Psychotherapy is a process of identifying patterns that have led to one's feelings of immobilization. Through understanding these patterns, that which was once only faintly noticed is given a voice and expression; leading to a sense of purposeful direction, security, and enjoyment. My practice is psychoanalytically informed though I also incorporate CBT (linking thoughts and feelings to behaviors) and DBT (using specific skills like mindfulness and affective regulation processes) when appropriate. Though I utilize a variety of techniques, my work aims to illuminate the unconscious processes motivating your conscious behavior.

I would describe myself as an intuitive, and nurturing therapist. I provide non-judgmental counseling filled with unconditional positive regard, and I focus on my clients' overall personal growth and wellness, not just the identified problem. I believe in incorporating the healing power of play and laughter into counseling regardless of client age. I also concentrate on helping my clients to acknowledge their daily progress and to challenge their beliefs about their need for perfection. I am a dedicated therapist and I believe that all of my clients and their needs are unique and worthy of respect and individualized treatment.

I empower individuals and couples to change their perceptions about issues that are unhealthy and assist them in facilitating positive change. I approach therapy with clients from a wellness model (having issues they need assistance managing) as opposed to a medical model (being broken and needing to be fixed). My favorite quote is from Alfred Adler in 1927, "The hardest thing for human beings to do is to know themselves and to change themselves." I enjoy helping clients gain insight that can be helpful to facilitate change in perceptions and ultimately in their lives. I have evenings and weekend availability.

Are you stressed? Are you finding it hard to navigate what life is bringing you? Are your relationships suffering? If you responded “yes” to any of these questions, I would love to help you! Anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, and a host of other issues can be a challenging yet normal part of life. Handling these issues on your own can make them seem impossible. You do not have to go it alone when counseling is available. I specialize in working with men and couples; however, my work with women has always been a hallmark.

Change takes effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you make that change. CBT is like finding a map to a more ideal life and learning that life is much closer than you had thought. This form of therapy teaches you how to change your thinking, with an initial focus on improving the here-and-now with smaller focus on the past. Practice is essential and CBT involves work, but that work often yields results. CBT can help improve mood, reduce anxiety and fears, change unhelpful behaviors, make relationships better, and lead to a richer, more satisfying life.

Therapy is a reciprocal process and I feel privileged to work with my clients and continue to learn from their experiences. I work with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, life changes, social and behavioral issues, and identity development. My goal is to establish a healthy therapeutic relationship where we can explore feelings, reactions, and thoughts in a safe environment. I believe the main goal of therapy is to improve self-esteem and self-efficacy to increase positive connections to others. My purpose is to help children feel a sense of belonging and security in a complicated world.
