My passion is working with teens and young adults. Clients have noted that my relaxed personality sprinkled with humor helps them feel at ease. I provide a nonjudgmental space where clients can be themselves, embracing their race/sexuality/identity/beliefs. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance, making sure clients feel accepted and understood. I emphasize empowering people to make their own changes at a pace they are comfortable with, while challenging them to utilize the skills they've learned in therapy outside of sessions - After all, I believe the ultimate goal of therapy is to get out of therapy!

Each of us has a story. Our past can influence or shape our lives, but it doesn't define or limit who we are. It doesn't have the power to tell us who we can become. My initial goal is to provide a non-judgmental and safe place for my clients to feel seen, heard and understood. I would like to believe that therapy provides the opportunity to discover and make use of the healing power of our stories to make us stronger. My goal is to help others achieve their potential. I work with ages 18-65. I especially enjoy working with our college population or professionals dealing with work related stress or burnout.

I have maintained a private counseling practice for over 30 years. I work with individual, relationship and family issues. Cognitive behavioral strategies are utilized for skills training such as anger management, stress reduction, communication skills, and emotional regulation. Couples counseling and stepfamilies are areas of special interest. Theoretical perspectives in these areas include interpersonal relations concepts such as object relations theory and relational psychodynamics. Individual counseling focusing on depression, mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, substance use, and personality concerns tend to be approached from a psychodynamic psychotherapy perspective.

Humans are capable of immense strength and growth. Often life can place limitations or obstacles in the way of achieving our goals. With the right support, one can overcome these opportunities, and what was an obstacle can become an opportunity for growth. As a gatherer of knowledge, researcher, and growth seeker myself, I find extreme joy in helping others attain a desire to grow into the best version of themselves. I utilize a neurodiversity-affirming strength-based approach in all my therapy.
