Life can be a challenging journey. How are you at navigating the bumps in the road? Do you have the skills you need? Are you feeling disappointed in yourself and often frustrated with others? Is it challenging for you to express your needs in ways that you feel heard? When you are upset or frustrated, have you pushed others away, sabotaging relationships? Is it difficult to set and achieve goals? Understandably, frustrations intensify when efforts are unsuccessful. If you have thought "life will get easier when ..." and you are still waiting at a long red light, let's talk.

Depending on your situation, I'll utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems therapy (IFS), EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Hypnotherapy, coaching, and/or brain retraining techniques to help you move forward, break free, connect, get to the next level, become more fulfilled, and ultimately feel more peaceful—more like your true self.
If you’re looking for a safe space where you can be heard by an empathetic therapist who's experienced, look no further—that’s me. I provide virtual couple counseling and adult therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, work stress, and health issues. We'd be a good fit for therapy if you're ready to commit to meeting regularly and open to examining your concerns (and life) in new ways. I believe most people have what they need to overcome their issues, but they may need a shift in perspective or support through change.

My 40 plus years in the mental health field have been shaped by my work in two major areas: thirty years working in a psychiatric hospital, and my on-going private practice . These two defining experiences have brought to me an awareness of the enormous resiliency of the human spirit and mind and of the capacity for everyone to achieve change in their lives. Sometimes the change is massive, sometimes it is less major, but not necessarily less important. Sometimes that change may require developing a whole new perspective on life or relationships, while at others it may only involve looking at a problem from a different angle.
