I use an eclectic approach and work with all ages with all kinds of problems. I have been a psychotherapist for over 35 years, and my approach has developed over time. I believe that everyone is different and responds to different forms of treatment. I enjoy working with anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and how to deal with their problems, whether in their families, their work, or their relationships.

People seek therapy at many different points in their lives. Some come because something isn’t working the way it used to. Others are carrying stress, grief, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to shift. Many are simply looking for a space where they can slow down, reflect, and be met with care rather than judgment.
My work is rooted in helping clients feel more regulated, understood, and capable in their daily lives. Together, we look at how past experiences, current stressors, and relational dynamics shape emotions, behaviors, and choices.

We all know what anxiety feels like. We get butterflies in our stomachs, our hearts pound; we worry and fret, or feel jittery. This can happen when we are alone, in social contexts, elevators, in the car, or even just thinking about it. If worries and fears, anxiety, panic, or insomnia related to anxiety are preventing you from living your life the way you’d like, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. In short it is our body’s response to a perceived threat.

I work with people who are dealing with more than just “stress.” They’re navigating painful relationships, identity questions, trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working—but they don’t always know how to talk about it yet.
I’m especially comfortable working with people who feel overwhelmed, shut down, or unsure where to begin. Whether you’re a teen trying to make sense of what you’re feeling, or adult facing major life decisions, I offer a space where you can be honest—even about the hard things.
My approach: kind, but direct. I will meet you with compassion, and I will also challenge you when it matters.

Couples Counseling with a therapist who “gets it” is often just what is needed for a relationship that is struggling, in conflict, on its last legs, or when it is going through transition. Sometimes relationships are in crisis due to infidelity or the discovery of pornography use. Couples counseling is proven to be very helpful in these situations, resolving relationship conflicts such as sexual problems, financial conflict, disagreements over parenting issues, or communication problems among other issues that arise in relationships.

Sometimes life gets complicated and the uncertainty and options can be overwhelming. I am a firm believer in creating accommodations and striving for self-compassion and acceptance. If you're ready to begin getting unstuck, I'll meet you where you're at and help guide you to where you want to be. I believe that we as humans are wired for connection and at times unhealthy relationships are all we know.

Problem gambling is one of the most hidden addictions in the U.S. due to the shame and stigma associated with gambling problems. Many people still mistake problem gambling for a moral problem or simply see it as poor choice making, rather than understanding the complex brain hijacking that problem gambling is for some people who can’t quit. Several neurotransmitters including dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, opioids, to name a few, are acting simultaneously on the brain during problem gambling.

Being present and in charge of your mental health right now can feel impossible. It’s hard to feel like you have a grip on everything all the time and be a “functional human” within society. I personally believe healing starts with understanding yourself, your patterns, and your needs. Learning the why behind your emotions and behaviors can be deeply empowering, and I’m here to support you through that process! I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, intimacy concerns, and identity exploration, always through a lens of empathy, and respect.

As a seasoned clinician, I practice full-hearted, relational therapy and counseling with clear focus and humor! Only if the relationship fits, and you are ready for in depth work: a) heal past trauma(s); b) look for deeper meaning/direction in your life through Jungian exploration of the unconscious (dream work, archetypes, shadow/body work, active imagination, etc.), which is often experiential; c) address anxiety about these times in a women's group. I also bring in sociological issues of oppression, racism, patriarchy, etc., as relevant, and have strong background in Buddhist meditation and Celtic spiritual pagan practice.
