I provide individual and family therapy to individuals who are looking for help to cope with life's various twists and turns. I utilize an organic approach to gain an understanding of your specific life situations and stressors that are contributing to your current feelings. I use positive affirmations, strength identification and skill building to encourage you to reach your personal goals. We will work quickly to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms while we learn to identify triggers that may cause these feelings in order to focus on making long term changes that will help you to move forward through life.

Most of us do the best we can with the resources we have. Sometimes we think no one understands our worries & fears. If open to it, we want to work with a therapist when our usual ways of relating aren't helping & we feel stuck, anxious, angry or depressed. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths & internal resources we already have to help navigate challenging times. In sessions, I focus on working with clients to unlock this strength to steer their lives in the direction they want. I bring curiosity, warmth, respect, & empathy to my sessions.

*NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. As a therapist, I strive to bring warmth and wits into sessions with my patients. My role is to help people identify patterns that are causing trouble or distress. This process involves not only trying to understand the "root" of the problem, but also looking for ways in which individuals might get stuck in problematic ways of relating to others or thinking about themselves. This can be hard work, but it has the potential to be very rewarding. In my experience, people who engage in therapy often find that old patterns can change, and new choices are able to emerge in their lives.

**Currently offering teletherapy availability (but please confirm that teletherapy is covered by your specific insurance plan)**.

Do you feel disconnected and overwhelmed in your life? Today's stress can start to feel like it’s closing in on you. In your relationship, you may feel alone and wonder if you can ever reconnect. You might wonder if your family will ever stop fighting and just talk to each other again. You all used to have fun together - what changed? If you’re a health care provider or managing health concerns yourself, you may feel unsure how to manage the cumulative aspect of stress or find balance in your life.

Have you felt utterly alone despite being surrounded by others? Have you felt misunderstood by those close to you? Have you felt despair; trapped as a prisoner of your own mind? Psychotherapy focuses on symptom reduction and management and psychoanalysis targets the root of the symptom. Being able to integrate both of my credentials enables me to provide you with a comprehensive treatment that, along with providing a warm, encouraging and unbiased environment to promote self esteem and feelings of self worth, will lead you on the path to living a more serene, enriched and fulfilled life.

I have experience helping people of diverse backgrounds and identities in various stages of life, including adolescents, young adults, middle adults, and older adults, as they explore issues that arise through transitions, losses, daily stresses, and changing relationships as well as experiences of grief, trauma, family issues, identity exploration, divorce, infertility, depression, and anxiety. Different phases of life can bring new challenges or raise old concerns that we thought were behind us. I assist people in exploring their current worries in response to specific goals as well as the desire for deeper understanding.

My newly release book entitled: Why Can't I Be Happy: From Self-Hate to Self-Love. You don't have to be "crazy" to seek counseling. In fact, counseling, seeking new ways of looking at a problem, getting professional help, being coachable, re-framing some of the things that have been falsely thought to us, are all signs of having a healthy mind in search of the doing better. I understand that sometimes life becomes unmanageable or overwhelming; you just need help to sort it out. At times the same issues keep happening over and over and you wonder "Why me?" I will show you how to break that cycle and avoid the reoccurring patterns.

Change is hard. People often seek psychotherapy around change. They want to change. People in their life want them to change. Or some life change is affecting them in a meaningful way. Often, it's a combination. By working together I can help you in this challenge. I frequently work with adolescents and adults struggling with addiction in themselves or in their families. Many of my patients are addressing anxiety, depression, questions or challenges regarding their sexual orientation, infertility, life transitions, traumatic experiences or eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. A lot of my patients are college or graduate students.

(***Accepting new clients as of March 1, 2021***) Welcome! I believe that the most successful therapy occurs when a strong clinical rapport is developed between therapist and client(s). To that end, I will work with you (or your child) to create a warm, therapeutic environment where we can collaboratively determine your needs and goals, and then work together toward achieving those goals. My approach to therapy is eclectic, which means I pull from a number of different theoretical orientations. This allows me the flexibility to tailor the treatment according to your unique needs.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I build therapeutic relationships with my clients to facilitate positive growth. I have over 20 years of extensive experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health centers and local schools. I work with individuals of all ages to improve well-being and resolve personal challenges using evidenced based and client centered treatments. I provide therapy to adults who are interested in improving their lives and or struggling with specific concerns. For example, some clients want to improve relationships with family members, reduce stress and anxiety, and learn coping strategies for managing difficult situations. Other's may want support with creating and achieving life goals. ​ I work with parents to help them develop the skills to manage their child's worries, fears, and social emotional and behavioral challenges.

* At this time I am not able to accept new clients * Finding the right therapist with whom to create a strong therapeutic alliance is paramount to success. I work with my clients in a framework of compassion, honesty, trust and safety. Together we will identify your goals, empower you to change what you can in your life and to learn acceptance, not passive resignation, for that which you can not change. Carl Jung put it best, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become”.

A comprehensive evaluation is often the first step in helping to understand an individual's difficulties, cognitive profile and learning differences. Working for years in ADHD clinics and neurodevelopmental centers has fostered my expertise in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment recommendations for various cognitive, behavioral and emotional disorders in children and adults. I also have expertise in assessing the neurocognitive effects of chronic Lyme disease and fetal alcohol syndrome. All therapy and testing services are currently provided via telehealth.

I believe that as unique individuals we should all be appreciated and understood from several angles - social, biological, psychological, cultural, and sometimes spiritual - to get the best sense of who we are as complete people. This requires a focus not just on our problems and challenges but also on our strengths and resources. These aspects of our identities color the way we give meaning to our past, our future, our relationships, and our struggles. Psychotherapy should be a process that recognizes these factors while creating a safe, caring, and creative atmosphere to provide treatment based on sound theory and research.
