I have several passions: 1) I help women struggling with depression and self esteem, especially as they age, to find meaning in their lives. 2) I help parents raise kids who will want to come home for Thanksgiving...and you'll want to see them. 3) I help parents who have made a decision not to work to be full-time stay-at-home parents feel confident and validated in their choice. There is no more important work than successfully raising the next generation. 4) I help seniors dealing with aging issues, depression, and addictions. 5) I help all adults dealing with addictions, depression, and anxiety.

Have you had difficulty managing your emotions, adjusting to life transitions, or do you struggle with anxiety or depression? We can work collaboratively to gain insight into the root of your challenges, while developing coping strategies to assist you in the present moment to help you regain control of your life. I believe that every individual has the capability to heal and thrive. In addition to working with individual adults, I also specialize in the older adult 65+ population, assisting these clients in navigating their unique challenges in adjustment, grief, caregiver stress, and chronic disease management.

Great to meet you! Thanks for taking the first step in exploring how you can create a more fulfilling life. I work with clients of all ages, from 3-65+, with a focus on understanding client's behaviors and how they impact their relationships; both with themselves and others. I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn the tools they need to have meaningful relationships and experiences. Therapy is a safe space to learn, practice and reflect on these tools and I hope that you feel empowered to take this first step.

I strongly value creating a compassionate and non-judgmental setting where we can work together to address your challenges and build a more enjoyable and meaningful life. I use evidence-based treatments to address a wide range of problems including anxiety disorders and stress management, PTSD, mood disorders (ex: depression, bipolar disorder), and insomnia.

Over my 15 year career, I've worked to Support, Witness and Inspire people of varying ages, beliefs, orientations and circumstances. I believe not one of them was broken. Each deserved to be met, at exactly where they were, as an opening for what to move toward. We all feel pain; we are challenged differently and yet none of us does well when we hurt silently and alone. I am passionate about working with others to navigate uncertain times.

I believe that much of our suffering begins with a lost connection. When we're depressed, we've lost touch with our own vitality, even our own reasons for living. When we're grieving, we've lost an essential part of our world--and, with it, a part of ourselves. When we're operating from a place of shame or fear, we've lost the internal sense of security and belonging that reminds us we're okay. I believe that psychotherapy works by restoring these vital connections--to ourselves, and to the people and pursuits that give our lives meaning--so that we can live our lives more authentically, creatively, and fully.

I am experienced at helping adults, children (including teens), and families. If you are having trouble with your feelings (anxiety, anger, depression), trouble with your relationships, or need help with your direction in life, call or email.

Are you feeling stuck, stressed or simply don't feel as good as you would like to? How can you change the way you feel, think and experience life? Most people are creatures of habit and once they settle into a repetitive pattern, find it daunting to move out of it. Unconscious conditioning is a powerful unseen player that creates repetitive patterns which greatly affect your quality of life. I help you access your unconscious patterns and reprogram them, freeing your intrinsic health, wisdom and zest for life.

I believe in our intrinsic and creative potential to strive for and attain more fulfilling lives. My therapy involves Holding Healing Space: creating a safe, compassionate, interactive environment where we collaborate in alleviating emotional pain by removing blocks and barriers that interfere with the joys of growth and personal development. My Practice: drug free approaches to extreme emotional states; working with each individual's unique needs & strengths rather than diagnoses; a firm belief in the dignity and inner potential for change within all of us.
