There are as many different kinds of struggles as there are people. That said, counseling can be a place to sort out confusion, find fresh perspectives, and re-energize yourself to tackle the ups and downs of your life and feel good about your actions. It's something we all can benefit from at different points in our lives. I work with teenagers, adults, and elders. My work includes couples counseling, individual counseling, and family counseling, as well as work focused on employment issues and men's issues.

Whatever brings someone to therapy, it generally includes some form of pain, dissatisfaction, or discomfort, and a disconnect between what is happening their life and what they want. Our work together will help to shed light on why you are struggling, and support you as you make changes, drawing on your strengths to find an approach that is more effective and aligned with how you want your life to be. I believe that effective therapy starts with a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental emotional space where clients can feel heard and understood and my work is grounded in developing a strong therapeutic relationship.

I believe in an individualized approach to counseling/therapy. People often contact me for help with relationships, depression, anxiety, stress management, grief/loss, and other life transitions. To me, each situation is unique.
My being a good listener as well as offering a variety of "psychological tools" are both important. For example, tools might include new skills in communication such as better ways to handle conflict or manage difficult emotions like anger, sadness, fear, envy or guilt.
Providing a safe, supportive and confidential place to discuss difficult issues is essential. I also believe strongly in building on people's strengths.

NEW openings in September! I am privileged to work with individuals, couples, and groups. As a generalist, I work comfortably across a broad spectrum of client concerns: depression, bipolar, anxiety, identity (gender, sexual, multicultural, immigrant), grief, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions and adjustment issues. In addition, I have specialized training with couples using Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the “gold standard” for couples therapy. I am often awed by the transformation that EFT creates within individuals and their relationships.

In my calm, safe, confidential office, I am currently offering HIPAA secure Online video sessions using a HIPPA-compliant secure platform or phone consultations. We integrate CDC guidelines for COVID-19 for any inperson sessions. My 25 years of clinical experience have taught me about the courage those facing complex life difficulties bring to psychotherapy. Adults, children and adolescents are given help finding solutions. Mindfulness techniques which I have discovered the value of through a 25+ year meditation practice are also of benefit to clients who are looking to make life changes.

The reasons behind people's decision to seek out therapy are multifaceted, but underlying most of these reasons is a desire for change. While achieving change can be extremely gratifying, the process can often be uncomfortable and even painful as people take an honest look at issues and concerns in a supportive and safe environment. I think of the therapeutic process as a collaboration, with two people working together to achieve the goals that bring a person to therapy in the first place, and resolving issues they may not have anticipated. I believe in utilizing a person's strengths and personal values to create change.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure often creates a mental loop of uncertainty and doubt that causes us to think that we are all alone with our feelings, or stuck. As a strengths-based therapist, I look at what you are doing well, what your natural talents are and where you hope to be in the future when determining how to assist you. Using evidence-based practices, we will build on your strengths and develop a toolbox of strategies you can use to help you more fully enjoy your life.

I offer individual counseling to adults and adolescents ages 14 and over. I also enjoy working with couples. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral (actively working on changing ones thoughts and behaviors) and therapeutic mindfulness (learning to experience difficulties with awareness and self-compassion rather than judgment and avoidance). I place a strong emphasis on building communication and coping skills that can be used again and again in challenging situations. I have experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, self-harming behaviors, and counseling around life transitions and family concerns.

I have worked in this field for over 15 years, and I grow to love my role more and more as I support others in their journey toward being the best version of themselves. Many people who are hurting and wish for guidance seek out what they believe are the best techniques in therapy. Throughout my time working in the field, I have come to realize that the therapeutic relationship is just as important - if not more so.

Therapy is an experience of collaboration and trust. I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and preferences. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and work from a strength-based perspective. I am interactive, not shying away from giving feedback, but fundamentally believe each individual has the capacity to set their own goals and measure their own success. I have extensive experience treating adults with a variety of disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and with those suffering from maladaptive coping strategies.

I am a psychologist who works with adults in individual and group psychotherapy. My approach is integrative in nature meaning that, depending on the needs of my clients, I seek to relieve distress through providing emotion regulation and other skills while also working towards long-term change by gaining insight into problematic thought patterns and relationship cycles. I specialize in working with clients who are seeking therapy for emotion- and relationship-based problems, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger issues.
