I specialize in working with people 18 years old and older. My approach to therapy starts with the idea that people are usually the best experts on their own lives.

It's not easy to seek therapy. I am so interested in those initial steps. My experience has led me to appreciate that some traumatic experience generally is part of the presenting problem. Many clients are surprised to discover this. Because I have spent pro bono time evaluating asylum seekers, I have learned a great deal about the varieties of how trauma haunts. I also have come to respect how strengths and capacities nevertheless endure. This is what I bring to my work---to help sort it all out so that pain is diminished and individuality flourishes.

Through therapy, I help children understand their big emotions and how to navigate through emotional reactions in more helpful, positive ways. I enjoy working with children and teens on finding the best coping tools to make the challenges of growing up feel a bit more manageable. I also help guide teens through their challenging teenage years that may be further impacted by mental health struggles, such as anxiety and depression. My overall goal is for kids and families to see and experience positive change in the home and school environments.

I enjoy working with teens and adults from all backgrounds! I usually connect well with people who had developmental or complex trauma in childhood, as well as young adults struggling with the transition to "adulting." I have experience helping with low self-esteem, general anxiety, social anxiety, chronic illness, codependency, trauma, and depression.

I have experience working with teens, preteens, and adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, problems at school, behavior problems, relationship issues, friendship struggles, and substance abuse.

I am passionate about the benefits of ERP and how well it can help people overcome anxiety. I believe in the value of psychotherapy and understand that everyone is different. I tailor each therapy session to each individual client's needs.

Are stressors getting in the way of life? Are you having a hard time finding solutions? We all face these “bumps” through life and can navigate through them, but at times it’s more difficult. Feeling overwhelmed, you may feel the internal stress affecting parts of your life. Oftentimes, this may be the root of depression or anxiety. I offer my experience and a comfortable safe space to meet and talk collaboratively to discover the roots of the stress and find solutions.

You no longer need to feel isolated or ashamed of your feelings. I have created a safe place for you to explore your concerns with empathic understanding and acceptance. I have specialized in anxiety, depression and relationship issues since 1982. Does your anxiety interfere with daily activities and relationships? We will explore the root of your issue and give you tools to help you calm down and be in control of them. Perhaps you force a smile on your face but inside are feeling despair or separated from others and your surroundings.Together we will get to the root of these issues so you can have healthy, fulfilling relationships.

Are you struggling to regulate your emotions? Are you a person who needs help coping with your anxiety, depression, or trauma? Perhaps you need the space to express yourself and change your thinking patterns into open and self-accepting one's. Life can be difficult and I'm here to help you cope with life's struggles without feeling alone.

At the core of my practice is loving-kindness, the genuine wish for you to be happy. Ideal clients seek relief from anxiety, non-suicidal depression, and a lack of meaning. They grapple with life transitions, craving self-understanding and growth. Open to exploring their beliefs, they aspire to live authentically, fostering meaningful connections, and are committed to positive change.

Young adulthood is an exciting time of growth and change. It can also be a time of stress and uncertainty as you navigate new directions in your life. During this time, we often feel challenged by new phases in our work, school, and relationships. You are moving toward independence and forming your identity while dealing with questions about your future. You may be struggling with your sense of meaning and purpose, or afraid to disappoint your family. Old coping skills aren't as effective anymore, or you may be concerned about your ability to cope in healthy ways. Having a safe space to work through these issues is so important!

Life can be overwhelming and painful. It takes courage and strength to reach out for help. By offering hope, support, feedback, education, and compassion, we will work together to improve the quality of your life as quickly as possible.

Healing is always possible. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. I am here to support you in your healing journey and meet you wherever you are in your process. My approach is to help my clients improve their self-awareness, identify coping skills, and increase their natural supports. Once they are ready, I help them identify and heal the source of their distress. Often times, our distress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles come from deep rooted wounds that need to be healed. My preferred modalities are EMDR, hypnotherapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
