Compassion, curiosity and consideration are at the center of my work. I offer an affirming, person-centered and non-judgmental space in which to collaborate with you on your pathway to growth, healing and understanding.

Have you ever left a therapy session feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry, depressed, or shut down? Have you ever gone to therapy and not had words to explain why you are seeking support? In my practice, I provide space for clients to explore their lives, their patterns, and their challenges and then, help them learn to regulate the nervous system so that they leave feeling, lighter, more relaxed, more at ease, and clearer than when they entered. Together we will focus on helping you build the life you want and help you digest experiences ready to be integrated.

I use an integrative and collaborative psychotherapeutic approach, working to nurture the relationship between my clients and myself, with curiosity, warmth, and humor. Some people like to resolve specific issues quickly. Others prefer a slower pace and an emphasis on safety and trust. Still others are eager for in-depth, insight-oriented therapy, delving into the past, searching for new meaning and ways of being. Whatever the intensity and focus, I seek to help people find ways to help lead fuller richer lives, alleviate distress, deal with life's challenges, and improve relationships.

Anxiety is a part of being human, but when worry, perfectionism, panic, rumination, intrusive/unwanted thoughts, compulsions & preoccupations take over, you may need new strategies. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, tics, insomnia, indecision, procrastination, depression and overeating & health. I work with children, adolescents and adults to manage these challenges and put into place tools that help you return to a full life again. I have over 28 years of experience offering compassionate, evidence based approaches for these symptoms. I also have expertise in ADHD, 2E, ASD & learning differences in children & adults.

My mission is to humanize those struggling with substance misuse. Silenced by others and labeled as “addicts,” people who use drugs are often dismissed without a voice. Ageism marginalizes older adults, as does racism to people of color, and classism to those of us without economic privilege. I dream of a just society in which the social worker role is obsolete. Until then, I hold space for those who wish to express, heal, and lead fulfilling lives in the face of systemic inequality. I also integrate arts-based approaches to clients who are interested.

Telemedicine Available. Do you find yourself struggling with addiction or relationship concerns? One of the hardest things for people to do is admit that they need help getting through challenging circumstances in their lives. Together we will focus on identifying problems, creating goals and objectives to help guide the therapeutic process.

A meaningful and attuned connection between therapist and client is the best predictor of a successful treatment. My first goal in our therapy is to develop a good understanding of your perspective, concerns and needs. I believe in working collaboratively with you to move in the direction you most wish to go. My areas of practice include psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, couples and families. I also provide consultation to study abroad programs and supervision for mental health professionals.

I have 30 years of experience in a range of settings with people of many different backgrounds. My professional experience in concert with my personal journey enable me to focus on the person in the room and strive to understand their unique needs, goals and how psychotherapy can help in this process. I believe that the psychotherapy relationship provides an ideal forum for helping people move towards optimal functioning framed by their values and goals. I provide a safe place to address issues of mood, thinking, behavior, transition, adjustment, interpersonal conflict, anxiety, trauma and any other life challenge.

Finally deciding to seek out therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and even increase uncomfortable feelings. Finding the "right fit" with a therapist means taking emotional risks to get the support you deserve. For many years I have worked to help individuals regain or perhaps even discover for the first time, a sense of inner peace. My practice incorporates holistic, somatic & integrative approaches to treat a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe "theory" is invaluable, however, experience and research shows that successful therapy is closely connected to the relationship that develops between therapist and client.

My goal in working with all who come into my office, be it child, adolescent or adult is healing. I founded The Nomad Center for Counseling out of a desire to offer healing in a compassionate and creative therapeutic setting regardless of culture or country of origin. I believe that each individual has an innate ability to heal and the capacity to move beyond the resolution of symptoms to a deeper, more authentic understanding of themselves and of life. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where people can allow their true selves to emerge, whether they are 4 or 74 years old.
