People create knowledge in relationships. We NEED other minds to hone impressions into skills. We need explicit communication: this is HOW to create knowledge. The risks of self-disclosure are offset with great attendance, courage & proactive participation. It is HOW not WHAT problem is raised that yields solutions. Emotions are priceless data delivery systems; respected, examined & honored. Honest, caring connection buffer high-risk daring sharing. Problems are commonplace, unlike problem solving. Doing things differently creates different outcomes. At OATS YOU will build performance strength or you will be gone. It is up to you.

I specialize in working with teens and adults experiencing issues around anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual identity, relationships, life stage transitions, self-esteem, behavioral issues and more. I recognize the difficulty in changing patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you and I believe the therapeutic relationship is key in creating desired changes. I place a great deal of importance on examining macro factors that may be impacting behaviors and emotions instead of blaming you for acting or feeling certain ways.

I specialize in the treatment of weight and eating disorders, depression and anxiety. I provide cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on helping the client to identify thoughts and emotions associated with certain behaviors, and I infuse mindfulness techniques. Through this journey, I help clients understand how and why they are responding to situations in the way that they do, enabling them to find inner peace and lead fuller, more enriched lives. I typically meet with clients on a one-on-one basis, but I am happy to schedule sessions with concerned partners, parents or other family members together with the client.

Have you reached that critical point in your life where you find yourself lost in a dark place, unable to find your way forward? Are you frustrated that nothing in your life seems to be working out the way you hoped? Perhaps you are feeling sad or have lost a sense of meaning or purpose. You may be weighed down by worry, gripped with hopelessness, or wrestling with memories of events you wish you could forget. You have tried to cope with your feelings in ways that only make things worse. You feel harried, worn out, miserable, and confused. You’ve asked yourself if anyone can really help. If any of this sounds familiar, let's talk.

I became a psychotherapist because my own therapy and therapist was so incredibly impactful. It is the greatest honor and privilege to bear witness to my clients' lives. I have an egalitarian approach; we partner together to give you the support needed to make whatever changes you are seeking in your life.

You are facing a significant life challenge. Maybe it's the death of an important person, or the end of a relationship, or simply a natural life change. Possibly it is another type of challenge, such as recovery from addiction or trauma. Maybe your child is experiencing their own difficulties and you want to help them, but you aren't sure how. You have questions and concerns: Is what I'm feeling ok? How do I best help and support myself and/or my child? How will I re-make my life? What does healing mean to me ... and who am I as I undertake that process? Your questions are valid, and exploring them could be helpful.

You may be facing your first counseling experience or after years of working with other practitioners--willing to try again. When we first meet, I trust you will know you are safe and respected. I commit my full presence, deep interest, and willingness to be open to who you truly are. In other words, I am "teachable"--by you, for you and with you. And rather than fit you into a model, I will "learn and flex"--learn how you learn, change and grow and flex my skills, style and tools to find what works best for you.

As a therapist, my passion lies in collaboratively working with adults, guiding them through the therapeutic process while supporting self-reflection, insight, and understanding patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that become troublesome and ineffective.
