Searching for a therapist can be a challenge! If you’re looking for assistance with trauma, anxiety/depression, grief, eating issues or other life challenges, you have come to the right place! I am an EMDR approved therapist with additional training in other techniques! Therapy is not "one size fits all", which is why I take a more wholistic approach to helping clients. I offer services both in person and online, typically Monday-Friday with some extended hours over weekends. I would love the opportunity to help you heal. Please contact me for more information!

I have discovered in my 30+ years as a therapist that when we get stuck in a certain way of feeling, thinking, or behaving which interferes with our happiness, it is usually rooted in a past historyor perhaps a singular past experience, which traps us in a "programmed" way of being. I work with people to liberate them from these patterns which are often ways that the brain processes these experiences and when they can be reprocessed a person can have a much more functional and happy life. Anxiety, depression and relationship dysfunction can often be healed using these principals.

I work with teens and adults who are looking to improve their mental health needs. I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their mental health goals with the intention of seeking relief and finding fulfillment in their lives. It is paramount that each patient feels that they are in a comfortable and trusted environment.

Are you still struggling with feelings of not being enough, being too much, insecurity in relationships, rejection sensitivity, and fear of abandonment? Did you grow up in a dysfunctional family atmosphere? Did trauma(s) during crucial developmental years affect the way you connect with yourself and others? I focus on working with adults who are coping with the effects of developmental/complex PTSD (cPTSD) and/or growing up in a dysfunctional family environment. Trauma comes from an experience that overwhelms our ability to cope. As children a rupture (physical or emotional) in our primary attachment can cause traumatic effects.

It takes strength to seek help. My goal is to build a safe, non-judgmental environment, where we can explore and find insight together. In therapy, I enjoy working with clients to explore their inner worlds to build self resiliency. In particular, I have an interest in perinatal mood disorders such as postpartum depression and have conducted research in this area. Mostly, I work with adults and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression and/or dealing with trauma.

Making the decision to see a counselor can be difficult. It can be hard to admit when we need help. My goal is to create a relaxing atmosphere so that you can feel comfortable sharing your story. Psychotherapy is not about focusing on the problems in life, but more about solution building. Although it acknowledges present problems and past causes, it predominantly explores your current resources and future hopes, helping you to look forward and use your own strengths to achieve your goals. I will help you to learn more about yourself so that you can tackle any difficult situation with confidence, empathy, and skill.

You have lost your way due to life’s ever changing circumstances. Maybe you have spent so much time taking care of others that you have forgotten how to take care of yourself. You yearn to build healthier, stronger relationships and participate in enjoyable and meaningful activities again. You have had experiences that overwhelmed your natural abilities and strength to cope with life as you knew it. You feel a general loss of safety and trust in others and yourself. You developed ways of coping that helped you get through hard times, but now some of those coping mechanisms get in the way of living a truly fulfilling life.

I specialize in working with children, parents, & women in the perinatal period. I help children as young as two understand and express their emotions more appropriately, feel more regulated, & improve their social-emotional functioning. Children I support struggle with anxiety, trauma, anger and behavior challenges, or are adjusting to a life change. I provide compassionate and sensitive care to all mamas, and particularly mothers who have endured the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), birth trauma, or struggle with perinatal anxiety or depression.

I have a special concern for women, parents struggling to meet the needs of their children, and members of the LGBTQ communities creating families of choice, dealing with coming out issues, struggling through gender transitioning, and reconciling their sexuality with their spiritual growth.
