Reaching out and asking a professional for help is hard; you are also now one step further in your process.

Whether you have already tried therapy in the past and you feel like you're starting back at square one or this is your first time, we will build on your strengths to achieve a more enjoyable present. I have been trained in EMDR, which can be utilized to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and a number of other concerns; this treatment can provide relief at a faster pace than traditional psychotherapy if an appropriate modality.

Adults wish to improve how they communicate to their spouses, or would like to deal more effectively with problems at work and with bosses, or other authority figures. Many need help with everyday functioning, and some are struggling with confidence issues and initiative to set positive goals for the future.

Nothing in life is permanent; dealing with change and loss is inevitable. I believe that how we cope with these life transitions often defines who we are and who we will become.

If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, irritability or loneliness, you are clearly not alone, given how many therapists there are here! As a psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, I practice a powerful mindfulness-based intervention called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Often psychological pain has more to do with how we fight and judge our thoughts and feelings, and we end up in an exhausting internal struggle that we cannot win. We will work together to explore this struggle, gain distance from it, and learn skills and strategies to reduce impact and influence on your life.

Life can throw obstacles our way, and it is when we have a supportive, safe environment to help us get back on the path, that we can thrive and be the best version of ourselves.

Change and well being are possible. Relationships and circumstances of life often present challenges that overwhelm us mentally, emotionally, and physically. As a result we develop blocks in our thinking, feelings, and develop physical symptoms that cause distress and prevent us from functioning at an optimal level. I am dedicated to understanding your unique experiences and history. Together we develop a plan creating a well balanced integration between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Development of trust and the practice of mindful awareness enables self reflection, clarity of perspective and compassionate understanding of your history as it impacts present day choices.
