Anxiety? Panic? Depression? Trauma? Is the world just too much lately? Do you want to feel heard and enjoy life? My therapy dog Timon and I would love to guide and help you. Following a critical illness in my life, I started a quest for purpose and devoted myself to an educational journey to create synergy with my own life experiences. My interest is trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, suicide ideation, past sexual abuse, relationship issues coupled with focus on how interpersonal, cognitive thinking and environmental factors play a part in helping people to change.

Most people seek psychotherapy because they have a persistent feeling that something isn't right or isn't the way they want it to be. They are looking for someone to listen, understand their concerns and then provide input on how to make things right. As a therapist, I will start where you are at, wherever that may be. Then we will figure out what your needs are and how best to meet them. We will take a practical approach that will make sense to you. The goal is to help you find what you want.

I think many of us just want to be heard and understood for the most part, and from there maybe we can find some healing and growth. Whether its sadness, anxiety, relational challenges, addiction, lack of motivation, etc., I believe these often stem from some sort of trauma and/or loss of connection with ourselves or others. It can leave us feeling absolutely defeated, hopeless and horribly alone. Where do we go from there, where do we start from? Can we come back in touch with something that feels alive, fulfilling and connective? This is a deeply personal process and I believe the answers are much closer than we sometimes imagine!

I believe that the foundation of life starts with our family relationships. From the time we are young, our interactions with others create our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These early childhood experiences help develop our personality and outlook on life. As we grow, it is important for us to keep in mind where we come from, who we are, and what we want in our future.

Life is unexpected and full of unknowns. Familial, relational, and societal (among others) pressures are demanding and seem like they will never end.

Do you feel like you're carrying a burden, beating yourself up, or overthinking?

I have been working as a licensed psychologist for over 25 years, working with individuals and families with a wide range of problems.

I believe that everyone has within themselves the power to solve their problems and find possibility, meaning and hope in their lives. My role is to help them find this power.

Much of my practice as a Clinical Social Worker is simply holding space to remind people that we are all human beings with a need to be seen and heard. To quote Dr. Jodi Carrington, “We are all just walking each other home.” I believe that there is a great deal of strength in the telling of our stories. By having a supportive, healing environment in which to share your truth, you will find that you can identify, verbalize, and regulate your emotions. You can’t heal what you don’t acknowledge. The telling of your story is important.
