As a therapist, I believe that a person is more than just the sum of their experiences. Each one of us is made up of our unique thoughts, emotions and ideas. I have devoted my career to finding ways of honoring who you are, as well as who you want to become. My clients range from children to adults, and my special interests are with teens, parents and families. I am clinically trained to help individuals and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, conflicts and grief. My style is direct, non-judgmental and supportive, as we work together to create a treatment plan that uniquely fits your needs.
My specialties include problem-solving, trauma, blended family issues and teen concerns. I am one of few practitioners in the area trained in Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), a revolutionary technique clinically proven to solve the most challenging issues in your home. I also have training in EMDR and FLASH, evidence-based treatments for complex trauma.
I know that our lives get busy, so I offer flexible scheduling options, including weekend, to help make therapy more possible. Please know that you are not defined by your troubles, and that help is out there. Your story is valuable, and so are you. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or trauma related to their experiences, including family or relationship issues. During initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most clients see their symptoms lift gradually at first, and steadily improve long-term.

I often use trauma-informed methods, such as EMDR, in combination with Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my practice. During your first session, we'll explore what brought you to treatment, and make a plan together about how to begin addressing this. During treatment, we'll tailor a personalized plan to address your symptoms through healing and creating an adaptive sense of self .
