Are you going through a life transition or have anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? Whatever your reason(s) for entering therapy, I will work with you to find your way forward. As a psychodynamic therapist, I'll help you to get to the roots of issues, so you can begin to shift outworn mindsets and habits to help you move towards the person you want to be and having the kind of life and relationships you want to have. Therapy offers a safe space to gain new insights, perspectives and tools, for your own growth and self-empowerment. I see myself as your companion and guide in therapy.

In my psychotherapy practice I strive to form a partnership with my clients to guide them through the process of change and personal growth. I work to establish a therapeutic relationship that is built on a foundation of trust and openness. I work collaboratively with each client to identify their unique issues and create strategies to help the client achieve a better life. Please contact me to discuss how we can work together.

I work with adults from college through retirement who are experiencing anxiety, depression, loss and grief, career and life transitions, and other stressors. I am a warm, inspiring presence ready to partner with you with a style that is both intuitive and solution focused. I am client centered and can help you clarify issues; work through long-standing problems; develop strategies for living with more fulfillment; become a more effective communicator, and less self-critical. I also work with clients experiencing unexplained infertility, hoarding disorder, and chronic insomnia. I currently do telephone or video sessions.

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try..." If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or having difficulties in your interpersonal relationships I offer more than 30 years of clinical experience and a creative therapeutic approach.

You will have the opportunity to focus on areas of strength to foster growth, gain personal empowerment, and create life shifts.

Welcome, you have just taken a step closer to living the life that you want for yourself! When life challenges are greater than the skills and support that we have, personal problems erupt. I believe that human suffering is an inherent part of life. I am committed to helping people overcome life challenges and achieve greater life satisfaction.

You may be seeking psychotherapy because something in your life is not going the way you would like. It could be troublesome relationships, depression, anxiety or general dissatisfaction. No matter the specific problem, it is my goal to help you understand why you are experiencing troublesome symptoms or challenges. Then we can get you back to feeling better, reaching personal goals and enjoying fulfilling relationships.

My style is relational and humanistic and my goal is to help each client tap into and achieve his/her true potential. I work interactively with clients to help foster clarity about what is truly desired and help to identify and modify problematic patterns and themes that stand in the way of increased self, life and relationship satisfaction. Growth, change and helping clients move toward their own vision of peace, fulfillment and happiness is always the goal. I take a holistic approach to psychological wellness and honor the client's work life, family traditions, sexual orientation, cultural & spiritual beliefs.

My clinical work emphasizes the whole person by integrating the neurobiological, psychological, physical, social and spiritual aspects of life. My practice focuses on helping clients achieve a more centered, balanced life by giving them the tools needed to grow within life's challenges. I work with adults struggling with everyday life difficulties in relationships, depression, anxiety, unresolved issues from the past, trauma, loss and grief; couples who are working to improve their relationship skills in areas of communication, anger management, trust and intimacy; families challenged by the transitions, losses and letting goes unique to each family's life cycle.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you have trouble staying focused, concentrating, functioning normally? Most people that seek out my expertise do because they're either in crisis or struggling, and within a few sessions, they are feeling more in control, more peaceful, and more aware of their capabilities to manage their lives and relationships better.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am extensively trained to work with individuals of every age and stage of development, along with additional specialized training for couples and families. I apply a systemic perspective and strength-based and resilience approach with clients, while blending evidence-based theory into practice. I work with life stage transitions, marital satisfaction and intimacy issues, high conflict, anxiety, depression, divorced or remarried or blended families, anger management, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, multi-cultural communication, stress management, family of origin issues, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, spiritual development, and work/life balance.

For over 15 years I have worked with children, teens and adults managing difficulties with social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. The diverse experience with each age has given me insight to share in the therapy room with you. I address each challenge with great care and energy to help move toward growth with you or your child to find understanding and greater ways of coping, being in relationships and thriving.

Is it hard to separate the impact of your personal life on your career, and vice versa? If so, you're not alone. This is why I specialize in both work and personal challenges, including career focus/change, relationships, & work-life balance. I listen non-judgmentally to understand your perspective, and offer career & life coaching expertise to support your goals. Contact me today for a free 10-minute introductory phone call, or a full 45-minute or one-hour session.

Going through changes? Some are easier to navigate than others. Often experiences and patterns can limit your response to challenges and keep you stuck in unsatisfying relationships and situations. Together, in a safe and supportive environment, we can examine what has been working well for you and how your life might change by responding differently. We can work together to make the next stage of your life more fulfilling, empowering, and satisfying.

You can live a happier more meaningful life. Right now you may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed by daily challenges and stressors. Maybe anxiety is making it difficult to work, perform, or feel comfortable in social settings. Perhaps you are having trouble with relationships-unable to communicate, feel close, or find someone who really understands you

My preference is to work with adults and couples, and to meet them where they are emotionally. From there we explore what their struggles are in their daily lives, the pain that brings them into my office, and typically use insight and a focus on their past conflicts and hurts to bring peace and resolution into their present lives.
