I understand how difficult it can be to decide to seek help for life's obstacles. In my practice, my goal is to help my clients become experts on themselves. Every end is a new beginning.

I am dedicated to getting to the root of stuck patterns. There are techniques out there!

Navigating through your day with worry or distress may feel like an uphill battle. You might often wonder, if you will ever overcome these feelings. If you will ever stop feeling so pressured, so overwhelmed, so exhausted. It might be difficult to participate in your relationships. You might feel stuck or have scary thoughts. All you want is for this pain to finally stop. Imagine if you can begin to quiet down that pain. Imagine feeling less stuck and having the space to deepen relationships. Could you see yourself challenging your thoughts and creating a new narrative?

Have you wondered if therapy can be helpful to your adolescent or young adult? I offer a complimentary phone consultation to discuss any questions you may have. You can talk to me about anything; nothing you tell me will shock or surprise me. I can help your child become their own therapist by learning techniques and coping strategies to work through the challenges in their lives. I work well with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, social issues, learning issues, attention deficit disorder, and body image issues. Clients often see a reduction in symptoms and improved well-being early on in therapy.

I have over 25 years of experience helping clients heal from anxiety, depression, grief, low self esteem, trauma, including PTSD and relational trauma, relationship challenges and self destructive tendencies. We will work together to understand how the challenges you are experiencing impact you, and how you can heal most effectively. Each client has a different way of healing, and so I customize my approach based on your individual needs. The approaches I use are trauma recovery, psychodynamic, sensorimotor, mindfulness, and AEDP among others. I am LGBTQ affirming and welcome clients of all ethnicities and cultural backgrounds.

Have you been feeling like you’re not yourself? Have you noticed a change in your mood and emotional state and perhaps don’t know what to do?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you find yourself struggling with your day-to-day activities, or just need some extra support during this time; I can help.

Perhaps, the secret to navigating life is understanding, and accepting, that life is inherently difficult. Even so, navigating those difficulties is not always so simple. As a socially conscious and strength-based clinician, I believe therapy is best approached collaboratively, looking at personal experience within cultural context. We each hold strength and wisdom to find our way through difficult and even traumatic experiences, especially with the healing power of relationship as support. Therapy can be a wonderful place to work towards deeper self understanding that translates into greater fulfillment within our lives.

As a therapist I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery and healing. Using radical acceptance and a strengths based perspective, my goal is to help patients build on existing social and emotional skills so they can navigate difficult periods in ways that promote self-esteem, growth and wellbeing. I use a variety of modalities in session including psycho-dynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, attachment theory, internal family systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP).

Hello! I help individuals from all walks of life with a variety of concerns. I help individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and alcohol concerns, grief and loss, relationship issues, obsessive compulsive disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Their goals might be practical, or more theoretical, and I often incorporate elements from my background in philosophy and music studies to help understand how concepts can help with healing. My clients want to find inner peace, and we explore different modalities to get there together.

I offer psychotherapy, consultation, supervision and coaching to individuals, couples, families and other therapists. I obtained my AM from the University of Chicago in 1995 after having a successful business career as a CPA. My extensive professional experience coupled with life experience as a wife, mother, community member, athlete and spiritual student offer my clients a rich, broad-reaching range of services to help them become their best selves.

At times in our lives we are faced with transitions, experiences, or emotions that can feel destabilizing or challenge our familiar ways of coping. Present day stressors may lead to anxiety or depression, or connect with unresolved trauma from the past. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship with clients provides the safety and connection that is key for therapy to be helpful. It is a foundation from which to explore and understand your feelings and experiences. I am active and collaborative in listening, inquiring, and guiding.

I believe in a collaborative therapy experience to assist clients in their process of self-discovery. As the cornerstone of my approach, I believe that unconditional support through the therapeutic relationship provides a strong foundation for this journey. This support is often missing from our lives and when we start to experience challenges or road blocks we can start to feel more isolated and alone. If you are feeling stuck or dissatisfied with your life starting therapy can be the first step to creating change.

My primary modalities are EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I've worked with trauma and injustice for many years, and I recognize the courage it takes to trust another person with the most vulnerable parts of yourself. In my office, I strive to provide a therapeutic space where all parts feel welcome, where you can experience something radically different and practice new and courageous ways of relating to yourself and to others. I've successfully helped teenagers, adults and couples experience healing from trauma and unresolved events, peace from anxiety and acceptance in times of grief.

In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. It’s only human to want to heal in order to function at our optimal capacity, whatever that might be for us. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

Congratulations on taking this step in seeking help and support for yourself or your family. I work with children and adolescents, families, men, and women. My 20-plus years of clinical work with children and families is built on an attachment-oriented foundation and is informed by my personal experience as an adoptive parent and training in relevant play and family therapies. Regardless of a child’s emotional/behavioral presentation or attachment (RAD) history, I view parents as partners in their child’s therapeutic process and support and guide them, in parent sessions and/or in family sessions with their child.
