Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life? Are you feeling stuck in a relationship, job or an old pattern of behavior? Do you find yourself swept up in emotions such as anger, disappointment or anxiety? Many people come to me when they feel at a loss and have a desire to numb, withdraw or act out. Seeking support is the first step toward feeling better. I enjoy working with individuals who find it difficult managing their anxiety and stress leading to feelings of anger and isolation, or having trouble in relationships due to an inability to communicate their internal experience.

I'm passionate about working with people who are finding life to be overwhelming and exhausting. Maybe you're heartbroken over loss, burdened with guilt, feeling you'll never be good enough, are scared, or at wits' end. Or maybe something happened to you, and it sticks with you giving you no rest. When we feel this way, we tend to isolate, berate ourselves, and spiral in our thinking or distract ourselves from these debilitating feelings. You're not alone. These feelings and responses are common, and there are evidence-based treatments to help you take the helm and steer your own ship in life.

I love working with and helping people to live happier lives. In my years of experience working in the counseling field, I have assisted many people who struggle to function in their daily lives either because of a new hurdle or a life-long, mental health condition. Sometimes a person may feel hopeless, stuck, or unable to identify what holds them back. Other times, the client is in a new area of life that is unfamiliar or seems too intimidating to navigate. I strive to offer a compassionate, introspective, and collaborative setting where clients can feel free to explore the barriers that keep them from living their best lives.

It's ok to ask for help. It's true that I can't erase your past or instantly take away your pain (although I wish I could). However, I can help you carry your burdens more lightly, whether that means adjusting to major life transitions, processing grief, or learning new ways of coping with anxiety. Additionally, I have expertise in health-related issues and enjoy working with clients around eating concerns, chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, etc.) and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can offer you a new perspective and help you overcome emotional challenges. Therapy is your time to feel supported and understood.

I believe that coming to therapy when your life is not proceeding in the way you wish is a courageous and important step in building the life you want. Although it is sometimes difficult or frightening to make that first phone call, it's a strong sign of your belief in yourself and your desire to live fully and joyfully. I respect the decision to begin therapy and understand that it's sometimes a hard step that requires great courage. I firmly believe that however you're feeling now, there is a capacity for healing, change, and joy within you.

The Authentic Self radiates divine, healing energy, and innate wisdom. It is our source of loving, compassionate energy that heals all dis-ease in our bodies, minds, and emotions. Some aspects of your Authentic Self include compassion, clarity, confidence, courage, patience, persistence, perspective, playfulness, gratitude, and curiosity. My intention, with profound curiosity, is to help you reconnect to your Authentic Self and rediscover the answers already within you, which may help ease your pain and suffering. I offer individual and group therapy (Eating Disorders/Women), as well as SoulCollage(R) workshops.

I personally do not have an ideal client. In fact, all clients are ideal clients to me. My main mission in therapy is to understand the client and meet them where they are. Once understanding is achieved, I believe, I am able to do what I am best at, which is helping people be the controllers and drivers of their destinies.

I am trained in cognitive behavioral and psychoanalytic treatment modalities and consider psychotherapy as both an opportunity to address and reduce suffering, and to engage in a process of personal education. My practice focuses on patients who are seeking an alliance in addressing their concerns and suffering as well as patients who are seeking and willing to re-learn and engage in self-exploration toward the ends of better adjustment, understanding and awareness.

Taking the first step may be the hardest, but you’ll feel so much better when you do. And I’m here to help! I am a dedicated, experienced therapist who is passionate about my work. I help couples navigate their way through troubling times and improve the quality of their relationship. Poor communication, betrayal, feelings of disconnect and living parallel lives, are just a few of the issues couples bring to therapy. You can learn new ways to relate to one another, actively problem solve, and discover what each of you need to feel loved and cared for in your relationship. You both deserve a happy partnership!

Like a butterfly emerging into life, a child requires safety, care, and attunement.

***NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** My overarching approach is Relationship-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I find that integrating CBT with key therapeutic relationship factors such as validation, empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness produce the best outcomes. When appropriate, I also utilize such approaches as mindfulness, acceptance, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills, and Trauma-Focused CBT and Prolonged Exposure for trauma. My goal is to not only reduce the distress from your presenting problems but also improve your overall well-being and experience personal growth across many facets of life.

As a licensed therapist I enjoy helping a wide range of individuals facing a variety of challenges make meaningful life changes. I have worked with a culturally diverse population of all ages and most enjoy working with adults, ages 19-90. My style combines empathy, warmth, humor and compassion in a judgment-free, strengths-based environment. I believe a strong and collaborative client-therapist relationship is essential in creating a safe space for change.
