"Partnering with you to improve the quality of your life: that is my goal as your therapist. I'm here to encourage, support, empower, and listen. During our first session we will determine your goals for therapy and what changes you want to make to improve your life. To best help you, I use an integrative technique, designed to meet you where are ready to start, and sessions are tailored to your needs and goals. One of the most important therapeutic factors, according to research and my own experience, is finding the right fit with your therapist."

"Congratulations on making it this far; searching for a therapist can be an overwhelming process, and the first step is often the hardest! Many individuals struggle with depression, anxiety, adjusting to change, or simply the desire to understand themselves more thoroughly. Whether to improve mood and functioning, or glean insight into personality, therapy can be reparative, strengthening, and play a role in maximizing enjoyment of life! I work with individuals on many problems, and have expertise in several areas including perinatal (pregnancy/pospartum) anxiety and depression, and sexuality/gender issues."

"Many people pick up unhealthy coping behaviors when faced with vast amounts of emotional pain. It is often these behaviors that let us know something is not working well and force us to seek counsel for answers and solutions. Concerns I have worked with range from technology addiction, to self-injury, to poor relationship quality. As a result, I favor a compassionate, direct, and flexible approach to empower clients with hope and motivation to overcome their pain. "

"People often seek counseling or psychotherapy to change and to resolve difficulties or problems. Seeking consultation is personal and it takes some courage to initiate contact. Sometimes the impetus comes from within; sometimes your circumstances or others close to you provide a nudge. Finding the 'right' therapist for you may take some exploration. Some people simply seek to talk privately about a subject or an issue. This may involve one's direction in life, career, management role, or decision-making. Some people seek to address deeply personal thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, spirituality, or other concerns."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples in a relaxed, safe, and caring environment. People enter my office because they feel stuck or lost. Clients recognize that they are unhappy and often know what makes them unhappy, but they don't know how to change.

"Human beings are hard-wired for connection and so I focus on couple, family and individual relationships. At their best, our relationships feel like home, safe and secure places where joy and support abound. When relationships feel strained, or you’ve lost a sense of safety and stability, we struggle. In your partnership, you may be experiencing disconnection, repetitive fights, mistrust, infidelity, lack of intimacy, or loss of emotional connection. In my work with couples, I connect with each of your perspectives, working as a translator for your emotional needs, and helping you heal any fractures or old wounds."

"As a licensed clinical psychologist since 1997, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I am a generalist, meaning that I work with clients from childhood to adulthood, in individual, family, couple's, and group therapy. I see clients dealing with issues including anxiety, conflict, depression, and relationship difficulties. In addition, I have an interest working with gay and lesbian clients. If you feel I can be helpful to you or someone you know, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to discuss your unique situation in more detail."
