I am a former software programmer and have helped many from the tech industry navigate mental health issues related to their work. Many of the people I work with are seeking relief from social anxiety, management of depressive symptoms and a better work/life balance.

Sometimes in life we need someone to come along side us and walk with us for a while on our journey. I would describe myself as a sojourner. I provide a positive, nonjudgmental environment to see individuals as they work on addressing challenges they are facing. I work with teens and adults to address issues including depression, anxiety, infertility, life transitions, grief and loss along with parenting related stressors. Some of my speciality areas include: Postpartum issues, maternal mental health and EMDR. I also provide help to other professionals to address secondary trauma, compassion fatigue and "burn out".

I am a Psychotherapist who is dedicated to working with children, adolescents, adults and families. My approach is warm, collaborative and down to earth. My specialties include supporting clients who are struggling with socialization, depression, anxiety, parenting and relational issues, self esteem, grief and loss, anger problems, attention deficit disorders, trauma and transitions. I entered the field in 2004 and have worked in schools, foster care agencies and private practice settings. With compassion and understanding, I work with individuals to help them build on their strengths and attain personal growth, ease and well-being.

Accepting New Clients! You try so hard to be helpful, responsible, to be there for others, yet have a sense that you are invisible to them. Worried thoughts and an uneasy sensation in your stomach warn you that your relationships aren’t going as smoothly as you’d like. You have a lingering sense of anxiety, guilt, or like you just aren’t getting it right. These are challenging things to deal with alone. I want to help you find your way to calm, balance, and connection.

As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, my primary aim is to offer and provide you with the optimal quality of personalized care possible. That means, in part, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate assessment of your aims and strengths, as well as a close examination of the challenges, issues, and goals that bring you to my office. I respect your courage to confront your possible confusion and frustration, your pain and suffering, and your search for actionable solutions and meaningful life. I honor your sharing relevant personal history and strivings, and my commitment is to work together to enhance your quality of life.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 16 years. My approach to therapy is to create a respectful, supportive, and non-judgmental environment in which to explore problems and patterns and work toward health and healing. Anxiety, depression, school and relationship issues, and family adjustment to loss, separation or divorce are some of the more common reasons individuals and families seek my consultation. Our work may be focused on understanding problems, developing skills to more effectively manage symptoms or behaviors, or improving relationships. I also provide support to parents with managing children's behaviors.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and other symptoms can take away the ability to enjoy life, and make it difficult to remain socially connected and maintain good interpersonal relationships. Life circumstances, mental or physical illness, coping with transitions, and unexpected events increase stress, and contribute to feeling overwhelmed and helpless. I will work to help you find a way through these painful experiences, reduce unwanted symptoms, and improve quality of life. If you are struggling with painful symptoms or situation, call me today and we can begin working on the life you want to be living.

Believing that children are born with great potential, I have a passion for working with children, adolescents, and their families. When approaching therapy, I understand the importance of fostering a trusting and collaborative relationship in which clients can feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and life challenges.

My services are provided in a professional and respectful manner, while maintaining the utmost confidentiality.

Are negative thoughts taking over your life? Is something causing stress in your life? Perhaps you have goals you want to reach or habits you want to adopt or drop, but nothing you try seems to work. Maybe you feel unaccepted by others or struggle to set and keep boundaries.

Finding the right therapist is sometimes difficult. Therapy starts with finding someone who matches your personality and developing a relationship with an individual that you can trust. I believe in learning about who you are, the complete picture, and helping you define and achieve the goals that are important to you. No judgment, just a safe place to work through things you would otherwise bottle up. I will challenge you to feel things, learn to choose better paths even when normally you might choose the same old thing that makes you feel stuck.
