Life can sometimes feel and be very complicated. As a psychotherapist in private practice for 25 years, I work with adults, adolescents, families and couples. The way I approach working with people is to create a compassionate, intelligent, non-judgemental, therapeutic space where a person can feel safe, heard and understood. A person can then be more at ease with talking about their concerns and problems in an authentic and meaningful way. I welcome people from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and family structures.

Everyone has a story. I believe people are deserving of a safe space to be genuinely seen and heard. I am here to support and empower my clients in their growth and fulfillment as they navigate their own unique journey through life. Although I work with clients of most ages and all backgrounds, many of my clients are millennial adults who are wanting to discover and connect with themselves on a deeper level as they experience the full spectrum of the human experience. Sessions are often a balance of supporting my clients as they process thoughts and feelings, and empowering them to develop new patterns in coping and communication.

I like to work collaboratively with clients of all ages to help with the following: success at work or school, cultivating satisfying relationships, stress reduction, stress management, fostering a hopeful and optimistic attitude, reducing depression and anxiety, and fostering a healthy relationship with one's body. Together, we will explore what gets in the way of maximizing your potential for success and happiness and come up with strategies to help you to feel better.
