My clients tell me I have a unique ability to take something that feels very "big" in their life and make it feel manageable. Because I have a strong belief in the power and resilience of the human spirit, I work to assist my clients accessing their own strengths and support them in moving forward by helping to identify their options. I offer a unique perspective for my clients because I am both a licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Life Coach.

I believe that one of the most important aspects of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. I feel that my role as a therapist is to create an environment of trust and support in which my clients can safely explore areas of concern. Using a positive approach to therapy, I work with my clients to uncover their existing strengths and resources. My goal is to help them feel understood and affirmed, as I believe acceptance is fundamental to human development and change.

I am very passionate and devoted to helping adults, adolescents and families find a peaceful and empowering path to a greater quality of life. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior and Trauma Therapy. The use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is to strike a balance between validation (acceptance) of who you are, your challenges and the benefits of working towards change in “creating a life worth living”. I believe in treating the whole person (mind, body, soul) and the importance of understanding the messages we receive from our body, function of emotions and thoughts.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in children, adolescents and their families who are going through difficult times in their lives-depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, divorce reaction, and behavioral problems. What I love about the work I do is that, although I see people at some of the hardest times in their lives, as we work together, they find the skills, strength and desire to grow and change.

I work predominately with adolescents and their families as well as adults and couples. I work with motivated but stuck clients who have/ are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I focus on the impact of these as well as other stressors and where the individual and/or family and couples' system is becoming fixed and unbudgeable.

Once again you’re going to bed emotionally drained and unable to quiet the internal dialogue “you didn’t do enough today”, “you’re not enough”. You feel stuck and doubt your value and effort as a mother, a wife, daughter, or sister. You feel disconnected from the woman you once were or the woman you hope to be. Going through the same cycles over and over again. You are an observer of your own life and the weight of the internal struggle and pain is no longer tolerable. You have neglected your needs so severely, you can barely look at your reflection in the mirror without a gutting sense of disappointment, guilt, regret and shame.
