I believe that emotional symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, are ways that our bodies and minds communicate with us. Through really listening and being present with you, I will help you explore these messages, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and heal old wounds. This process is profound in creating change, allowing you to experience more peace within yourself, live with more passion and presence, and improve the quality of your relationships. I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in clinical psychology. I have experience working with individuals of all ages who are seeking to live more full and engaged lives.

I support children, adolescents, young adults and their caregivers in growing their ability to cope and regulate with difficult life transitions, grief, challenging emotional experiences, and self exploration. I enjoy helping my clients navigate identity and grief as they continue to learn and grow, as well as support in encouraging a deeper level of understanding of who they are at their core. Having the opportunity to work together in exploration and acceptance of one's emotional experiences is a strong value of mine and I enjoy working side-by-side with clients in creating a therapeutic plan that best suits their needs.

Our approach to therapy is humanistic, nonjudgemental, and down to earth. Client-centered and solution-focused therapies are used to help people determine and tackle their goals. We approach each individual as an already whole person with the capacity to change no matter what challenges they are experiencing.

I work with clients to explore areas that need to change or improve. I believe we all carry our wisdom and answers, however, sometimes due to trauma or patterns we become stuck in what we do. One may know their behavior is unhealthy, however, may not know how to change. Finding the answers becomes the process of therapy.

You are unique in the challenges you face and in your gifts.

I will help you discover the underlying dynamics of your symptoms and patterns in ways that allow you to transform them. Rather than merely "fixing" a problem or “fixing” yourself, you will learn how to listen to and tend what troubles you.

I am a relationship therapist. Whether you are working on your relationship with yourself, your romantic partner or your friends and family, we will work to identify and gain insight into your patterns and work for you to connect authentically and deeply with those you love.

If you're feeling stuck in your life or relationships, change is possible. Sometimes, even though there is much love in a relationship, people can't connect. Distance and resentment can grow, making loving and healthy communication impossible. Families can have similar dynamics, people don't feel heard, understood, or valued. These most important connections can break down and the family doesn't function in a way that works for everyone. These issues can intesify in the face of trauma, divorce, or the diagnosis of special needs in children. In these intense times people need support so they can grow, individually and together.

* I am no longer accepting new clients* I believe the most profound change occurs within relationships. Whether that be the therapeutic relationship, a relationship with yourself, a partner, parent, child, or family member, relationships in all their forms have the ability to foster new ways we see and interact with ourselves and others. While relationships impact us, they do not define us. Each individual carries the strength within them to make the change they wish to see.

Working to improve relationships, sex, intimacy, sexuality and gender identity to enhance quality of life. I strive to create a safe and accepting space to explore and discover an authentic lifestyle within these aspects of life. Through a sex positive approach, the goal is to reduce shame and enhance authenticity. Beginning with the exploration with relationship to self, my clients are able to enhance their relationships with others. Challenging the messages, beliefs and values family and societal has created allows for clients to learn and create their own narrative for the life that aligns with them.
