"Must life be a constant struggle for those that "want it all?" At work we need to produce results and make the "right" impression while simultaneously being a "team player". At home, we need to provide for the ones we care for and still find time to be sexy, surprising, and supportive to our spouses. We do it all and yet a part of us still feels like something is... missing. I am a warm, nurturing therapist and my goal is to create a safe, relaxed space where you can feel comfortable exploring your most vulnerable and most sincere self. "

"Disorders such as depression and anxiety are often complicated by substance abuse, and vice versa. I'm experienced in treating such co-occurring disorders and other issues in a supportive, open and effective way that respects clients' autonomy and values. What this means in practice is a customized approach to each individual, based on their specific needs, that draws on different therapeutic traditions and techniques. These may include psychodynamic, looking at close early relationships and issues; cognitive-behavioral therapy, untangling connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors; mindfulness, drawing on ancient mind-body practices such as meditation that neuroscience has increasingly validated; as well as others."

"We all have a natural resilience to heal from trauma, loss, and unexpected setbacks, however stories created about who we are can get in the way. They tell us we are not good enough, that we will fail, that we are not safe. They disconnect us from others, the world around us, and the goals we seek, they wreak havoc in our bodies. Together, we will partner to make sense of and transform these stories, allowing for growth and connection. I believe that even our adversities can be a source of strength and an opportunity to better ourselves."
