Grief, trauma and systemic oppression have increasingly become visible and universal experiences affecting individuals, couples, families and communities. I began my career working with the survivors of intimate partner violence and individuals/families grappling with cancer and death. These experiences have informed my practice working with individuals, couples and families dealing with loss, grief, trauma, anxiety/depression, major life changes, chronic illness, abuse and relational distress.

Life is challenging, sometimes it can feel like we aren’t made for the pace that is asked of us in today’s world. The result can feel like disconnect, overwhelm, or even depression and anxiety. Therapy can help. It is clear to me in my work, and in my own life, that once we start paying attention to our pain, we can do something about it. Having a guide in that process can make it simpler and more effective. Everyone is unique and as individuals what we need can take time to uncover and incorporate into our daily lives.

I am a clinical psychologist with a background in utilizing evidence based practice with individuals across the life span and functioning spectrum, including elite athletes, individuals with clinical psychopathology, and individuals interested in exploring their self-identity. I seek to create a collaborative therapeutic environment, in which I empower clients to better understand themselves, while assisting them to strengthen the skills necessary for elite performance and functioning. In my practice, I incorporate cognitive and behavioral strategies, in addition to mindfulness, acceptance, and interpersonal approaches.

**Accepting New Clients** Life can be overwhelming, confusing, disappointing, and painful. Life can be very fast-paced, and it can be very difficult in knowing how to keep up. If you’re feeling depressed, or having difficulty with friendships/relationships/family/job, therapy can help. Are the experiences earlier in your life (childhood and/or early adulthood) impacting you now? Is it difficult to make healthy choices? Do you have anger issues? Do you struggle to share emotions that are natural and more vulnerable? Therapy can aid a person in making healthy choices, and improve your daily decision-making.

Let's explore the causes and mechanisms that make your problems what they and create a plan to confront and resolve those issues to protect your mental health.
