Whether you’re looking to gain insight, strengthen your relationships, or identify harmful patterns of behavior - I'm here to help. One of the key aspects of successful and quality therapy is the therapist/client relationship. I understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek therapy and use warmth, humor, and curiosity to build strong relationships with my clients. Through a collaborative, nonjudgemental, and empowering style, I strive to create a safe space for openness and exploration to help clients develop healthier coping strategies, decrease negative symptoms, and foster personal growth.

I specialize in helping those struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and relationship issues. My goal is to help clients compassionately explore the depths of their emotions and find empowerment through meaningful self-discovery.

Using cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, I am committed to helping you develop the skills you need to navigate challenges, effectively cope with distress, and start to live as your most authentic self. I invite you to acknowledge and express your truest self.

The motivation to seek counseling can come at many different times and stages in one's life - Whether it be to explore a deeper understanding of oneself, discovering ways to resolve relationship conflicts, or striving for stability or even change.

Many of us in our lifetime will experience crisis-inducing events that we cannot resolve alone. Coping with a traumatic life event or any emotional experience is very personal.

I, with a wide range of experience will facilitate a meaningful and practical experience in the therapeutic sessions.

My clients are ready for a change. They are ready to take action to stop the ruminations, catastrophic thinking, and change the limited beliefs that have hindered them for too long. Their bodies have been burdened by it, often carrying tension and unexplained pains. Their relationships have been negatively impacted by it, including the most crucial one with themselves. Their mind has been looping with past despairs or future worries that don’t end up happening, and they're exhausted. They want to rid themself of harmful old patterns, have more agency in their life, and reach for their joys rather than fleeing from their fears.

Being human is challenging.

I love helping clients explore what gives their lives meaning so they can move forward with genuine authenticity and a strong sense of self. I help clients connect to their feelings, find inner strength, and live with more purpose and fulfillment.

I've been in private practice for over thirty years. I believe therapy is mostly about the relationship between the therapist and client. I feel change happens when a person finally feels safe enough to express their deepest fears and dreams, their childhood experiences and current struggles. I try to provide a comfortable environment for my clients so that they can be free to be authentic.

Currently accepting new clients: adults ages 18+. Psychotherapy is an endeavor that can feel uncomfortable at times, but together we can work to troubleshoot your "hang-ups" and insecurities to smooth out your path ahead. I want to work with you on your gravitational pull towards relationships that end up causing you pain; on your grief and anxiety over feeling like you've dug yourself into an insurmountable hole; on your feelings of frustration with life and self-sabotage. Bring it to me and let's talk about it.

Finding a therapist you feel connected to and understood by is the key to a successful therapy experience. I pride myself on being an authentic and non-judgmental therapist. I aim to work with my clients to create a space that is comfortable, safe; while still challenging them to make the changes they are looking for. Therapy is a partnership, and my style is active, collaborative, and empowering.

I want to help people discover, think about, give meaning to, and find compassion for, alienated parts of themselves that are repressed and forbidden, containing unmet needs, historic conflicts, and unfulfilled dreams. Reunion with these parts can help people better understand their current behaviors, thoughts, and feelings and develop options for changing old patterns in their relationships with themselves, partners, and work that were once effective defenses against psychological pain. Therapy helps us become more fully alive, creative, connected to others, and free to be ourselves with less, and perhaps more realistic, fear-- individually, in our families, cultures, and society.

As a psychotherapist with 30 years of experience I have treated individuals like yourself. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative and active relationship between you and me. We will explore your feelings and beliefs in a safe and trusting environment.
