I worked in schools and at counseling agencies. I see clients of all ages using a combined approach of Cognitive Behavior and Psychodynamic therapies. However, I recognize that one size does not fit all when it comes to therapy, so I tailor my approach to the individual needs of each client.

When coping styles or life experiences challenge our ability to navigate the world, we often need a guide to help get a different perspective and learn new skills. Chronic distressful emotions/stress, burnout, negative inner dialogue, communication and relationship problems, problematic conflict styles, unmet needs/desires, trauma symptoms, and other difficulties lead to emotional distress and disease. Decode your emotions, manage stress/anxiety, cultivate wisdom, move from depression to finding your passion, resolve grief/trauma and help reclaim your joy, transform unhealthy habits, improve relationships while focusing on what's meaningful for a lifetime of self-awareness and acceptance.

When your life is painful and you have worries that overwhelm you, it helps to speak with someone who can help you experience your life and relationships from a new perspective. You and I will collaborate to bring about shifts in thoughts and feelings that can promote a more creative engagement with life, better connections with the people around you, and the ability to make better choices. I have over 20 years experience in treating the depression and anxiety that come from ways of being and thinking that have become damaging.

We would work well together if you are someone who is ready, open, and willing to do the "hard work" to make changes in whatever realm you want. To be able to face the brutal truths about your life and how things got to be the way they are is not a process for the faint of heart. How I work? I focus on the "whole being" by addressing inner and outer worlds, the mind, the heart, as well as the body. I encourage you, for whatever reasons you have to seek therapy, to allow yourself the time to finding both a good fit with a therapist and an approach to therapy that feels helpful to you.

Perhaps you are at this web site because you are experiencing a major life transition or grieving the loss of someone you love. Maybe you're feeling depressed, anxious, alienated, or numb.

I feel quite privileged to share in the journey to increased wholeness and the deeper sense of psychological well being.

I believe change is rooted in making the unconscious conscious. Rather than just treat the symptoms you may be struggling with, I enjoy journeying deeper with you, trying to understand the root of the issue. As you grow to understand your mind, you will begin to make more mindful, intentional life choices, toward a more satisfying life.

Welcome. I have over 10 years experience in the field of psychotherapy (talk therapy). Through the years, I have worked with clients facing a range of stressors, from natural transitions, to abrupt grief and tragedy. It is a normal part of human development to find oneself faced with overwhelming emotions and at a loss for what to do next. These are the times when a licensed and compassionate clinician can be an asset for creating healing and change. At the heart of my work, I aim to help each client turn a season of challenge into an opportunity for character transformation.
