I value helping people shift their perspectives in order to gain a better sense of themselves. My goal is to help my patients gain the tools to help them become better equipped to navigate life’s challenges.

My specialty includes: difficulty with anxiety, depression, Trauma, difficulty regulating emotions, substance use.
I work with creative professionals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or internally quiet—often during periods of stress, uncertainty, or pressure to keep producing.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and emotionally attuned, yet feel disconnected from their momentum or unsure how to move forward. This doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like silence, shutdown, or feeling behind your own ideas.
Therapy with me is a grounded, reflective space to slow things down, understand what your system is responding to, and reconnect with what feels true—without forcing clarity or performance.

I have had the pleasure of working with all age groups for over 30 years. Need help with your kids? Parenting education and training are important issues in my practice. In general, important goals in therapy include learning how to make the best decisions for oneself in day-to-day life and in developing basic problem solving strategies. Often, significant change can be made simply through the process of education and awareness, offered in a caring and compassionate environment. I use EFT in my practice to maximize symptom relief and minimize the need for extended time in therapy.

These instances can leave us feeling stuck – stuck in unhealthy patterns and behaviors, in feelings of anxiety or depression, and even in relational conflicts that seem impossible.
Therapy is a place without judgment, where you can feel seen and known...which is also what can make it seem just a little scary. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where you can feel open to work through challenges, nurture your strengths, and develop new patterns. You can feel better, and you don’t have to get there on your own.
