In life there are many things that influence how we feel, how we think, and in turn how we behave. When working with clients I like to explore how interactions with the social- cultural environment shape their well being. I find it important to focus on the things we can change and find ways to cope with the things we cannot.

It's too much. It's too hard. There's too much going on. You can't keep going like this anymore. The stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief... You're not alone. You're considering support. Support is here. It is possible to feel better. And you deserve that.

While I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other disorders, for the past 15 years I have focused on the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and over the past 2 years I have immersed myself in a relatively new approach to OCD called I-CBT (Inference Based CBT). Using I-CBT techniques I have had the privilege of helping my clients, many of whom had limited success in prior OCD treatment, finally achieve freedom from this distressing disorder. When indicated I also use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My style is warm, inviting, and collaborative.

Therapy is an opportunity for getting support when we recognize that the old ways of coping with challenging life situations are no longer working.

I see adults, adolescents, and couples with a wide variety of issues and concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, sexual issues, anger management, and substance abuse.

My work is based on a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for emotional/mental health. A person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that each individual needs a slightly different approach in order to accomplish these goals, so I make adjustments in technique for each specific case. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life.

I love working with clients who want to be free of ingrained patterns that aren't working, whether from sub-optimal parenting or other experiences. Often these patterns are held in place through painful and threatening feelings stemming from conditioning or our natural dependency on challenged parents. I resource and support clients' present lives, which may mean touching in to what happened to connect to a source of reactivity. Clients who enjoy working with me want more aliveness and freedom, more flow and resilience. They want encouragement & new challenges, and will attend to their experience, unfolding the paths forward.

Let’s be honest: you’ve always been responsible, and now you’ve got a lot to manage! Between a demanding career, school, and family needs, you’re feeling stressed, and life feels out of balance. It’s impossible to do it all, and nothing ever seems good enough. You feel alone and worried, and your social network isn’t able to provide you with the support that you need. Perhaps your sleep is problematic, or your energy is low. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, depressed, irritable, or having difficulty concentrating. You might be troubled by feeling that you're an ineffective partner or parent. Things will get better soon, right?

People often try to change their lives by changing their circumstances—fixing a problem, moving to a new city, finding the right relationship. Sometimes that helps, but meaningful change often comes from learning new ways to relate to thoughts, emotions, and inner experiences that have become entrenched.

My work is mindfulness-based and grounded in understanding how the human nervous system responds to stress.
Are you feeling burnt out and overwhelmed? Maybe you're one tantrum away from exploding at your kids, or you dread visiting family. Maybe you and your partner are stuck in an endless loop of conflict that leaves you feeling exhausted and frustrated. I promise your feelings are more understandable than you think. Most people want to be the best version of themselves, but they don't know where to start. Understanding "why" you react is only a piece of the puzzle! For real change to happen, you need awareness in the moment AND more options for how to respond. Together, we'll explore new ways to handle hard times.
