As a relationship therapist, I believe our connections with other people have a profound impact on our happiness and mental health. When I work with clients, my focus is on this natural and vital need to connect with others and my goal is to help my clients establish healthy and satisfying relationships. I am trained in individual, premarital, and couples counseling, as well as sex therapy. My approach is collaborative and empathetic. Together, we can build an atmosphere of openness and safety in order to explore your therapeutic needs.

I believe we are all seeking to improve our lives, to overcome personal concerns and provide ourselves with the satisfaction of improvement. I help to foster this process in a safe and supportive, yet realistic and problem solving environment. We become a team working together to face the toughest challenges

At times, people just want to have a conversation and we put off going to counseling, because honestly we tell ourselves that this other thing is just a little bit more important, a bit more pressing. We forget to invest in ourselves. Life is tough, there is no doubt about that; but why go through it alone. Let me be that person for you to aid you through those tough times or I can simply be that someone that you talk with.

Individuals, couples, and families have unique life stories and come to therapy with a problem they have failed to resolve. Problems do not inhabit an individual; they arise in the relationship to others, to cultural contexts, to illness, to financial pressures, or to ethical dilemmas. Clients come to therapy because they are ready to see their lives in a new light. Clients can resolve their problems by exploring the landscapes of their lives and by creating new stories or rediscovering old stories of forgotten strengths to support their well-being. The ideal client is one who values therapeutic collaboration.

Does something need to shift to make way for the next opportunity or thought? Maybe you've found yourself questioning dynamics in your current relationship, or the high stress level at work. Or maybe you're up at night thinking about past traumas that are now haunting you. This pandemic has taken its toll on mental health and seemingly, every other aspect of life. If you're on the verge of something, thinking of taking that leap, let's leap together. If you're dreaming of the next thing, let's process that. If you're self aware, and wanting to dive deeper, let's see if we can find some clarity. Together.

In today's hectic society, families often struggle to manage responsibilities and maintain satisfying relationships. I work with couples, parents and adolescents on respectful interaction skills using effective communication, conflict resolution, and boundary-setting tools. Many of my clients are teens experiencing anxiety and depression and feeling overwhelmed by school pressures, demanding schedules and relationship issues. I coach young adults to identify and eliminate obstacles blocking their transition into adulthood. We explore values, self-esteem issues, personality traits, interests, and personal and career goals. I challenge my clients of all ages to examine and adjust thoughts and behaviors which are no longer working for them.

Life is complicated and each individual's situation is unique. No one escapes having difficulties in life. Some are tougher obstacles and we might need help figuring out how that affects us personally. Together we can work through those obstacles life handed you. Let's talk about moving forward. You aren’t alone - Help is availble!

What's happening for you? Is something blocking or distressing you - interfering in your life? Is it a habit, a feeling, a nagging question, or a disaster? Is it a disconnect with someone? As a Licensed Professional Counselor with an emphasis on experiential-process, I believe unfolding our experiences in therapy is very helpful. Perhaps some situation, vexing thoughts, troubling feeling, or particular actions hold keys to unlocking a best way forward in your life.

I am passionate about working with individuals and families to overcome the challenges that lead them to seek therapy. Additionally, I hope to help individuals that are navigating the transition into parenthood.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a great deal of experience in helping individuals, couples, and families change their behaviors, their minds, and hence, their lives. Through the use of insight and supportive therapies, noetic-behavioral and cognitive-behavioral techniques, biofeedback, hypnosis, relaxation and stress management, breathing strategies, communication training, and homework, clients are taught a variety of skills that are grounded in current scientific research and empirically tested strategies. Provided they practice these skills, clients can learn to help promote lasting change within themselves, increase their self-esteem, and build better and healthier relationships with loved ones, friends, and family.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? Have you experienced change, loss or trauma that is difficult to make sense of? I understand the pain and confusion caused by significant grief, loss, illness, stress, trauma, and transition. I believe that no matter how big the hurt; healing and growth are always attainable.

There are times we can become stuck in life's challenges. We find ourselves discouraged knowing how we would like things to be or how we would like to feel but find ourselves unable to navigate the best course. I enjoy helping clients navigate such challenges and develop a greater understanding of themselves while focusing on goals.

I am available for TeleMedicine appointments immediately. This is an unprecedented and challenging time in our world. During this time, we need to be reaching for support, connecting to each other & deepening our connection to our own wisdom and strength and to the potential to come through this stronger and with more true joy and love. For many, the added stress is in addition to other challenges like anxiety, loss, trauma and relationship issues. With over 25 years helping folks through difficult times, my goal is to help you re-connect to the deepest part of you – to re-connect and remember your truth, joy, peace and wisdom!

Are you tired of feeling disconnected and alone in your relationship? It feels like each time you communicate, both are left feeling hurt and not understood. Maybe deep down you feel sad but the anger and frustration is building. You start to question everything and fear conflict will never be resolved. You both feel stuck and are not sure how to get out of this cycle that just repeats itself over and over.

Making the initial call is the first courageous step in beginning the process of healing and improving quality of life. My personality as a therapist is one of nurturing, warmth, genuineness, and a non-judgmental demeanor. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents to address their specific developmental challenges and needs in an atmosphere of acceptance and respect. Together, we will strive to explore and identify your strengths, understand and cope with life transitions, anxieties, fears, depression, relationship issues, job stress, and the struggles of everyday life.
