My specialty areas include depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment, foster/ adoption, anger, and parenting & relationship difficulties with both children and adults.
My lifelong passion is empowering others to maximize opportunities, develop skills, and achieve their personal potential. I believe we all have the power to grow from challenges and stressors; we just need the right guidance and space to do so. I offer high quality individual, couple and/or family therapy to treat a wide range of symptoms, stressors, and/or conflicts. I believe the way change begins to take place is by establishing a trusting relationship with you and by encouraging you to trust and believe in yourself. As this process evolves, a sense of confidence and security develops within, creating a more peaceful life.

I enjoy working with people of all ages. The broad range of developmental challenges invites me to creatively collaborate to address whatever may be impeding the ability to fully engage in and enjoy life. Whether it is a difficult transition, a temporary stressor, a "sensitive" temperament, a current or historic trauma or whatever internal or external disruption, finding ways to optimize how one approaches and copes is my primary focus.

Personal power is a phrase often said, but not always understood. Owning the impact of the choices you make, comes with recognizing the power your voice and behavior have on your future. The journey I have chosen has offered me the understanding of the physical and emotional impact of change, by owning my power to have the life I want. I want to offer you the support we all require, to consciously begin your journey to own your power to change your life.

Everyone goes to therapy for a different reason. Some people just need someone to talk to. Others may be struggling with stress, trauma or difficult life adjustments. I am here to remind you that you don’t have to manage everything alone. I like to view therapy as a form of self care. I feel it is important for my clients to choose how they’d like to spend their time in our sessions. You may be new to therapy or this may be something you're returning to, whatever the reason I am committed to guiding you toward your goals.

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
