Psychotherapy can increase the level of functioning for children and adults who struggle with ADHD, Addictions, Anxiety and Depression.
I use a skill building treatment to help you meet your goals by finding strengths, setting goals, chunking, boosting motivation, mood management and finding focus. These treatments include CBT, DBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and 12 Step Facilitation. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship in addictions at the University of California, San Francisco. These six super skills help build executive functioning including attention, planning, emotional regulation, flexible thinking and impulsivity. These skills can help you improve focus, stay organized and reach your goals.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients from teens impacted by trauma (in residential and outpatient settings) to adults with acute mental illness (in a hospital setting), to adults in rehab.
Today you are one step closer to taking ownership of your life! Whether you are seeking individual therapy or family therapy, I am here to help guide you on your path. As Carl Jung said, “Until you make your unconscious conscious, it will direct you and you will call it fate.'” In our work together, I will help you identify patterns, negative beliefs, and limitations that may be holding you back from living your best life. If you are stuck in an unfulfilling relationship or uninspiring job or feeling held back from fulfilling your purpose, I will help you get unstuck.

I have experience utilizing several therapeutic orientations in treating children, teens and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, parenting issues as well as those looking to develop self-understanding and acceptance, a sense of purpose, and authenticity in their lives.
I work with sensitive children, teens and young adults who struggle with expressing themselves, experience anxiety and depression, and have difficulties in voicing their needs in relationships with family and friends and school. Many clients I work with can begin to miss out and avoid opportunities for growth and may experience fear and lack confidence to take chances and try new things. In my approach, I strive to provide a relaxed and judgment free zone for clients to build up their ability to express themselves, develop an understanding of their wants and needs, and begin to participate in life more with new found confidence.

I use DBT, CBT and Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT), as well as other evidence-based treatment modalities to help adults throughout the lifespan, teens, and parents, including moms experiencing post-partum depression, to get back on track with the life they want to lead.
It's all about relationships, starting with your relationship to yourself, your family of origin, your partner, children, friends. And then there's the relationship to your problems: things like depression, anxiety, ADHD, post-partum and parenting stress, body-image problems.

I work with clients to understand themselves and their own story, and then apply that understanding, in the form of coping and problem-solving skills, to their relationships, to get through life's pain and into a life worth living.
