"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." ~Desmond Tutu. We all have the capacity within us to effect positive change in our lives, but sometimes we may need additional guidance and support in order to get through some of life's greater challenges. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience in helping people find their own inner light amidst the darkness of depression, trauma, anxiety, and loss. I utilize a holistic approach, which draws upon the unique strengths of each individual as key to the healing process.

I use traditional talk therapy, expressive arts therapy, play and sand tray therapy to help individuals, children, adolescents and their families solve issues that are roadblocks to growth and development. I have experience in trauma and abuse including sexual abuse, divorce issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD and school refusal. I have had much success in helping individuals and families identify their troubled areas and work through them to achieve a more satisfying life. I believe each person is a unique being with special talents and traits and this uniqueness is respected and nurtured during our work together.

When life gets complicated you may need a safe, confidential space to figure things out with an experienced, nonjudgmental expert you trust. I've had a successful practice for over 25 yrs. Because each client and situation is unique, I've learned what it takes to help clients thrive. Using goal-oriented psychotherapy, I offer a prescriptive combination of strategies based on preference. By gaining insight into emotional and behavioral responses and applying best-fit coping skills, my clients get the relief they need to not just move through the challenges, but beyond them.

I believe that we all can heal from emotional pain when we are able to process those events that caused suffering and discomfort. By providing a safe space, we can explore your unique circumstances and work together towards finding solutions that will help you live a fuller life.

Welcome to my practice. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore and identify the underlying beliefs driving your behaviors, shaping your habits, and impacting your relationships. We will work on a little going back, a lot on the present with a focus on the future. I ask questions and give feedback. I am not a head nodding type of therapist with long annoying blocks of silence. I put things out there for you to consider. If it resonates with you, we go with it. If it doesn't, we don't.

Society and social media tell us that we have to look, feel, and act a certain way to “fit in.” More likely than not, you don’t fit the typical mold that society has created and as a result you might feel like an outsider; other, different, less than, anxious, depressed, or lonely. Perhaps this doesn't quite fit your particular situation or feelings, and that's okay, too. I am here to offer you alternatives; acceptance, non-judgment, balance, and effective tools to help you live life with more fulfillment and less conflict. I see adolescents, adults , and couples/families coping with various mental health and life issues.

I work primarily with young children and adults . With all clients, regardless of age, I take a systemic perspective and try to understand the client as an agent of his or her own development within the limitations of the family/social system. I work from the assumption that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have.
