I am passionate about helping people meet the goals they have for their life. We all feel pressures in life and often are unsure of which choice(s) to make to travel down the path we desire. Therapy can serve as a recognition of the road map designed for our journey in life. Together we can explore your goals and build insight into patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back from making healthy changes.

Some mornings the weight is there before your feet hit the floor. Other days it's quieter — a flatness under everything, a joy that used to come easy. You can't always name where it started, and it doesn't need an origin story to be real.
I work with individuals carrying anxiety and depression, whatever set it in motion, plus couples and families working through relationship strain and conflict. Thirteen years in this room has taught me people rarely need fixing — they need room to become who they already are.
New clients: register on my website; my intake coordinator will follow up.

Men, when you find yourself shutting down or blowing up, it’s often a sign that something deeper needs your attention. The pressure builds, conversations stall, and life starts feeling more like survival than connection. You care about the people in your life and the work you do, but the harder you try to hold it all together, the more distant it can feel. I help men slow down, recognize what’s real, and create change from the inside out. My approach is grounded and direct and you can be fully honest here. My role is to help you explore what’s underneath without judgment.

THERAPY: I hear so much negativity in our field about work with people. But - I am amazed by some of the people that step foot into my office. I am in awe of their ability to smile through pain. I feel blessed that I get to share in their strong, resilience and desire to grow and change. I learn so much from them. I’m also frustrated with societies message that emotions like anger, resentfulness and jealousy are abnormal for us to feel. Sometimes they interfere with other parts of our life. These people that I encounter on a day-to-day basis are amazing, beautiful people. To all of them I say-

You’re trying so hard to keep it together, but it still feels like you’re one unexpected moment away from being totally overwhelmed. The kind that doesn’t pass quickly—it lingers, drains you, and makes it hard to feel like yourself again. Or maybe you’re a parent, trapped in constant mental gymnastics: “Is this normal?” “How do I help without making it worse?” You’re carrying all of it while making dinner, answering emails, and acting like you’re fine. It’s a lot and you’ve been doing your best. I see you, and you don’t have to do this alone anymore. Together we can trade “white-knuckling” it for real change that actually lasts.

Therapy is a deeply personal journey with overarching goals that typically include improving mental health, healing trauma, developing healthier communication in relationships, or learning useful coping strategies to manage difficult times. Motivators often focus on addressing barriers to happiness, such as feeling stuck, overwhelmed, stressed out, emotionally scattered, or out of control, all of which can result in self doubt, anxiety, depression, & increased isolation. I often meet clients during the hardest times they've known, yet the resiliency & motivation to grow despite life's curveballs amazes me every time.

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
