At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully.

I believe that therapy should be driven by the individual. I work to empower individuals to create the change they want to see in their lives, promote healing, and strengthen relationships. I believe the most important indicator of success is a trusting and supportive relationship with the therapist. I know that finding a therapist that meets your needs can be overwhelming. I am happy to provide a free phone consultation for any potential clients to see if we might be a good match. Please email me to inquire more about services or set up a consultation. I am also able to provide clinical supervision to any LLMSW clinicians.

Unfortunately, I am unable to take new referrals at this time. There are times life overwhelmingly challenged us and we somehow prevailed. However, our thoughts, emotions, or bodies somehow became stuck in the aftermath of it all. For you, this may look like always feeling down, constantly on edge, or numbing life's pain away. You're my ideal client if you’re someone who feels stuck - like one part of you wants to change yet another is not budging. Whether it's recent stress or a traumatic experience, you're looking to find a different way to change.

Overwhelmed with parenthood? Struggling to understand your child’s behavior? Dealing with postpartum depression? You probably imagined parenthood looking quite different. There is no easy fix for managing anxiety surrounding pregnancy, the postpartum period, or infant/early childhood challenges. There is no instruction manual to open when your child is struggling with anxiety, behavioral challenges, or a developmental delay. Your parental instinct is simply to help your baby get better. Whether that baby is an infant, toddler, or school-aged, your goal is to get to the root of the struggle - and ensure a successful & happy future.

**Currently I am not taking new clients. Seeking therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and people may not know what to expect from the process. With this in mind, I have created a comfortable, safe and nonjudgmental environment for my clients. I believe that people deserve the utmost respect, warmth and compassion from their therapist. My role in the therapeutic process is to guide my clients towards their highest potential, while also collaborating with them in every aspect of our work. Because everyone has unique strengths and barriers, my therapy style is open, flexible, and tailored to meet the specific goals of each client.

You can't concentrate, you lack confidence, don't know what it's all for...life is a slog, and you don't want it to be this hard any longer. Whether it's an existential crisis or the long, low drone of anxiety, you want to rid yourself of the heaviness and find the joy again in living. You want meaningful connection to others and to be heading somewhere with the life you have left. You want less conflict and more satisfaction. Life is meant to be lived intentionally. That intentionality can free you from the burdens of an over-stressed lifestyle. Let's find your way forward--together!

If you are struggling to manage your feelings, make desired changes in your life, feeling unhappy, anxious or depressed, then psychotherapy can be a very powerful way to create change and alleviate emotional pain. People are not always aware of why they are feeling distressed, behaving in certain ways or repeating patterns. By providing a safe and thoughtful environment, clients and I collaborate to develop a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and to identify underlying issues that may be interfering with the quality of life.

I have had much experience working with adolescents, adults, older clients, and couples. I use a variety of approaches derived from strength based, cognitive behavioral, ego psychological and family system theories

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I try to customize my therapy to each client. I believe in meeting people where they're at, and helping them find and use the tools to work through their pain. I can help if you're struggling with depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, poor self-esteem, trauma, or adjustment issues.

I believe in the transformative power of an affirming, collaborative therapeutic alliance. I feel fortunate to be able to work with clients on their journey to self-acceptance and well-being. Together, we will work to identify your strengths and formulate your desired outcomes of therapy. I am strongly committed to social justice and advocacy, and I seek to recognize and deconstruct the effects that oppressive systems and cultural contexts can have on the health and well-being of an individual. I approach therapy with compassion and humor, utilizing a trauma-informed and anti-oppression framework.

Have you been in survival mode for too long? Are you walking on eggshells around one of your children? Parenting a child who is struggling is stressful even without a pandemic. It can often result in tension between co-parents, lost sleep, loneliness and lack of understanding from friends & family. Maybe the thought "this isn't what (or the child) I was expecting" has even run through your mind. Whether you planned for pregnancy, fostering or adopting, you likely dreamed of love, connection and joy. And now you are not sure how to get there from here. Or if it is even possible. It really is! There is always room for hope.
