Have you been struggling for a while now on something within your life? Whether it's relationships, life transitions, trauma, or just trying to navigate things in this ever changing world? You feel you have an idea of what you want, and the motivation to change and grow, but don't know where to start.

I see therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. In therapy, we work together to help you understand yourself on a deeper level in order to feel better and find healthier and happier ways of being.

With over 23 years of experience, I work compassionately with individuals to help alleviate the painful symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss. Life transitions and events including relationship issues, college, marriage, childbirth, divorce, death of a loved one, chronic illness, and retirement present new challenges and often touch upon unresolved past issues as well. Working collaboratively with clients through insight oriented psychotherapy, I can help to enhance one's ability to make desired life changes, and to provide a greater sense of well being overall.

You’re looking for a change, whether that is in your life, your child’s life, or with your partner , and someone to help guide you, hold you accountable, and to learn how to accomplish this change. I utilize a wide variety of evidenced-based treatments alongside holistic interventions tailored to the individual or family to help them get from where they are to where they want to be. I work with my clients to accomplish this change by first addressing foundational basics of a healthy life, working together to address stressors and unresolved trauma, and learning new skills and implementing life-changing daily practices.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who has successfully treated couples , families, and individuals for over 25 years. Using Brief, collaborative therapy, I help you learn new ways to successfully work through life's critical issues in as few as 10 sessions. How does Brief therapy work? Sessions are client focused and solution directed. You collaborate with me in creating desired goals then actively participate in homework directed to test and fine-tune skills used to resolve issues and achieve those goals. Therefore, therapy becomes more efficient and effective. Most clients successfully resolve their issues in 5 - 10 sessions!!

The concerns that life brings us vary widely, but I often see people struggle with stress management, anxiety, depression, school or work-related concerns, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and the uncertainty of life's transitions. My approach is both collaborative and person-centered, while always rooted in evidence-based practices. Therapy is a place to unpack suffering in order to find understanding, balance, peace, hope, and joy.

The more you understand yourself and your patterns of behavior the better you can make positive change. Do you have marital issues that you are struggling with and need an honest objective opinion? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety and can’t seem to get out of the cycle? Many times it is another set of ears that is needed to help bring objectivity and clarity to an issue of life's crossroads. I also enjoy helping people understand why they keep repeating negative patterns and behaviors. Therapy can be very positive and inspire you to make changes.

Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

Are anxiety and depression ruling your life? Is everyday a struggle? I am a licensed counselor with experience who can transform your life for the better. I work with clients facing intimate relationship issues, bereavement, severe anxiety and depression. I am compassionate and possess the tools to create positive change in your life. I come from the perspective that everyone has a story to tell and deserves a place where it can be safely heard. My mission is to work with clients in a highly attuned and deeply caring way. I am also trained in EMDR for clients with trauma to help bring balance to their lives.

I have found that people tend to seek therapy when they are experiencing some kind of stressful situation in their life. You may have found that you keep repeating bad patterns or that you feel stuck in your relationships or your job and you don't know what to do to get unstuck. We all need to find someone we can feel safe sharing our deepest concerns with and we want to feel understood. Whether the work is brief, or more long-term, I am passionate about helping you to develop behavior changes that will lead to healing and eventually to you fulfilling your potential.

You are not alone when having difficulty dealing with the storms of life. Many of us experience challenges, yet oftentimes it is difficult to find a safe person and space to express these concerns without being judged. Life changes constantly and sometimes every day events leave you feeling overwhelmed, drained and unmotivated. Each day can be extremely difficult for you. Constant demands of family, work and relationships are stressful, and you know it’s time to make some changes. Losses of all kinds whether the loss of a loved one, job, or relationship , can trigger a mirage of emotions or feelings of lack of control.

I believe therapy is an opportunity for people to engage in a collaborative process that focuses on achieving important goals in one's life; such as self-exploration/knowledge, and an improved ability to manage problems. I utilize a supportive and empathetic approach in my work in order to foster a comfortable environment in which the goals of our work can be achieved. I will assist you in the therapeutic process by offering helpful feedback, insight/observations, and questions which will promote further understanding. I am here to help you live a life that is more pleasurable and fulfilling.

Life can be difficult, but I believe that with the aid of therapy people can obtain a deeper understanding of themselves, and find ways to overcome their obstacles. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and have experience with treating mood and personality disorders, anxiety, behavioral problems, relationship /marital conflicts, and parental/family issues. I believe every person is unique, therefore I utilize a variety of treatment approaches, including- Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Family Systems.

“The only constant in life is change.” Are you adjusting to a: new job, relationship , loss of a loved one, or overall change in your way of life? Do you feel overwhelmed by the many changes causing you to feel stagnant? You notice others seemingly accepting change fluidly throughout their lives and are somewhat in awe of the process. You are tired of replaying the same scenario in your head while your sadness and anxiety escalate.

Finding the best individual and marriage therapist for you can seem daunting. Talking to us, asking questions, paying attention to your feelings and intuition, all help. My 30 years experience as a compassionate, well-trained psychotherapist give me the background and skills to support you in achieving your goals, which might include: resolving immediate symptoms; recognizing and appreciating core strengths; developing deeper self awareness and acceptance; and learning the skills of empowered, effective communication. I am experienced in working with the newer spiritual growth paradigms, as in the work of Eckhart Tolle.
