I believe that the path to healing requires a safe, and trusting relationship between client and therapist. As a psychologist, my main goal is create a warm and welcoming space for clients to feel understood, heard, respected, and safe. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them better understand themselves and the challenges they have faced, improve interpersonal relationships, and promote healing. My approach to therapy is integrative, and client-centered; meeting my clients where they are. We work together to reach their goals and find lasting change, fulfillment, and healing.

Good therapy is challenging, at times fun, yet always affirming. I work diligently with my clients to help them develop insights, designed to enhance their overall life fulfillment.

I believe that people need a therapist who has the ability to understand their experience. Once a person has the experience of being understood, a foundation is established to work through more vulnerable and difficult material. It is this proces of establishing a safe and understanding experience and working through of material that allows the possibility of change and the realization of one's true self and potentials.

Twenty four years and counting in private practice. I work with psychological and physical manifestations of depression, anxiety and trauma. During the initial meeting a thorough process of assessment will be done together. With questions about how you are currently feeling, thinking and functioning being the focus of my attention. Together a process of psychotherapy will begin with the goal of expanding your capacity to manage and understand your social/emotional/cognitive functions along with your physical experiences in order to create new ways to feel, think, do and be in the world.

I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents, adults and their families covering a range of issues. I focus on working through and solving problems that are unique to each person's perspective. I feel it important to listen to each party's concerns and get to the root of the matter with assertive yet gentle guidance. My goal is to provide a safe emotional environment for children and adolescents dealing with complex issues so that they can express their concerns and develop ways of coping with their difficulties, successfully.

I enjoy working with people that are motivated and active in therapy. Whether the issue is at work, in a relationship, or how you think or feel about things, we can move through it with honesty, laughter, and grace. I also enjoy working with couples because a lot of change can come from partners working through issues together. Relationships are really hard so helping people navigate through the rough patches, while reinforcing the good, is especially rewarding. I also like working with teens, because we can intervene early. I think we can help teens avoid unnecessary pain later in life, if we teach them skills now.

I am a licensed psychologist and provide therapy to individuals, adolescents and couples. I specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, physical, relational and sexual abuse. I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant in EMDR: a powerful therapeutic process that is used to treat many types of psychological distress, and to enable performance enhancement.

Looking for a therapist can be overwhelming, but it can also be an exciting opportunity for change. Perhaps you are seeking help overcoming feelings of anxiety or depression, or increasing connection and reducing conflict in a significant relationship in your life. Or maybe it's time to seek clarity about your past so that you can finally look forward towards a healthy, promising future. As a therapist with many years of counseling experience, I am deeply committed to offering an accepting, non-judgmental, and safe environment that can help you discover new possibilities for healing, positive change, and a better future.

My goal is to support clients to improve their quality of daily life and I am committed to supporting them achieve better outcomes for themselves. I work with clients and their families to learn healthy strategies for managing anxiety and depression that may be debilitating or preventing them from doing things they once loved and enjoy doing.

Therapy is different for everyone. I believe one of the most important aspects of successful work in therapy comes from the strength of the client/therapist relationship. The process of solving emotional and relational problems can be both intimidating, and very rewarding. I work to help individuals and couples discover their strengths and build on them. The process of change will be unique to each person, and I am honored to be on it with you.
