Welcome! You have taken a big step in creating a better, more fulfilling life for yourself. Seeking psychological services takes courage; I respect and honor this as you embark on your journey. My style is compassionate, interactive, and collaborative. You can expect me to listen supportively at times or ask questions or offer suggestions and homework at other times. Therapy is an active process and I enjoy collaborating with each client as a team to reach the goals we have agreed upon.

It is my belief that what keeps us from asking for guidance, someone to truly help us through our vulnerability, is the fear of being judged. Maybe we believe we are beyond help. Let me commit to you a safe space where compassion and nonjudgement are guaranteed; an interactive relationship where we stimulate thoughts, ideas & feelings. I'm "in it" with you journeying by your side. No matter how impossible it seems to shift the painful state you are in, it is possible. It is accessible sooner than you realize. Let me help you access the freedom to be you.

As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Couples Counselor, I support both couples and individuals—my work is to help you move through pain, miscommunication, or dissatisfaction in your sex life and relationships to find closeness and fulfillment. If sex feels "off": it's boring, or painful, or makes you anxious, OR if you dread coming home from work to avoid another fight OR if you feel alone in your relationship like you're roommates instead of lovers and partners OR if you're healing from betrayal or an affair, therapy can help you (and your partner) repair past hurts to create a fully satisfying marriage/relationship & life.

In life we try to balance the responsibilities of work, school and day-to day life so we can enjoy our time with our family and friends. However when we struggle with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, or major life changes it becomes harder to find the enjoyment in life. I've been working with youth, young adults and their families for 10 years. My goal is to help you figure out how to meet the demands of day-to-day life while also seeking the opportunities to enjoy life as well.

If you feel defeated in your personal chaos, or LOST in a relational situation, I CAN help. I commit to provide you SAFE space, full of compassion, ZERO judgment! I will engage WITH YOU so that TOGETHER, we stimulate thinking, ideas & feelings. INTERACTIVE, not NOTES! I'd be honored to support you. As your Coach, I'm "in it" with you. I'm by your side & I'll have your back! The painful state you are in MUST seem like GRIDLOCK. Too big to shift? I CAN HELP. We CAN shift this & I'm saying ..to an amazing STATE! To choose a stranger (PSY TODAY) to help you, now that's HARD! PLZ stay BRAVE & let me prove how great this can get!

I believe that people are innate problem solvers. However, in order to solve problems successfully, we need three key ingredients: information, capacity, and skills. Ideally, therapy isn’t about solving the problem for you, it’s about exploring the problem with you so you can determine how these ingredients are at play and develop your own methods to get them. Sometimes, I like to describe therapy as being an editor of the story you’re writing—they're your words and it is your story, but one can get lost in how to be an effective story-teller. A good editor serves as a guide to help you, the author, produce your best work.

There are many factors that contribute to the decision to pursue therapy. Finding someone who can assist you at this significant time in your life is an important choice. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I collaborate with you to understand areas to focus on within therapy and best approaches that are both helpful and supportive. I highly value treating others with respect, empathy, and acceptance. Working with me you will find my style is warm, open, and interactive.

If you could let go of anything, what would it be? I provide short-term, intensive therapy that resolves the cause of your issue. I am a practitioner of Mimetic Therapies. This means I facilitate profound and transformational experiences in the resolution of Trauma/PTSD and Grief/Loss, as well as panic, depression, phobia, and pain for anyone- regardless of background- interested in feeling better. My ideal client is done talking about it, done doing workbooks, done understanding the cause. I connect deeply and directly with the parts of you that have been trying so hard to protect and heal your self and cause them to collaborate.

Let's have the conversation that changes your life. I help gifted problem solvers overcome the challenges (and clean up the messes) they tend to create.

I am passionate about helping people find more balance, joy, and fulfillment in their lives by focusing on their personal goals and utilizing a highly individualized and direct approach.

I have practiced as an Integrative Movement Psychotherapist for over 17 years and believe that true healing shines through when we work with the whole self-the body, the mind and spirit.

Therapy looks different for different people. I believe that the most effective form of therapy is one where the therapist and the client can have a collaborative, authentic relationship. I work from a holistic, integral model of therapy. I incorporate a psychoeducational approach into my practice, offering an individualized collection of resources and interventions. I am passionate about facilitating client insight and well-being. It is my privilege to be welcomed into your world and to become a partner in your healing.

My primary experience is working with children and adolescents and their families in coping with life's stressors, more significant mental health symptoms, and developing more effective coping styles and communication patterns. In treatment, it is my goal to work alongside your child and you to find resources and coping skills to handle overwhelming experiences which are impacting you and your child's functioning. My dog Sammy, a therapy dog, is present during most sessions and can help support children suffering from anxiety around coming to therapy and providing a safe place to process difficult emotions.

Sometimes our lives can just be overwhelming. Are you struggling with a more recent change or stressful situation? Relationship, work, parenting, divorce, job/school or overall imbalance in your life? For some, there are long term factors that can be obstacles to relationship, employment and success in our lives. Depression, anxiety, addiction, weight and body issues, often only worsen. Getting support, new perspective and tools to deal with challenges can be life changing and a key for long term emotional wellness.

You are the expert of your life! Utilizing an "eclectic" approach, I will draw from an array of psychological orientations to help you recognize and move past obstacles standing between you and your contentment; which will enable you to experience more fulfilling relationships. I'm a "compassionate soul" with great listening skills, although my style is "active" and I frequently utilize Cognitive Behavioral tools and techniques to help you challenge your thinking, reduce your anxiety, and to encourage you to take advantage of the full spectrum of thinking and being.
