I specialize in both individual and marriage counseling. Do you remember what it was like to make progress in your life or how it feels to be truly happy? Do you feel like your life is on autopilot? If so, it may be time for a change. Can you imagine what it would be like to have a healthy relationship? Do find yourself being defensive, needing to justify your actions or even avoiding having conversations with people? Or maybe you are struggling with trusting your partner, years after becoming aware of an extra-marital affair. Well, things can get better and I can help you work through all those feelings.

We are a team of licensed counselors passionate about working with clients who are seeking mental wellness. We can support you as you combat anxiety and depression, explore your identity, wade through life transitions, or learn to build healthier relationships. We can help you discover the strengths that nourish your inner resilience - because we do believe experiences of trauma, oppression, and neglect shape you, but we also believe you have an incredible ability to heal. It is for this reason we adopted the blossoming cherry tree as a symbol of our work - it reminds us of the ways that being open to change builds resilience.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by internal feelings or external events, or need to respond to unexpected changes in your life, I will work with you to help you meet life's challenges. My practice focuses on the treatment of depression & anxiety; stress & PTSD; trauma & addiction recovery, as well as family & relationship issues. I am a licensed psychotherapist, complementary medicine practitioner, educator and clinical supervisor with specializations in treating trauma, stress and addiction.

29 years experience helping adults, couples and families understand and address the sources of conflict in their interpersonal relationships and daily professional lives. The primary therapeutic goal is to effectively manage the negative emotions (such as low self-esteem, anger, anxiety and depression) which interfere with quality of life and achievement of personal and professional goals, inclusive of LBGQT life challenges. Pets are family too and an integral part of one's life and routine. The loss of a pet can be devastating. Hence, I also offer pet bereavement counseling.

Insight is good, but change is better! If you are strugglng with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you may have been "just living with it" for awhile. Ask yourself: "How would my life be different if I didn't feel this way?" Seeking support can be a scary step, but when you are ready for change, it can be an enjoyable process, even when it is hard work or explores painful issues. We can work together to determine the best way to achieve your goals in a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental environment.

In addition to being a L.C.S.W., and holding a Ph.D in Social Work, I am a Registered Nurse. As a result of my diverse education, I am competent and experienced to treat clients with medical concerns in addition to treating other issues including lifestyle changes associated with illness, death and dying, coping skills and quality of life for self and/or family members. I also have a breadth of knowledge in the area of divorce including but not limited to coping skills for children, individuals, couples and family members.

In my 28 years working as a psychotherapist, I continue to focus on building a trusting and collaborative relationship with my patients/clients. It is my belief that all good work in therapy is based upon this foundation. I approach each session with the goals of maintaining that relationship, addressing short time issues/struggles, and looking at the underlying connections to daily events and interactions. By using this 3 pronged approach, we can understand ongoing patterns that interfere with achieving the best quality and satisfaction in one's life.

I believe that a better version of you is possible. My goal is to meet you wherever you are in your journey, and provide the structure and safety of the therapeutic environment, to determine a plan that is specific to your circumstances, and help you put that plan into action to achieve your goals. Making the effort to start and commit to therapy can be difficult to do - if you don't see progress, you can feel discouraged or even worse, hopeless. But there is hope and you do not have to do it alone.

As a psychologist, I understand that looking for the right therapist can be daunting. By focusing on past events and their impact on your life, present issues can be better understood. My goal is to help you leave my office with a clearer understanding of yourself and better equipped to deal with life's challenges. I have received training in various treatment approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapies, Trauma Focused Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and play therapy. In my approach, I keep the client's individual needs in mind, working in a safe and collaborative manner.

Making the decision to seek therapy can be challenging, but ultimately, the choice to do so represents courage, resiliency and a desire to create a more fulfilling life. I strive to provide a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment which is cultivated through a judgment-free zone.
