Life can be amazing and exciting and also difficult and hard. Sometimes these feelings are occurring all at the same time and life can feel out of control. I believe that individuals have the tools to come out victorious through life’s challenges and often just need a partner to help look at situations step by step.

The choice to begin therapy is a courageous one. I consider it a great privilege to partner with people as they work to improve various aspects of their lives. I provide a safe, empathetic, and warm environment to encourage exploration and personal growth. Everyone entering therapy has a unique set of goals; I work to meet those specific needs and desires through an eclectic approach of interpersonal, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and solution-focused therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I work from a strength-based approach to address issues that have been negatively affecting your daily life and overall sense of well-being.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you "medicating" anxiety or depression with food, alcohol, shopping, affairs, or other self-sabotaging band-aids? Are you achieving the goals you have set for yourself?

When children, teens, or young adults show mood or behavioral changes or are going through a difficult period of transition, I can help. In the supportive setting of therapy, we can find constructive ways to understand feelings, manage problem behaviors, and communicate effectively with others. We can work in a more open, exploratory way or a more structured, goal-oriented way depending on your individual needs. I also collaborate with parents and outside professionals for more wholistic care.

"HOPE" is the catalyst for the little voice you hear inside whisper "MAYBE" when it seems the entire world is shouting "NO." My objective is to aid each client in developing the capacity to hear that "whisper" by exploring their thoughts and feelings. I create a nonjudgmental, empathic, supportive and cozy environment for clients to view themselves and their world more positively. The goal of therapy is to change the way they live their lives. My goal is to transform that whisper of HOPE into a voice they learn to embrace and trust when challenges in their lives arise.

My client-centered approach allows for freedom and encourages you to explore and move through your therapeutic process in your own time. My approach provides unconditional positive regard, appreciation, as well as the absence of judgment, and can allow for the reparation of suffering from a wide range of illnesses. My clinical experience focuses on integrating psychotherapy, visual arts practice and engaging the creative power of art for clinical assessment and treatment. My approach meets you where you are with empathy and compassion, while simultaneously helping to create a secure space for you to explore, repair and build.
