Welcome to my practice! Are you looking for a confidential & safe place to turn? Are you feeling ready to make some meaningful changes in your (or your child’s) life? I’ve been working as an LCSW since 1999, supporting and helping adolescents, young adults & adults effectively navigate emotional health and wellness challenges. I believe the key to beginning the healing process is in finding someone you can build a safe, honest and insightful therapeutic relationship with. We all need someone who genuinely listens and understands. Together we can determine next best steps.

At the end of the day, relationships are what life is about, right? But what if your partner makes it difficult to have a fulfilling relationship? Perhaps there have been years of disconnection. Maybe you're not even sure if this relationship can work. Come in and let me share with you the latest research about relationships and what you need to do when your partner is being difficult in order to get more of what you want. Once you've done your part, we'll know what direction this relationship is going in.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, OCD, relationship issues, and more.

I have daytime and evening openings to work with clients of all ages and especially enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, parents, couples, and families.

I provide a calm, safe and non-judgmental space. My expertise is helping women to feel more fulfilled in their lives. Tired of feeling not good enough? Does anxiety keep you from sleeping? Are you stuck in a painful past? Do you use food, alcohol/drugs, work, relationships or spending money as a way to avoid painful feelings? I will provide support and help you explore solutions.

You CAN change the way you feel. I connect and build rapport with clients who have not had much success in therapy prior and focus on building a trusting, therapeutic relationship.

I facilitate online healing journeys towards life balance, by helping my clients to connect, activate and integrate the dimensions of healing-wisdom that are inherent to all of us. By combining modern, evidence-based approaches with ancient spiritual healing modalities we will embark on a journey of deeper connection with the wisdom of your own mind-heart-body-soul. This work will help you release what is no longer needed and find freedom and authenticity in your choices, self-expression, and relationships. Healing journeys can be facilitated for individuals, couples, and groups and are based on the client's unique goals.

We all experience difficulties at some point in our lives. At times, these difficulties can become overwhelming, and we struggle to cope. This can be from one incident or many over several years. Sometimes these events make us feel stuck and can even impact us many years later. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to assist you through the healing process and ultimately help you get unstuck.

Therapy is a unique experience. It provides the opportunity to show up exactly as you are and explore your thoughts, feelings, identities, and relationships without fear of judgement; and to feel heard, accepted, and cared for in return. Life is increasingly hard, and my goal is to provide space to decompress, navigate hardships together, and celebrate your growth and successes. We might be a good fit if you are in a life transition, experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling with body image, have specific goals you'd like to work towards (or would like to identify some!), or simply believe you could be happier.

I am accepting new clients in-person & on telehealth! Asking for help is not easy and it takes courage to recognize you want to change something. From navigating a Life Transition, experiencing PTSD from a Traumatic Event, struggling with your Self-Esteem, dealing with Career Challenges, battling ADHD, or just feeling the Overwhelm of everyday life... you are not alone! What you are experiencing is very real and seeking help shows bravery and strength. I believe that with the right support and approach, healing and lasting change are possible and within reach. I am here to support and walk alongside you as we navigate this together.

Change is one of the few things life guarantees us. If you're going through a transition in your life you may be feeling lost and confused. Maybe you're feeling stuck and wondering how you will ever get through this. Other people seem to skate through life effortlessly so why do you keep hitting every bump? Everything you're thinking and feeling right now is normal. Change is a difficult but necessary part of life. The good news is that you will get through this and come out a happier and stronger person on the other side.

Relationships are my expertise area, especially issues of broken trust, poor communication, intimacy and addiction. While there is no "perfect partner", intimate partnerships should be a source of joy, safety and support. Whether you are dating or engaged, married or contemplating divorce, "straight" or LGBTQIA, monogamous or poly, kinky or vanilla, in your 30's or retirement, you CAN feel understood by one another and have deep, joyful connection! With over 35 years of experience, my deep toolbox is full of skills and concepts that will move you forward together. (Couples sessions are 90 minutes; Individual 45 or 60 minutes).

I partner with people who are struggling and want to become happier and healthier versions of themselves. More specifically, many of my patients are seeking help related to an eating disorder, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or a lack of confidence.
