"I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples who are going through transitions, experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and/or who are troubled by substance abuse. I also see many people who have chronic syndromes such as autoimmune disorders. I have a collaborative approach and a conversational style, and provide a safe and confidential place where people can share their story. I see psychotherapy as an opportunity to develop greater self awareness and skills to improve relationships, and to enhance coping and decision making skills so that they are in keeping with the client's values and goals."

"I specialize in helping people cope with challenging life transitions, especially as related to difficult emotional situations, physical health or medical conditions. Some transitions, such as the birth of a child, are joyous, but still trying. Other transitions, like diagnosis of an illness or disability, can be frightening, necessitating reevaluation of life choices and daily routines. It's common to feel overpowered by questions about the future, but you may need skilled help to face the big questions and work out manageable solutions. I can help you reduce anxiety, fear, anger, or depression, and move towards productivity, happiness, and acceptance."

"Life is demanding. Everyone experiences times in life when they feel overwhelmed, hurt, or unsure. Major events and everyday stressors can affect every aspect of our being leading to a state of dis-ease. Relationships are challenging. When couples feel distant and/or are fighting, communication and connection can seem impossible. Having someone to listen, understand, and support you without judgement can be the beginning of your journey toward well-being. My goal as your therapist is to get to know you (or you and your partner), build trust, provide empathy in a safe space, and help to empower you to achieve your goals. "
