My specialty is a solution-based, action-oriented model. I counsel individuals, couples & families who are facing significant life transitions, including career/job, relationship/marriage, health/wellness, or specific goal-seeking issues.

By crafting a strategy to achieve personal and professional goals, including identifying the psychological barriers to achieving them, I help turn these goals into reality.

OPEN TO RETURNING CLIENTS ONLY. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults ages 13 to 30, but I do treat all adults. I have 20+ years of experience helping young people and their families negotiate major life transitions, relationship challenges, school related academic and social issues, as well as managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and substance abuse. I understand the neccesity of collaborating with families of teens and individualizing each person's treatment approach.

I believe that no problem is too small when seeking help in a difficult situation. My goal is to create a warm and comfortable place where clients can share, grow and gain balance and fulfillment in their lives.

My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where my clients feel comfortable to express themselves in their most authentic light. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). It has been my experience, that personal transparency has been most effective in developing a therapeutic relationship in helping others meet their needs while in treatment.

Are you struggling to cope with a difficult life transition? Navigating young adulthood, becoming a parent, grieving a loss, overcoming trauma, and similarly challenging moments can test our resilience. They demand flexibility, patience, and insight just when it is most difficult to access those skills. I specialize in helping clients reduce their suffering through these transitions and flourish into the future.

The ideal client is anyone who acknowledges they are open to change. As Yogi Berra famously said, "Ninety percent of this game is half mental, the other half is physical." Openness to thinking in new ways and then backing that up with new behaviors is crucial to successful change.

I want you to have the best life imaginable: to live in a body that can feel what it feels and with a mind that can know what it knows. I believe we heal through connection and relationship ; it is how we survive then thrive. Sometimes we need to make meaning of our experiences; sometimes we just want to manage or reduce unwanted symptoms and sometimes we need someone to simple be present- to sit and witness and listen or hold the silence. I hope you will find all these elements working with me and together we will walk the path to healing. Come in and let's explore together!

Study after study indicates that what "works" in therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. I create a strong relationship in which my clients feel safe and understood while sharing and exploring their lives. I conceptualize from a psychodynamic orientation and contour treatment to the specific needs of the individual.
