Life can be difficult and full of unexpected challenges. I work with adolescents, adults and families in addressing these challenges, finding new ways to cope and function more effectively. I have experience treating disordered eating, body image, self harm, anxiety, interpersonal issues and depression. I also have experience assisting those going through life transitions such as divorce, job changes, and grief. While having been trained in dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy, I also incorporate other theoretical backgrounds in my approach, depending on client need and individual personality.

Hello and welcome! As a therapist, I use a psychodynamic relational approach valuing the unique needs and desires of each client. I strive to foster a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to share their own perspectives and emotions surrounding their past and present life experiences while also identifying, exploring, and challenging self-defeating beliefs. I strive to meet clients where they are in whatever season of life they are in. I also consider how multiple systems of oppression and structural inequalities impact my clients' wellbeing and the concerns they bring forth.

I provide therapy in a supportive, authentic and normalizing environment. I work to help others feel empowered as they work toward their goals and recognize how much they are able to shape their own lives when provided with effective tools and insight. I believe that the appropriate use of humor is extremely helpful and I strongly believe that it is not my place to judge you or to impose my values on you during the therapeutic process. I view counseling as a team effort where the counselor and client work together.

Feeling stressed, anxious, on edge, not allowing yourself to feel happy for fear of the next bad thing that might happen. Highly sensitive, you get hurt easily and the emotions take over leaving you doubting yourself and not able to trust others. It’s getting in the way of your life and your relationships. Trying to avoid it, keep yourself busy, or think your way out of it isn’t working. Your insecurity tells you to put others first, but then you feel used or taken for granted. You so want to be seen, heard, and acknowledged.

Do you feel like you are at at crossroads or in a life transition? Perhaps you are feeling at your wit's end and suspect a change needs to happen and are not sure where to begin - or if you even want to. Life transitions can take many forms. Some examples include: changing careers, feeling you're in a quarter-life or mid-life crisis, moving, the loss of a close loved one, and the shift of a troubled relationship dynamic (with yourself, family, finances, your body, etc). The individuals I see are often high performers struggling with chronic stress and anxiety, a sneaky, loud inner critic, and a history that includes some trauma.

Fear and a misunderstanding of what psychotherapy is, is often what keeps many people from getting the help they so desperately need. I have worked with adolescents, adults, seniors, and the LGBTQ community. I have experienced working with clients in private practice, inpatient and forensic settings whom have struggled with trauma, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and various personality disorders. Clients are often thankful for the help and support that they experience and wonder why they didn’t get the help sooner.

I want you to know that I see you and understand that you're facing challenges. You may be dealing with anxiety, struggling with low mood, finding it difficult to concentrate with ADHD, or experiencing difficulties in your relationships. Your goals are unique to you, but they might include finding effective ways to manage your anxiety or depression, improving your self-esteem, and fostering personal growth. You want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, identify patterns that hold you back, and develop healthier coping strategies to navigate life's ups and downs.

Do you want to grow and self-actualize? My modalities are experiential/insight oriented, so I like to work with people who look into themselves for healthier, fulfilled lives. Do you have depression/anxiety, bipolar? Looking for a career change, have gender identity questions, or want to maximize your potential? Need learning disability advocacy? Then call me today. We bring our past and decisions into every situation. Knowing what those decisions are, and that the past does not define us, is the first step in successful therapy. I use re-decision, Gestalt, NLP, hypnosis, and mindfulness to find answers and peace within.

Life transitions and hardships can bring about stress, Anxiety, and/or Depression. Left unattended the levels of stress and Anxiety can intensify. Together we can work to gain insight and understanding into these issues and strive for the life you envision.

A variety of approaches and techniques can be productive in the self-discovery process. My first priority is to create a comfortable setting – regardless of geography – that makes each individual at ease in sharing his or her significant life experiences. A feeling of respect, non judgmental attitude and positive regard will be felt when meeting with me. With this atmosphere set, the ability to develop new perspectives, coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills will prosper. I will help you transform your thinking in a way that enables you to find new purpose, deeper meaning and a more authentic relationship.
