"Are you ready for change? I can help. Overcoming anxiety on your own can be challenging. Life is hard at times - pain, disappointment, and loss are inevitable. Our past can be impacting our personal and professional lives. Each stage of our lives presents us with new challenges & opportunities for growth and expansion. In a supportive environment, my clients feel comfortable exploring themselves, to feel connected and understood. This allows my clients to unburden themselves of the things they have been carrying around, to learn more about themselves, imagine a better life, and try out new ways of being & doing. "

"Is your marriage headed for divorce? Are you tired of constantly fighting and feeling misunderstood? Have you been holding onto past hurts and pain? Are you dissatisfied with your sex life? Many couples long to experience deep intimacy with their partner, but do not see it as possible. Instead, they settle for cold, conflicted, loveless marriages and often stay just for the kids."

"Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life stress, trauma--all can be overwhelming and hard to sort through on your own. As an experienced licensed psychologist, I can help you address these problems effectively. Using mindfulness and other evidence-based therapy approaches, I'll help you regain control and satisfaction in your life. In therapy we will collaborate in a supportive and caring way to identify your goals, develop an effective treatment plan, and move you to that better, more joyful place in life."

"Psychotherapy is the practice of talking things through with a skilled and trusted professional. Conversation lays out a frame of reference for solving problems in one's personal life and eases emotional pain. For anyone who seeks therapy, there is a desire to improve communication, to be better understood and connect with others. Finding the courage to change the way to communicate more effectively can be difficult. Unavoidably, there are times when we lose our way, have misunderstandings, or struggle with doubts about our own capabilities. An experienced therapist can help us find solutions to problems and relief from pain in a nonjudgmental atmosphere."

"Experiencing anxiety, emotional pain, feeling stuck, or feeling directionless at times are all very normal human experiences. Creating a warm and trusting environment where you can feel safe, listened to, and understood is vital for me to understand how you experience your pain in your own unique way. For over ten years I have used this style of treatment to flexibly and creatively tailor components from multiple evidence-based practices, including those that are cognitive- and acceptance-based, to create a therapeutic experience that best fits each individual and their own unique needs."

"Are you looking to find harmony and intimacy while increasing communication in your interpersonal relationships? I am an active listener and I want to help you process your tough issues while giving you feedback on what to do outside of the therapy relationship. I can help you implement and maintain lasting change in your everyday life. I use humor, warmth and empathy to engage every person who walks through my door and I want nothing more than for you to feel at home and comfortable as you work hard toward emotional healing. "

"Something isn't working in your relationship. Maybe the conflict is leaving you hurt or hopeless. Or there's been an affair, and you can't get back to normal. Perhaps you're an entrepreneur, and the stress of the business is poisoning the relationship. You might even be on the brink of calling it quits-unsure if you really want to stay or go. It can be easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. I offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a research-based and goal-oriented approach to reducing conflict, improving communication, rebuilding trust and intimacy, and healing your relationship."

Are you looking to find a healthy balance between yourself, your partner, parenthood, your work? These are all things that most people experience sometime in their lives.

"Has the weight of the world become too heavy? We are not meant to carry it alone. I became a therapist to help others navigate the transitions, challenges, and torrential storms of their lives, just as I learned to do in my own life. The client-therapist relationship is sacred. I pride myself on the strong connection of trust and compassion I have with my clients, so that our work is meaningful and successful. I hope you look forward to sessions and enjoy having a nonjudgmental outlet to call your own."

"Life can seem like an exhausting or impossible challenge at times, especially when we face issues with separation, divorce, infidelity, childhood trauma, blended families, health, transitions, addiction, grief and identity/faith crises. These events can bring about tremendous pain and confusion. I can help you enjoy a vibrant life in the present moment, instead of feeling stuck in the past or feeling fearful about the future. Overcoming depression, anxiety, anger, frustration, numbness and a host of other dark emotions can lead to hope, joy, peace and healthier relationships."

"We all have periods of time in our lives where we experience struggle. The pain of feeling that we are unworthy of love and belonging and the constant comparison between ourselves and others can make daily life difficult. We all need someone who will listen, validate and be a part of our many emotions depending on what's happening in our lives. I feel that everyone is capable of finding and maintaining the best version of ourselves when we take the time to examine the barriers in our own lives."

"Finding the right therapist can be a difficult and overwhelming process. There seems to be an endless array of choices, and it's so important to find the right fit for you. In order to help make this process easier, I offer and encourage you to interview me over the phone, and I will be happy to answer any questions about therapy or the therapeutic process. I am skilled in working with individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues using an individualized approach. I have been in practice since 1990 and have extensive inpatient and outpatient experience."

"Whether it's life challenges, obstacles or transitions that are prompting you to seek counseling, today you are one step closer to your personal journey of growth and healing. Fear of change is natural, but can prevent us from letting go of old beliefs, behaviors, ways of being and situations that are no longer beneficial to our wellbeing."

"Clients that I work with are often in a place in life where they feel unseen, unheard, and disconnected. Therapy with me is a deeply connected and collaborative process. My goals are to establish trust and create a non-judgmental space in which my patients can feel truly seen and heard. I work to understand my clients from many contexts - there are so many layers to you and I value getting to know you from all perspectives - social, economic, racial, generational, and cultural."

"I work with people who have experienced trauma - this can mean anything from trauma that comes from difficult relationships, to PTSD, war, sexual abuse, accidents, surgeries, and less-than-ideal childhoods. My somatic training also provides expertise in helping those with chronic illness or pain and how this is related to mental health. With pre-marital couples, my focus is on fostering closeness in order to build more security and enjoyment together. I also have expertise in helping couples with infidelity issues."

"I believe we all thrive on healthy connections with others. Sometimes we need help repairing and facilitating our relationships. Sometimes we need to clarify what is working and not working in our lives. I offer an environment where motivated couples and individuals are able to freely express themselves, while gaining insight into their lives. I have a particular interest in working with people experiencing a Cancer Diagnosis, including partners, family members and caregivers. I am willing to help process the complicated emotions and feelings accompanying this illness."
