I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds and can offer you a nonjudgmental space where we can work to be curious about you and develop the self discovery that can help lead you toward healing. I work with individuals, of all ages, and couples to help balance the disharmony in your life and increase your general sense of wellbeing. I understand how difficult it can be to make yourself vulnerable in this way and I hope to ease that discomfort by creating a comfortable relationship where you feel valued.

Many people feel alone even if they are in a relationship. Some struggle to develop a fulfilling connection their entire life. I believe there is hope. Whether looking to improve communication skills in your marriage, restore trust following infidelity, heal after a completed relationship or enrich a connection with others I may be able to help.

With 25+ years of success as a versatile, supportive clinical psychologist, it is my joy to now focus on working with the midlife woman. She is often encountering life experiences that impact her mental health including: physical changes, empty nest, job changes, gray divorce, retirement or caring for aging parents or children. I am passionate about supporting women who are experiencing the loneliness and isolation of living in a toxic relationship or healing from one. Also, I am fervent about helping individuals journey through life transitions, loss and grief. Midlife can be a time of awakening, new possibilities and empowerment.

I work with you in a supportive role to identify and change negative or self-defeating behavior patterns. I help you understand why you feel the way you do and suggest new ways to manage stress, relationship problems and low self-esteem. I believe accepting and loving ourselves is a key to having happier relationships and a happier life. We work as a team to help you find new solutions to problems.

I work with adults in individual and couples settings across multiple life stages and environments. I focus on working with you to understand yourself, including how your thoughts and feelings influence your behavioral responses, and how to promote healthy and empowered conversation within relationships of all types.

I believe we all are meant to live an inspired life, and with a little work, we can break through the obstacles that hinder or keep us from thriving. Sometimes those obstacles may define themselves as depression, anxiety, or obsessions. If you are feeling stuck in a routine life, if your present relationship is not moving forward, if the behavior and actions you use to cope with stress have trapped you, maybe it is time for a change. I work with individuals, couples, and marriage partners who want to reach a higher potential in their life.

I have been a therapist and counselor for over 15 years. I work with people who have a DEEP desire for change in relationship to why they are coming in for counseling. I specialize in helping people work through their personal issues such as; marriage problems, depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, mood disorders, sexual issues, communication issues, career/life coaching, parenting coaching, dysfunctional relationships, or any other behavior problems that are interfering with a normal or higher quality of life.

I am an experienced therapist (20+ years) with a private practice focusing on individual therapy and couples therapy for adults. I can help you take back your life and work towards a meaningful and happy existence. I provide counseling for men, women, and couples from all backgrounds, and create a warm and nurturing therapeutic environment. My practice includes an eclectic mix of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), therapy guided by the Gottman method, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), trauma focused therapy, and relationship dynamics, aging and elderly care.

I am currently accepting new clients. Your new life begins here! Helping you to improve your quality of life is my passion. I specialize in substance abuse, trauma, anxiety and depression; and helping individuals become more resilient to manage the challenges in their lives. I have many years of clinical, educational, and personal experience in working with clients struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, codependency and relationship issues. I am experienced in providing therapy to individuals by delivering comprehensive support and healing to those struggling with a variety of mental health issues.

Seeking help can be overwhelming, and even terrifying. Maybe you had a bad experience in the past, or maybe you never thought therapy would be for you. Regardless of what brought you to this point, I'm here for you. Reaching out is the first step. Let me help you take it from there. My scope of practice reaches beyond the counseling office, to provide practical solutions to real life challenges. I believe that you are the expert on your experiences, and I am here to support, and facilitate growth.

My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future. I specialize in offering holistic, integrated and evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, CBT and Gottman. My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply, naturally. I'm a real person with personal and professional expertise that brings compassion, flexibility and humor, when appropriate.

The issues that bring individuals to a therapist such as depression, stress, grief, or relationship issues don't feel very good. However, these very issues and the path we enter to resolve them can result in enormous opportunities for growth. I work with clients who want to learn more effective ways of relating to others, reduce depression and anxiety, become more aware of personal boundaries, and live more authentic lives in the present moment. Some of my areas of specialty are: parenting issues, relationship issues, divorce contemplation and recovery, and understanding grief and loss.

Life can throw us some curve balls, and sometimes, when trying to deal with these curve balls, we struggle to find ways to cope. For some, coping through food and/or substance use is one of the ways that people try to cope through life challenges. For others it can be isolating, self-harming, or numbing yourself to feelings all around. These coping mechanisms only work for so long, until they don't work anymore, and end up hurting you. Sometimes these maladaptive coping skills only impact you, but often times, others close to you are hurting as well... your spouse, significant other, parents, siblings, and friends.

I have an unusual background for a psychotherapist. Before I started my counseling career, I worked as a TV news reporter, an online media executive, and an adjunct college professor. This diverse experience in journalism, business, and education has given me valuable skills that I use in my counseling practice. My sense of humor is another important part of my counseling style. I take my work with clients seriously, but there are times when therapy needs to include some humor. I also offer life coaching for clients who want to make some changes but don't know where to start.
