I have experience working with adolescents and young adults in a variety of contexts who are struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. My work with adolescents and young adults is a combination of empathetic and direct. I use techniques from the CBT, DBT, and Person Centered therapeutic lenses to aid clients in managing their substance use, processing and healing from trauma, and regulating their moods. The goal of the therapy is to empower individuals to overcome their challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall mental health and well-being.

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

Although I help adults with many types of challenges, I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
Welcome to my profile page. I am a supportive, authentic, and direct therapist who prioritizes my clients' emotional safety and sense of connectedness. My background is in social work, so I take a holistic perspective and collaborate with each client on the best way we can work together to help them reach their goals. Each individual is more than just their psyche...their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are impacted by their relationships, environment, resources, and histories. I love hearing about all parts of my clients' lives so we can draw a map for how to help them function better.

Please use email for a response from me. Psychotherapy should be used to enhance the life you already live. Most of the time, we do well in our daily routines. All of us have ...let's say..our weak links. We excel in our careers, but we feel lonely, or we want to better communicate with our partner but don't know where to start. Everyone has little areas that confound us. Sometimes we need a private place to begin to find a different path.

I'm a licensed psychologist who works with adolescents and adults on issues related to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, impulse control, addiction, trauma and sexuality.
Therapy is a journey of looking inward in order to move onward in your life in a more present, whole-hearted way. I believe deeply that every person has the ability to work through loss, sadness, anxiety and other painful experiences to become more fully alive. When we avoid or numb uncomfortable or difficult feelings, we also numb our ability to feel joy, peace of mind, gratitude and love. Speaking our truths in the presence of empathy, warmth and non-judgement can be the first step towards healing.
