Most people seek my help for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck. Anxiety can be caused by such things as illness, sexual and/or physical abuse, relationship problems, career disappointments or trauma experienced in childhood. The world generally does not feel safe for someone who is experiencing anxiety. Depression is often a result of feeling powerless to create possibilities for personal growth and happiness. Negative self talk co-exists with depression coloring what one does with a sense of not being good enough. I can help you discover new perspectives and possibilities empowering you to create the life you want.

I work with individuals, couples and families. I have been very successful guiding people through anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, couples conflict, family dynamic challenges. I work with people who are journeying through their recovery, helping them to examine their triggers. The key is always in the patient who has the courage to be open to finding out who they truly are. I consider myself blessed and privileged to work in this field and to be invited into the lives of others in order to assist them in having a better life.

I have 42 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families for a wide range of problems including depression, anxiety, relationship, job and school difficulties, loss, trauma and lifestyle changes. I have extensive psychodynamic training and my therapeutic orientation is a synthesis of this background with cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and relational approaches. My work emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual and the belief that therapy is a collaborative process. With empathy, compassion, yet objectivity, I strive to help people gain/regain a positive sense of self and lead more productive, gratifying lives in their relationships and in their work.

In my private practice, I utilized a multi-modal approach including DBT, CBT, basic EMDR, family systems therapy as well as other techniques. I tailor all of my sessions to the client needs and modes of expression whether that is verbal, narrative or through play. I welcome clients from all walks of life who seek assistance in overcoming their obstacles to become the best that they can be.

I believe that a person seeking treatment is generally having trouble with either handling emotions or with dealing with a significant person in his life. As we collaborate, patients gain insight into how their history gets acted out in relationships. They experience relief of symptoms that are tied to early messages that invalidated their feelings. In working with children and their parents or couples, my goal is to facilitate more effective conflict resolution through creating safety in their interactions and an increased ability to truly hear each other on a "feelings" level. My style is very interactive.

I am here to support, guide, & help you navigate through life's struggles. I started my career as a Student Assistance Counselor to help children/adolescents navigate their school career, address mental health issues, & cope with daily life. I believe there is no one else that understands you better than you! Therefore, I enjoy working alongside my clients in the treatment process in an environment of non-judgmental understanding. I use a combination of therapies, including person-centered, solution focused, CBT, & trauma informed therapy.
