Every human being faces struggles in life; and making the decision to seek professional help can be a difficult choice. I have been working in the field of mental health for twenty-nine years and have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. My focus, primarily, is in dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, situational stress, divorce, PTSD, and alcohol and drug abuse/addiction. I believe that the therapeutic process thrives when there is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. Respect and unconditional positive regard are paramount in my private practice.

I provide psychodynamic therapy to individuals (ages 14+) and couples. This type of therapy addresses the underlying causes and meanings of unwanted symptoms and dysfunctional patterns. It heals by bringing unconscious content to consciousness and by fostering deeper relationships with parts of ourselves we previously ignored, denied or even disdained. Psychodynamic therapy is often well suited for those who haven’t responded well to other types of therapy.

Acceptance is a courtesy that is often given to others, but it is a consideration I see many people are quick to deny themselves. My goal is to help my clients create the awareness and flexibility to recognize that their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and memories do not define their identity. The human experience includes an array of wonderful and horrible experiences. It is the meaning we give to these experiences that allows for their space and control in our lives. I work with my clients to identify their values, be mindful of the present moment, and accept their thoughts and emotions without equating them to their worth.

More and more people in today's world and changing culture are feeling lost, isolated, hopeless and overwhelmed with emotions that seem to come from nowhere. My work focuses on helping people understand themselves, get unstuck, find hope and move forward with new found skills and perspectives. I combine the practicality of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with the depth of psychodynamic therapy to provide individuals and couples a safe, supportive space in which to understand the unhealthy patterns in their lives and explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and engaging with the world.

Creating change in your life can be hard. Sometimes it might feel as if situations in your life are so overwhelming that you don't even know where to begin. I am honored to assist you in navigating those changes and help you feel that you are not alone in meeting the challenges in front of you. It's important to feel in control of ourselves and, to some extent, the world around us. In an ideal therapeutic relationship, I believe that the client determines the direction and success of treatment. Let's put it this way, if we were to go on a journey together - you would be the driver while I would act as the "GPS" so to speak!

Children have to deal with many stressors in today's world. This is especially true of children in military families. Frequent moves, leaving old friends, making new friends, parent's deployments, adjusting to new places and schools, peer pressure and finding and maintaining emotional resilience are challenges many children must deal with. With military children, these events may occur over and over. Family dynamics change as a parent deploys then returns home to reintegrate back into the family. I can help children navigate these challenges and thrive.

When life comes at us, we may experience depression, anxiety, or struggle with the difficult changes, and we may need help to feel better equipped to manage these experiences. Sometimes people are questioning their own identity and how it fits in the world. Sometimes people try to manage relationships without the most effective approach and are looking for something different. We all experience difficulties in relationships at times and sometimes extra help with navigating the difficulties within relationships can make things easier.
