Many people experience uncertainty and anxiety about consulting a therapist. I believe it shows courage to seek out psychotherapy. You may be struggling with serious emotional issues, deep personal crises, relationship distress, or a sense of distance with your child or adolescent. You may simply feel that something is "off" in your life. Many people I work with simply want to get more from their lives - more joy, more connection, more serenity and more general well-being. To help you reach your goals, I collaborate with you to create a therapy environment that is warm, safe, supportive, challenging when needed, and authentic.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I facilitate change by providing a safe, non-threatening environment that demonstrates love, compassion, trust, and understanding. This caring environment helps children and adults build the stepping stones needed to live a happier and healthier life through learning self-awareness and the development of effective coping skills. I use a variety of tools in my practice, including EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness techniques, which help reduce anxiety and depression particularly for those individuals who have experienced trauma.

There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy or analysis, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning. My analytic training enables me to work intensively, and I enjoy incorporating experiential techniques like journaling, psychodrama, and art.

It has been a privilege to provide home study, post placement and clinical services to families as they sought and sustained permanency for children through domestic and international adoption, foster and kinship care. This has increased my understanding around issues including attachment disruption, transracial adoption, behavior management, fertility, loss, grief, identify formation and school issues.

I work with teenagers and young adults who are going through life’s transitions. Many changes happen during the years leading up to adulthood and it can take a lot of effort to become the person you want to be. Sometimes seeking therapy is part of that journey. I also work with parents to create and implement strategies and routines that help families better function. Family therapy can help you find and use your family’s strengths to build stronger relationships and give you more quality time with the ones you love.

But truthfully, these areas are often so workable. It is possible to increase your confidence in handling your painful thoughts and feelings, and move towards living a more enriched, meaningful life. One in which you are less pulled around by persistent, anxious thoughts, and more able to live each moment fully.
