No matter how frustrated you feel right now, let your dreams guide you. Knowing what you want is a good start. Then together we can address what stands in your way --anxiety, fear, depression, old patterns, troubled relationships. Everyone wants success and love yet with all the seeming options, the basics may be harder than ever to achieve. Knowing when to stick with a relationship, when to leave, how to get and give the love you want; knowing how to parent, how to find the work you want, how to succeed once you find it. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want to live up to their own potential.

I believe we are all born whole and therefore inherently know our own truth. Through years of external judgements and internal doubts, we lose this connection. Healing comes from within. My role is to facilitate the reconnection with your core self to promote healthier, satisfying relationships within yourself, family friends and the world at large.

I believe that awareness is the first step toward positive change. Awareness can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and help refocus you to the future instead of the past. Through a strong therapeutic relationship I provide a combination of support and challenge, which can help cultivate trust, confidence and assertiveness. I work with my clients collaboratively to develop interventions that consider the individual needs and strengths of my clients.

Welcome to the ADHD Club! You may be reading this because you are trying to find a provider who actually understands the abstract mind of ADHD. Besides the typical symptoms of lack of focus and difficulty sitting still, you may also be experiencing feelings of being too intense around others, brain fog, job hopping, not feeling smart enough or ‘lazy,' procrastinating tasks, and the inner critic that causes shame and guilt. But what if I told you having ADHD is a gift? As an Art Therapist, I have taken multiple trainings on ADHD and Giftedness, specializing in ADHD adults.

Somewhere along the way life started feeling like an unwanted gift with a no-return policy. It continues to feel hard, heavy and burdensome. You want something better than the status quo because what you feel is unhappy, overwhelmed, and misunderstood. You are ready to feel heard in a safe and warm space. I work to help my clients find relief from their difficult feelings that are rooted in some of the most painful moments of their lives. Together we will explore the chapters of your life - uncovering where you are feeling “stuck”- or why that random thing about that random person is still gnawing at you years later.

I am accepting new clients and have current availability for after school and evening appointments. One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent is seeing your child in pain and feeling like there is nothing that you can do to help. Have you become increasingly concerned about your child's behavior at home or school? Do you worry that your child is struggling with day to day functioning? Are their behaviors difficult to understand and manage? Does the smallest thing seem to trigger your child? Is your teen withdrawing and not engaging in activities that once brought them joy? Is your teen engaging in harmful behaviors?

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for a person to feel heard, to be respected, and to be understood. Each individual is unique and therefore no one issue is ever the same among different people. I utilize an integrative approach to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". Trust is paramount in the therapeutic setting and I strive to create a safe and empathetic environment to facilitate growth.

Despite having reached the pinnacle of my profession after nearly two decades of practice, it was my own struggle with learning disabilities, dual diagnosis and other medical conditions and issues, that changed my perspective and my life. I came to appreciate an approach which focuses on the here and now; solution focused and goal oriented. I found little solace in traditional therapeutic approaches which focused largely on the past, and went on for months with no real relief nor positive impact on my life or functioning. As such, I strive to help my clients achieve their goals and actualize their dreams using a coaching approach.
