You can heal from TRAUMA. If you are living with traumatic events from your past, ranging from sexual abuse, incest, rape, humiliation, violence, and attachment wounds, therapy could be a safe space to address these injuries. Through a collaborative approach and taking into account the mind & body, I join my clients on a journey of exploration, growth, and healing. I can assist you in reconnecting with yourself and your body, feel grounded, and helping you manage your life more smoothly.

Are you concerned about a child or adolescent that is struggling? Are they shutting down and sad? Worried or mad? Are they having trouble functioning at school or with friends? How about at home and with their family? Has something in their life changed? Maybe they need a little more support at this particular time... Therapy can help. I work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families.

“Be yourself! Everyone else is already taken…” – Oscar Wilde. Being yourself is often easier said than done. As a trauma therapist, I see how easy it is for negative experiences to hinder our ability to be the people we want to be and create a life we want to live. Our bodies and minds are amazingly adaptable—we manage to find ways to survive horrible life events—but these survival instincts were meant to be used on a short-term basis. Traumas—big or small—are stored in the body and affects our ability to connect with others, to trust, and to feel safe in the world. The good news is, healing is possible!

Everyone has challenging times and hurts in their life they want to move past. Many need someone to accompany them to move through these times. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to helping people overcome trauma, grief, and disappointments to move toward the goals you want in your life. I have over 25 years of experience with children, youth and families who have experienced trauma, conflict, behavioral challenges, and life transitions including moving toward independence, exploring sexuality, and managing disabilities. I have seen the healing and growth that happen. Give yourself the chance.

I have seen how the powerful process of psychotherapy helps people cope with life's challenges and find inner strength. Therapy reduces suffering and promotes resilience. Additionally it helps improve communication and understanding in relationships. Effective psychotherapy elicits change and guides people toward living more authentically. I realize that people often seek help at their most vulnerable times. I am aware of of this as I guide my clients toward a better understanding of themselves and their inner world, thereby allowing for emotional growth, peace and the attainment of personal goals.

Are you looking to solve the problem you have been having within your family? I am here to help you get the support you’ve been looking for to improve your relationships. Help with the fights at home about homework. Help getting your child to do what they are told the first time. Help with a transition to a new stage of life. I've always gravitated towards working with youth and young adults with the highest needs because that is where I have seen I've been most effective as a therapist.

The first step to healing is the step you are taking now. Searching for the ‘right’ therapist can feel daunting. I believe the right match is so important to building the trust needed to have a successful therapeutic experience. I have been in practice since 2005 helping adults, adolescents and families.

I offer Telehealth and teletherapy sessions. You deserve to be happy and my goal is to get you there. Together we can explore the issues at hand and develop a plan that allows you to move forward, confidently. Do you feel like life has become unmanageable? Are you unsure of the next step? Do you feel like you and your partner are more like roommates who are annoyed with one another instead of romantic partners?

The capacity for healing resides in everyone. Therapy is about unhooking from self-limiting adaptive patterns, while cultivating self-acceptance and reconnecting with essential wise parts of yourself. I work with men and women using a depth-oriented, body-mind approach to explore the complexity of identity and relationships. My aim is to help you understand from an embodied perspective the deeper dynamics of your struggle, strengthen the parts inside of you that can move beyond it and engage in life with a greater sense of meaning, strength, and self-compassion.

I want to work with individuals and couples who are motivated to go on a journey of self exploration to arrive at the destination of greater understanding of themselves and their behavior. I believe that the most important factor in this journey is the relationship between myself and my client(s). Creating a safe, nonjudgemental atmosphere is my priority as it is crucial to undertake such a journey. I use a broad variety of skills and techniques so that I can tailor the therapeutic process to each individual or couple.

On the outside, everything’s fine. You’re known for being courageous and unshakeable; the kind of person others want around in a crisis. But on the inside? On the inside there’s a part of your life that feels inauthentic, unmanageable – maybe even downright unbearable. Maybe your work life and home life are pulling you in a million different directions, and you’re ready to quit one or the other. Maybe you and your partner are stuck on the painful side of a betrayal. Or, maybe your marriage feels strained and disconnected, and you wish you could just get those butterflies back.

With so many things in the world grabbing for your attention, it can be hard to slow down and find time for yourself. You might feel the overwhelming weight of trying to keep it all together all the time. You might feel like you’ve lost track who you are, and when you finally have free time you struggle to find rest. Often a little time to check in with yourself can make all the difference. I’m here to support you as you take the bold step of putting some time aside for you.

Are you lonely, feeling depressed and hopeless thinking that life has passed you by? Are you struggling with a transition in your life: empty nest, divorce, newly married, or the loss of a loved one or a new job? I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with these issues. I help clients acquire direction and tools to move beyond old "non working"patterns in their lives. I work to see your growth through empowerment, direction and education.

Being human isn't always easy, and when life gets complicated and becomes challenging, therapy can help offer tools to navigate through a crisis while providing you a deeper exploration of yourself. Problems in relationships often come from old ways of coping that served you in the past, but now may be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. I believe our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change. Healing is possible, and therapy is a journey towards self-discovery where you get to explore the landscape of your own mind.

Are you experiencing any of the following in your marriage: trust issues, infidelity, feeling more like roommates than romantic partners, addiction issues, frequent arguments that never get resolved, or just feeling lonely in your relationship? When you try to talk things out, it just makes everything worse and you feel stuck. You know you need help but don't know what to do to get back those feelings of intimacy and closeness that you used to have together. Instead of growing apart, you are longing for help to get your relationship back on track so that you can find the love, passion and trust once more that you really need.
