"Welcome. If you have found yourself here you are probably looking for relief. My passion and experience focuses around helping others find clarity and balance. We each have different histories, needs, patterns of thinking, and struggles. All of us develop strategies of protecting ourselves that have been useful in the past but have become outdated. It's important that we move toward ways that currently work; that help guide us toward the most peace and happiness possible. Guiding individuals toward getting to know, accept, and thrive in one's own self and in relationship is something I am dedicated to."

"I work with individuals, families and couples addressing issues around relationships, parenting and communication."

"Estrangement in families is more common than many people realize. Parents can feel fearful and powerless, hurt and confused. I can help you explore how your best intentions to reach out to your adult child could be backfiring, and why your selfless generosity may be met with rejection. With training and experience in individual therapy and a variety of family constellations, I'm ready to help you get beyond feeling stuck."

"I am versatile in my clinical experience with clients of different ages and cultures. I have particular interest in working with teens, families, and individuals struggling with addiction. I most enjoy providing support groups for adults and teenagers. I have worked in schools, outpatient clinics, and private practice. I also have expertise in suicide prevention work with teenagers and young adults. Additionally, I have worked within the deaf commjunity for over twenty years, and am fluent in American Sign Language."

"I provide individual and couples sessions in a respectful environment where the therapeutic relationship can be built upon a foundation of trust and compassion. Therapy sessions support clients in becoming more self-aware while exploring the dynamics, situations and patterns that cause them suffering. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, parenting, neuroscience and attachment, and mindfulness techniques."

"I work actively with people to assess what is important and meaningful to them. I use inquiry and observation to help you know yourself better, as well as identifying and addressing obstacles that prevent you from fully engaging in life, in relationships and in creative work. This self understanding can enable you to build resiliance and expand your capacity to embrace the inevitable gifts, disappointments, and changes, that life brings your way. These changes may include feeling better about yourself, expanding your ability to develop closer intimate relationships, and create more satisfaction in your work life."

"I help individual adults, teens and couples work through transitions and difficult stages in their lives and relationships. I have over 10 years of experience in helping individuals, couples and families learn problem solving techniques, enhance communication and minimize stress. My approach is warm, interactive and solution-focused. I believe that everyone has strengths, but during stressful times they may need help accessing those strengths. It can be helpful during those times to have an objective professional that provides support, perspective and guidance to make positive changes."

"Maybe you are tired of feeling stuck, questioning how you are living, hearing a voice of dissatisfaction with your life or your relationships, those with others and the important one with yourself. My work is to reinforce and amplify the strengths that you possess as well as introduce you to new strategies with which you may be unfamiliar in order to support you to move forward into the life you want, leaving behind what no longer serves you."

"It takes courage to reach out, ask for help, and open up to another person. My first priority is to help you feel safe, supported, and understood. If you feel down, have difficulty experiencing joy, feel uncertain of yourself, can’t shake feeling nervous, or struggle with past painful life events, know that these struggles do not define you, and healing is always possible. You are not alone, and you do not have to suffer. The relationship with a therapist is the foundation to build upon and the key to change. I will do my best to understand you from early childhood events to current life experiences. "

"If you are hoping to make a change, I can help you. By shifting perspectives, we can collaboratively help break patterns that impair relationships, health and work. Therapy can be safe and effective; I will help you reach your goals and increase emotional resilience."

"Your relationship is stressed or you're looking for one, you're restless in your career or you're searching for meaning. Your self-care has taken backseat to busyness and life has become more about being mother, wife, or caretaker. You're feeling stagnant, uninspired, and worried the world is passing you by. You want to change but feel paralyzed by uncertainty. You want to wake up in the morning looking forward to your day. You want to get clear with what's missing in your relationship, your career, and your life and how to make lasting, meaningful change that feels worth the effort."

"My philosophy is to empower my patients to be helpful and compassionate towards themselves and develop a healthy way to deal with life’s difficult times. Therapy is about personal connection, and my first goal is always to provide a safe, comfortable environment for my patients."

"In our culture there is little space devoted to exploring illness, death and dying, and grief. We often turn away from the impending reality of death because it can be frightening to think about our own mortality. This serves us well until we experience a medical diagnosis or trauma that changes the way we live in the world. My role as a therapist is to join with you on this journey of exploration, facing complicated emotions that arise, like feeling alone, uncertain, angry, or sad. "

"My therapeutic work is based in the belief that we all have inner strengths; therefore I work collaboratively with clients to access and utilize their strengths so they can live happier and more fulfilling lives. I have experience working with adults, adolescents and children dealing with anxiety, depression, eating disorder, as well as behavioral problems, including self- harm, school avoidance, non-compliance, substance use, defiance and aggression. I also work with families helping them create structure and implement interventions to increase desired behaviors and improve family relationship."

"I specialize in helping adults and teens who experience work or school stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship issues. I use collaborative and effective techniques to guide you through the hard times and create a satisfying and meaningful life. I help improve relationships, manage performance pressures (work, school, sports) and provide mental health education in a relaxing, nonjudgemental space. Call me for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit."
