Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns, or substance use begin affecting your work, health, or connections. You may be trying to break unhealthy patterns, navigate recovery, strengthen relationships, or better understand yourself. I use a personality-driven approach that considers how you think, relate, cope, and respond to stress. Together, we build insight, practical skills, and lasting change that fits who you are.

While searching online for a therapist can be overwhelming, I encourage you to trust in your ability to find the right person to help. A lot of these profiles sound similar, so how do you choose? I'll try to share a couple things I think would help you decide if I would be a good fit for you. The most important is that my work focuses on identifying and resolving underlying patterns, in order to create lasting change (instead of coping skills that provide temporary relief but don't resolve the issue).

You might’ve tried traditional talk therapy and still feel stuck—anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why certain patterns won’t shift. Maybe you’re high-functioning on the outside but carrying tension, burnout, or old wounds that won’t budge. You’re thoughtful, sensitive, and craving something deeper—something that goes beyond coping skills and talks to your whole self, not just your thoughts.

Life is complex, but feeling alone can really make it feel intolerable. As a clinical social worker, my approach to mental health is rooted in unconditional positive regard and care, all based on a belief that we can heal from previous hurt and traumas. I delight in accompanying individuals through their life experience, processing the challenging emotions, and witnessing the emergence of relief, tolerating the myriad of emotions, and finding a life of thriving. I see the therapeutic relationship as a personalized, reparative dyad for discovering new ways of viewing yourself and connecting in relationships.

Are you feeling stressed and fear you will "burn out?" Are you grieving the death of a loved one or loss of something important to you (e.g., job or relationship)? Have you experienced trauma, such as a car accident, sexual assault, natural disaster, or other highly stressful event? Are you going through a life transition (e.g., leaving home for the first time, health change, retirement)? Are you struggling to find where you best fit in the world of work? If any of these fit for you, I'd love to assist you in your journey back to vitality. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment for clients to share their stories.

Healing isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about coming home to yourself.
I am a clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My practice is integrative, blending evidence-based tools like EMDR and Psychodynamic therapy with psychedelic-assisted therapy, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, and awareness of the mind-body-spirit connection. Connecting with nature reconnects us to the world, and I also offer walking therapy when the weather permits.

Now a retired Professor Emeritus, I taught graduate students the art & science of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy for 47years. I have worked extensively with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, and other complex feelings related to difficult life transitions as well as specific issues such as extramarital affairs, divorce, parental alienation, domestic violence, loss and grief, underachieving adolescents and young adults, etc. My overall goal of therapy is to help each client get more of what they want & less of what they don’t want in their family or intimate or work-oriented relationships.

I take a warm, curious approach to understanding you and the roots of your suffering. Together, we’ll explore not only what you’re experiencing, but why, so you can better understand yourself and navigate your life with more clarity and confidence. I’m a natural “dot connector”—almost forensic in how I help piece together the ways your history, relationships, beliefs, and experiences intersect and shape the present.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. A common reason for beginning therapy is that some aspect of life does not feel as though it is working leaving you feeling frustrated, anxious, or unfulfilled. I enjoy working with people who have had successes in life, yet struggle to maintain happiness, energy, and a positive self-view. We work together to identify problems, both current and past, and new ways of working through them. I focus on the whole person in order to help people live their life in a way that feels whole, integrated, and satisfying.
