Hi and welcome! Therapy is a powerful and life changing force and the therapist client fit is the most important element in making therapy worthwhile and effective. Most clients who seek therapy with me are working through relationship issues (either old wounds from family of origin or current relationship issues), loneliness, parenting adjustments or struggles, loss, divorce or separation, connection challenges or relationship betrayal.

Do you feel that you are struggling to find happiness in your life? Do you find yourself constantly dealing with dilemmas around your physical health, your relationships, loss, loneliness, or transitions in your life? You are not alone in dealing with these issues. I believe that we all find ourselves struggling with life's dilemmas as we grow and develop as individuals, regardless of age. Many events and circumstances we experience may result in feelings of sadness, anxiety, distance from others, or a loss of meaning in our lives. I am here to help you find hope, make changes, and rediscover your life's energy and purpose again.

I utilize an integrated and holistic approach to therapy that is grounded in relational-cultural theory (RCT). I aim to understand and address the ways in which a client’s presenting concerns manifest in their mind, body, and spirit. I believe that clients come to me already holding the answers and guidance they are looking for and it is my role to help empower them to connect with their inner knowing. I encourage clients to increase mindfulness and emotional awareness to help them become an intentional creator of their experiences. I aim to help clients let go of shame and develop self-compassion.

I naturally work from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective and feel that collaboration and rapport are key components in the therapeutic process. My goal is to help clients heal and flourish in their lives. Through deeper emotional exploration, things that seem to keep getting us "stuck" can be examined and worked through, resulting in true healing and change. In our sessions, I work with my clients in exploring thoughts, emotions, experiences, relationships, behaviors, etc. and together we work towards a healthier and happier life.

Are you struggling with recent personal or societal events, past or present traumas or losses, life transitions, or general life stressors? Do you need help navigating how to deal with these things in a productive, meaningful, or healthy way? Then you have come to the right place and I am happy you are here. We can expect to experience at least one or all of the above issues at some point in our lives, but we are not expected to endure them alone. I enjoy helping people who are struggling with grief, anxiety, boundaries, life transitions, & illness to name a few; while providing a warm, safe space for you to be authentic and heard.

Welcome! I am passionate about helping midlife women overcome emotional eating and make pethrough the life challenges that are unique to us. MyMy clients describe me as genuine, curious, and kind, but direct and even gently challenging when it’s helpful. They say that after some time in therapy with me, they can hear my voice during difficult times, reminding them of what we have talked about. Sometimes therapy can be intense, so I try to lighten it up when I can.

Are you struggling with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or a painful past that is affecting your life now? Or is something else interfering with your ability to be happy - and you need help making sense of it?

I'm a Kink Aware Professional and believe that relationships and sex are building blocks to our lives no matter in what form they come. I have experience working with a variety of sexual and relational issues and have worked with people from varying backgrounds, from BDSM to open marriage.

Making the decision to begin counseling can be difficult and finding a therapist that is a good match can be equally overwhelming. I work to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment to make it easier to start the process. Everyone enters therapy at a different place, and I work to meet clients where they are. My approach is primarily relational because the quality of the client-therapist relationship can serve as the catalyst for change.

We all go through life struggles, which we are not able to handle on our own. Therapy is a very helpful tool to get the help and guidance that you, your family or typical support network may not be able to provide. My job as a psychotherapist is to work collaboratively with clients to help you heal and grow. My approach is gentle and direct, and while I have confidence in my knowledge about therapy, I treat every client as an individual and learn from every person who works with me. My clients would say they trust my intuition, pay close attention, tell them the truth and empower them with ongoing effective strategies for healing.

I can help you get happy and become extraordinary. Most of my clients have what I describe as a "fulfillment deficit". They are often seen as people who have it all, but they just don't feel happy. My clients are unique individuals with unique needs. They are HNW/UHNW, professionals, entertainers, actors, therapists, professional athletes, politicians, power couples, and others who require an extra level of privacy, confidentiality, and discretion. They find themselves surrounded by "yes people", so the directness and honesty of our work together is a refreshing change.

People come to see me for lots of different reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a crippling addiction. Some are having difficulty in their relationships with others. Some are going through a difficult time - a mid life crisis, the loss of a job or a loved one, or a frightening medical diagnosis. Most are tired of repeating unconscious patterns that were learned long ago that continue to be played out in spite of their best efforts. All are seeking a happier, healthier life and a way to achieve that. Psychotherapy is the best place to invest in oneself and work toward these goals.

I believe that all individuals, couples and families are capable of working towards positive change. I respect and appreciate the unique nature of my clients' circumstances in life. As a therapist, I bring a very creative approach into the sessions. In the first session with clients, a unique plan of development begins to emerge.

I have over 18 years experience working with clients who are overloaded from the stress of daily life, school, work and family obligations. When life seems to be weighing you down and you can't come up for air, then I am here to help bring clarity and peace. My goal is to provide a calm and creative setting that nurtures the resilience everyone has inside them. We all have strength and the ability to cope, I am here to help you see that in yourself. I believe that humor, when appropriate, and warmth go a long way in building relationships with clients.

Life does not have to hurt. You deserve to be happy. If you are stressed, in pain or feel as if you cannot even bear another day, I can help you navigate these feelings, find solutions and offer a path forward. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. I believe in you. Let us work together to activate your agency and help you work through anything that's holding you back. Self-care is not indulgent; it is essential to our well-being.

If you're ready to leave behind the overwhelm of all that's not serving you and move instead toward relief and a more value-driven life, let's get started. I'm here to support your quest toward improved mood, sense of self, psychological sturdiness, and active self-nourishment. I'm a strengths-based therapist specializing in working with concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem/relationship to self, burnout, and stressful life transitions. I approach emotional health from a holistic lens with an understanding of the mind-body connection and earnest attention paid to cultural and identity factors.
