Do you feel you have a lot of conflict within your relationship? Are you healing from an affair, divorce, or loss of a loved one? Does your mental health inhibit your daily functioning? Have you found yourself committing self-sabotaging behavior? These are problems I can help with. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe environment where individuals and couples can process their emotions, and feel heard, accepted, and respected. My goal is to build a strong relationship with each client through warmth, empathy, and authenticity. I want to meet you where you are and help bring progress and connection to couples and families.

Worried about your child's behavior? Struggling with parenting? Concerned about your adolescent's self image or self harm? Stuck in a negative cycle with your significant other and unsure how to connect again? Coming to terms with divorce and co-parenting? Wanting to improve family communication? Battling the shadows of depression and anxiety? Wanting change in your life but not sure what? Seeking therapy is hard and deeply personal. You are the expert in your life and I strive to make each client feel accepted, safe and understood. Together, we can discover your unique path to change and healing within yourself and relationships.

With over 27 years of experience, I help individuals overcome depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-worth, and life's complex challenges. I understand that seeking support can feel daunting, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment for you to share your story. Using proven techniques, I'll assist you toward new ways of thinking and acting, freeing you from limiting thought and behavioral patterns.

We spend our lives in relationships. People in our familes, co-workers, friends partners, significant others, and spouses are part of life. Those relationships are valuable and may provide happiness and satisfaction. But relationships can become difficult and strained and sometimes cause us personal stress and frustration. Sometimes we might wonder if a relationship is really positive or not. Working with clients on improving their relationships is what I do most.

We have Immediate Openings! We are a therapist owned practice of dedicated providers that are focused on providing excellent patient care. We are a multidisciplinary, culturally diverse team of counselors, psychologists, registered dieticians, and marriage and family therapists who have varied expertise in the assessment and treatment of behavioral health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and addictive behaviors, as well as family and couples work. Our staff is skilled in working with anyone of diverse sexual orientation/gender identities as well as cultural, religious, and economic backgrounds.

My practice provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients may discuss any personal challenges with the confidence that they are legitimate, heard, and respected. My work is a collaborative effort specific to each client to resolve many issues including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, family- of- origin problems, and a variety of interpersonal relationship issues (see "Specialities").

I provide help for depression, anxiety, past trauma, and difficult relationships with a special interest in adults with Asperger Syndrome/Autism Spectrum Disorder, and their families. I am trained in EMDR, a treatment for trauma.

Reducing or eliminating emotional eating is my therapeutic focus. At this time I am only able to accept clients interested in our "Why Can't I Stop Eating?" program. If you are eating secretly, eating past fullness or when not hungry, feeling shame after eating or using food to deal with emotions, consider attending the "Why Can't I Stop Eating?" program which includes a weekly 2 hour Skills (classroom-type) group and weekly individual therapy. Persons participating in bariatric programs are also welcome in the Why Can't I Stop Eating? group.

Humor is one of my therapist superpowers. On the journey to greater emotional well-being, I want you to laugh, feel comfortable, and not take yourself too seriously. Seriously! Because when you're a parent worried about your child's peer relationships or your teen's behaviors or school performance, I know life can feel heavy. Even for adults dealing with typical life transitions, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. Whatever the challenge, I'm here for you. We will work together to regain the light-heartedness that makes life enjoyable.

You are facing some challenges in your life like trauma, mood disorders, chronic health or pain issues, perhaps with co-occurring diagnoses of mental health & addiction. You might be struggling in your relationships as a spouse, partner or parent. You need a collaborative partnership with a trauma-informed therapist who will customize their approach towards your care, work with you to understand your needs, recognize your strengths and learn to address your challenges. You are looking for a therapist who is responsive to your culture, sexuality & uniqueness. You could work with the therapist as an individual, a couple or a family.
