“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin. Liberation and transcendence —getting your power back, finding your spark; these are at the core of my practice. My approach holds a reflective space to process stuck zones, and traces connections to draw insights that inform needs to meet with specific tools and strategies towards creating opportunities. It’s grounded on the existential, the arts, and sociocultural dynamics, while implementing research and assessment to guide unique, individualized treatments to align identity, purpose, and connection.

Hello! What if you woke up tomorrow and all your difficulties disappeared? Though hard to imagine, envisioning how you'd like your life to be is the first step in finding solutions. After hearing your story, I focus on strengths (in individuals and couples), and help you see the possibilities for positive change. This can be difficult for anxious or depressed clients, but I find it a good start. I embrace the role of authentic, non-judgmental collaborator. I use techniques that can immediately reduce anxiety, and I show clients that depression is treatable.

Psychotherapy is about building relationships. In seeking a therapist, it's important to find one who "gets you"; is able to understand your unique way of relating to the world and to others in your life. My goal is to be accepting of who you are, to help you better understand patterns in your life that are holding you back. I seek to create an environment where you can develop trust, feel safe, respected, cared for. Psychotherapy can be scary and requires a commitment on the part of both the therapist and the client. Although the road is sometimes painful, we travel through it together.

I specialize in working with youth, young adults, and their families to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be in terms of their roles as students and the many identities they are taking on as they grow and develop. I use neuropsychology to establish habits that provide a baseline for managing stress and regulating energy. I apply CBT and other evidence-based practices to support mood management and develop the mindset necessary to achieve goals, and mindfulness and relaxation strategies to sustain behavior change. I facilitate advocacy with schools to reinforce behavior change in a supportive environment.

It is natural to encounter challenges beyond our understanding and ability to manage that induce stress, anxiety and depression. We may have reached a puzzling crossroads in life, we may be in conflict with ourselves and others, or we may want more harmony and direction in our lives. We may have been deeply wounded or traumatized in childhood. Sometimes all we know is we feel anxious, depressed, or something is missing or wrong. Psychotherapy offers powerful approaches to these issues, and the transformation we seek comes naturally from a genuine, healthy human relationship with a skilled, compassionate psychotherapist.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
