Welcome! Whatever brings you here, I will listen carefully to what you are going through, and together we will help you get past this, to start living the life you want to live, the life you deserve to live. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, unresolved trauma or another issue that has you feeling stuck, the first step is to get some help. Together we will identify why you're feeling this way, and more importantly, how to heal and move past this. Give yourself permission to ask for help - you are worth it! I look forward to meeting you and hearing your unique story.
Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression and trauma. My strength is in deeply connecting with those who have struggled to feel safe in the past. You may arrive feeling isolated & hopeless, even if appearing "fine" to others. Together, we can explore ways you can better connect with your world & enjoy an increased sense of trust and belonging.
As a Marriage & Family Therapist I will help you to better understand the special people in your life, their perspectives and motivations, why you all sometimes act "crazy" toward one another. With increased understanding comes compassion and a sense of deeper connection, resulting in healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

I use a trauma focused approach to help you nurture healthier relationships w yourself & others. We will examine internal critical voices that undermine self-confidence. Understanding the source of these beliefs is the first step to replacing them with healthier ones. I often use EMDR to address past trauma & the negative beliefs caused by trauma, neglect, and complicated childhoods.

I'll approach & tailor sessions to your needs in a manner that is safest & most effective for you & encourage you to share your current challenges & limiting beliefs about yourself. We often explore how these negative beliefs came to be, and may use EMDR processing to replace these negative beliefs with more positive and adaptive ones. Clients have found this approach to be extremely beneficial.
