Clients seek therapy for various reasons; however, there are struggles I have more experience in treating. The age between 18 and 30 is a pivotal time in a person's life as they discover who they are. This age group undergoes depression, anxiety, the processing of childhood and current trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Clients this age typically undergo a life transition involving family, education, beliefs, the onset of various diagnoses, and finances. My treatment includes a lot of self-discovery, emotion regulation, and boundary setting to help clients process the past, cope with the present, and be hopeful for the future.

Finally deciding to seek out therapy can often feel overwhelming. Finding the "right fit" with a therapist means taking emotional risks to get the support you deserve. I work to help women regain or perhaps discover for the first time, a sense of inner peace. My practice incorporates holistic, somatic & integrative approaches addressing a wide range of mental health challenges with a focus on trauma recovery. 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.

I work with my clients using a variety of approaches in a collaborative effort to help them reach their defined goals. Together we focus on wellness, self-responsibility and empowerment. For over 40 years I have helped individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, marital conflict and any other issues contributing to distress. Because I have been in private practice for decades, I have had the benefit of having past clients keeping me informed of their progress, sharing their joys and triumphs through the years.

I provide clients with a safe and confidential space to process and manage many of life's transitions. I believe that treatment should be tailored to you and your own unique needs. Therapy can be focused on different areas of your life such as improving your mood, exploring various identities, improving your ability to manage your emotions, exploring family issues, parenting, processing interpersonal problems or just wanting to enhance your quality of life.

We see the world through the filter of our beliefs. These beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world influence our interpretations of the experiences we have. They exert power over our emotions and behaviors. Sometimes our beliefs cause dysfunction in our lives, causing depression, anxiety, or low self-worth. They can dampen motivation, inhibit our behavior, and disrupt our relationships. Inaccurate, dysfunctional beliefs can trap us in a self-fulfilling prophecy, as when, for instance, a belief that we are incompetent causes us to avoid new opportunities, resulting in outcomes that make us feel even more incompetent.

Do you find yourself wanting to feel happier, feel less stressed or want to be calmer? My counseling approach is focused on using positive psychology to help achieve a happier, more fulfilling life. I believe in focusing on one's strengths, while working on one's weaknesses. I believe strengthening self-esteem is one of the keys to helping conquer any issue. I routinely treat people suffering from depression, anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, eating disorders, and everyday stress. I also provide clinical supervision to LACs and fully licensed professionals seeking support.

My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients. I offer compassion and empathy while collaborating with clients to explore the issues that brought them to therapy, navigate challenges, attain goals, and examine the ways that past experiences and relationships influence the present.

All types of life experiences can effect how you feel about yourself and others. Your experiences form the lens through which you view your world, and your relationships. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, sexual issues, for example, emerge when old when the lens becomes clouded, or when ways of coping are no longer effective. As client and therapist, we will work together to address your particular concerns. We will focus on understanding your personal story and, with equal importance, on the development of a more effective repertoire of skills that you can use in order to feel better.
