I specialize in helping individuals and couples with anger-management, trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression. My goal is to help people improve their communication skills so that they can express their needs, and feel understood, rather than continue to feel stuck and alone. I am also experienced with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) which helps people cope with stress, and prevents them from getting caught up in negative cycles.

Relationships are complicated and often very stressful and upsetting. I work with people who are grappling to communicate better with the most important people in their lives. Wanting to be heard, understood, supported and loved is human nature. This can sometimes be a challenge without outside, neutral help. Misunderstandings often can get in the way of intimate relationships, leaving each person feeling alone, disillusioned and their actions misconstrued. I see my job as someone who can help navigate these confusing dynamics and openly talk about the possible underlying feelings that led to these behaviors in the first place.

We all experience times in our lives when we feel that life is out of balance. Perhaps there is sadness, or longing. Something doesn't feel quite right. Or Maybe we experience the effects of past or present trauma and feel disconnected from ourselves or others. With presence and warmth my goal is to provide a nurturing environment where you can explore, process, and develop insight into why life feels the way it does. I'll strive to help you find sure footing as you navigate the uncertainties of life, and develop a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Change is often initiated when the discomfort from pain is worse than the discomfort from fear of change. People can embrace their resiliencies and connect to a sense of purpose in order to overcome that fear. The act of reaching out for help is a courageous first step.

Finding the right therapist can be a challenging task. I've discovered that many people are looking to work on aspects of themselves but struggle with knowing where to start and how to sustain meaningful change. Sometimes it is a matter of feeling heard and other times we seek direct guidance and feedback. We often need to develop the language to better understand what is happening and to place things in a useful context. No matter what you are looking for, I believe that creating an environment of trust, compassion, empathy and understanding is critical to the process.
