"Psychotherapy provides us an opportunity to learn about our feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and how to develop healthier coping skills. In our work together, I will offer you strategies to enhance your primary relationships, friendships, and work-life balance. The goal is to help you develop a greater awareness of yourself, and to have more options for relating to the world. If you are depressed, anxious, having marital conflicts, or in the midst of a life transition, psychotherapy can help you. I have over 20 years of experience providing individual and couples therapy to adults."

"Couples counseling is my specialty and what I offer almost exclusively. Whether your relationship is experiencing a major crisis (infidelity or threats of divorce) or whether you just feel stuck and disconnected over a communication issue, I am at home. I've been helping couples re-connect and rediscover that "spark" for over 20 years. My style is warm and engaging and I customize therapy approaches to fit your specific relationship. You'll get feedback from me which is what couples indicate they like best about working with me."

"Like riding a wild horse galloping through the woods, our mind can take us wherever it wants until we cultivate skills to tame and steer it. Ruminating on big emotions can seem ferocious and unmanageable. After a break up, a diagnosis, a betrayal, a crisis, change or loss you can feel overwhelmed by what your over-heated, Lamborghini brain kicks up. I can help you create a safe space, reduce speed, re-navigate and travel towards a meaningful life."

"Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important step in the therapy process. A trusting relationship allows clients to feel safe when exploring deeper issues and taking risks. I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative relationship with each of my clients. Using an interpersonal and integrative approach, I enjoy working with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. Having worked in both private practice and university settings has given me 14 years of experience with this work."

"I believe my role as a therapist is to facilitate a supportive and collaborative environment which empowers you to make wanted changes in your life. I have training in various therapeutic approaches which allows me to best meet the needs of the people I work with. I am most influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). You will find that I am an active, open, and holistic therapist who will offer a flexible approach."

"I help individuals with relationship problems, depression, loss and grief, trauma, anxiety, and the emotional disruptions of difficult life transitions. I also help with blocks to the creative process, such as writer's block and stage fright. I provide a safe and caring environment in which we work together to explore and understand your current distress and find a path to greater ease and fulfillment in life. My approach is insight-oriented, collaborative and problem solving, depending on your particular situation and needs. I work with individuals and couples. I prepare forensic psychological evaluations related to trauma."

"When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way."

"Each of us experiences difficulties in our lives, but sometimes it is hard to face them alone. I am an active and engaged therapist, and together we will get to know you well. You will then use this self-awareness to make better, more satisfying choices on a day-to-day basis. Whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, unfocused or dissatisfied, this exploration will support you in bringing out your most adaptive capacities. We will approach this task with compassionate interest and curiosity and without judgment."

"We all need healthy relationships and meaningful activities in order to have fulfilling lives. When we are struggling in one or both of these areas, psychotherapy can be immensely helpful. Our relationship can become a springboard for the positive changes you seek. While I primarily utilize talk therapy techniques, we may incorporate EMDR, breath work, or other methods. My style is active and collaborative; I will listen, and I will tell you what I think. We may focus on how childhood experiences have shaped current problems or emphasize what is happening now in your life."

"I work with couples in all forms, whether dating, pre-marital, newlyweds, or married for years. I also work with other types of dyads such as adult children and their parents and business partners who want to build better communication or resolve conflict. In addition, I work with individuals feeling stressed, overworked, and disconnected. I particularly enjoy working with entrepreneurs/self-employed, LGBTQ, and people in the midst of life transitions which can include breakups, graduating, exploring/entering a new career, or navigating a new season of life. "

"Do you feel stuck? Do you often wonder how others perceive you? Do you feel sad about the death of a loved one, or the end of a close relationship? Do you long to unleash your potential, so you can move on and live a fulfilling life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could benefit from talk therapy. I know that it can be difficult to ask for help, but I am here to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible."

"Do you have a family member or loved one who served in the military and suffers from combat-related stress? Is he or she finding it hard getting back to civilian life or is struggling to maintain healthy relationships, reliving bad memories of traumatic events or avoiding situations that trigger flashbacks of traumatic experiences? Combat-related stress might negatively impact intimacy, sexual desire and can cause ruptures in relationships. It's important to know that post-deployment stress responses are normal reactions to abnormal events..."

"Are you feeling frustrated, lonely, overwhelmed, or depressed? Does it seem like there must be more to life than what you are getting? Sometimes we just feel stuck in our lives. Old emotional wounds or patterns keep nagging at us, keeping us from feeling free to live authentically. Relationships can be one the most rewarding or distressing parts of our lives. Changing the way we relate to ourselves and to others is key. Therapy is a transformative process that can help us address our concerns about ourselves and others."

""All change is loss, and all loss must be mourned." This quote by Harry Levenson normalizes the feelings we all have when big changes occur, even good ones. I provide a safe, supportive environment for you to examine recent life events and their impact on you and your relationships. The therapy relationship is of primary importance to me. Together, we can formulate some coping strategies to address your current difficulties. I seek to help you make connections between the past and the present so that you can create the future you want."

"I work with a wide variety of presenting issues with a broad range of clients. I am here to help you achieve your goals and be successful in therapy. I can work with children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I can help work through grief and loss situations as well as trauma whether current or historical. I work collaboratively with clients and strive to give concrete tools that can help clients today and in the future with their concerns. I know therapy can be difficult but I will be a partner in your process !"

"Compassionate, solution-oriented therapy to help you get in touch with your personal power. Find balance, enhance your strengths, and recreate a belief in yourself and your capacity to thrive. With humor and calm, we will actively restore whole self wellness. I work with clients who want to connect with themselves and their community. My background as a yoga teacher and meditation practitioner informs the work we do as a team."

"Everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, depressed, anxious, or stressed, therapy can help you to find a positive way forward. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. My approach to therapy is informed by over 20 years of clinical experience. I offer a warm and focused setting for discussing the emotional or behavioral patterns that are keeping you from living a happier life. I take a highly personalized approach tailored to your needs. With compassion and understanding, I will work with you to help build on your strengths and develop new emotional and behavioral skills."

"Did you know that the kinder we are to ourselves, the more optimal our mental health will be? Contrary to our 'push through the pain' culture, self-compassion has been proven to actually enhance our performance and our sense of well-being. Learn how to be with feelings of anxiety, sadness and irritability so you don't feel like you're always reacting or losing sight of who you are. Get grounded and become more aware in your life and in your relationships. "
