Sometimes our lives become so complicated and stressful that we all need an outside, non-judgmental person to help guide us back to our inner source and wisdom. My therapeutic strengths lie in my ability to create a safe and non-judgmental relationship with my clients to help them quickly identify their strengths and utilize them to problem solve and feel better. I approach all my clients with kindness and compassion, understanding that many are entering counseling for the first time or are searching for relief from stress, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, chronic pain or illness, or many of life's difficult transitions.

I look forward to providing a warmly honest, empathic space while working collaboratively with clients to deepen levels of insight and explore new, more adaptive modes of being in the world. With openness and curiosity, I am committed to psychotherapy not only as an avenue for individual growth and healing, but also, as a way of empowering individuals to connect with others, act in their lives and impact their world. My approach is psychoanalytically based, and is rooted in relational, attachment, and trauma-informed theories and practices, with a special interest in somatics, affective neuroscience, and mindfulness.

Life: ever changing and often challenging. I offer a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship where you can expand your ability to improve the quality of your life. Therapy can provide understanding, relief from suffering, and empowerment. Each person or couple benefits from therapy designed specifically for them.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with adults, seniors and family units in the outpatient and community setting. Specialties include treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and brain injury. My approach is comprehensive, individualized, and always optimistic.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these.

Couples: Are you having the same argument over and over? Do you feel like you are doing battle with your partner? Turns out, you probably are and those struggles can be used to create deep healing and connection you never thought possible.

I focus on working primarily with couples and individual adults who are dealing with trauma histories, identity/cultural issues, depression and/or anxiety.
