Many people wait too long to call a therapist. They are suffering and think things might get better on their own. By waiting people just feel worse or relationship issues become even more complicated. Psychotherapy helps you find new pathways for healing, untangling life's challenges to arrive at greater clarity and peace. I make that process as comfortable as possible by being authentically present, connected, & open. An active listener to the issues you bring forth. It is my goal to establish a collaborative alliance with you so we can enable positive change leading to a deep sense of well being.

Change and growth are tough. My goal as your therapist is to aide you to move from being stuck in your life to creating a life that is in alignment with your true self. I would be honored to assist you and/or your child in gaining the skills and insight necessary for your growth.

Today is a new day to start your journey to a happier life. I strive for change. Together I can help you take an active role in deepening your self awareness and self understanding.

I have been told that when a client meets with me, either in-person or on-line (Zoom, Skype, FaceTime), that they feel safe. This safety allows a person to communicate with me their feelings, thoughts and goals. My primary objective is to help a client understand these by focusing on their strengths and continually guiding them towards their goal. Through this process, clients are able to see what obstacles have been in their way that has prevented them achieving their goal/s.

Are you anxious more than ever, feeling “off” or “not like yourself” lately, facing relationship issues, or maybe you’re tired of holding everything in and ready to talk to someone? If you answered yes to any, you’ve come to the right place. In our sessions you will find that therapy is a meaningful conversation that takes place in a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgemental space where YOU set the pace and where we can identify conflict and options, make efforts toward self-growth, and pursue paths of change. My goal is to help you uncover your own motivation to change and empower you to be confident in the decisions you make.

Art therapy has a lot to offer adults and older adults who are looking to improve how they cope and adapt to difficult challenges and events. For those creative and not, art therapy is an active form of psychotherapy where you can express and process difficult issues where words fall short. If you are seeking help for depression, anxiety, pain management, grief, coping with life transitions, self-esteem/self confidence issues, or difficulty coping with medical challenges, this form of treatment can be highly effective. I also specialize in working with older adults and people affected by dementia.

Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and relational. What if you could find freedom from feelings of anxiety and depression. People are naturally motivated toward healing and recovery, and that an alliance with a supportive therapist, with whom you feel safe and comfortable, can facilitate this process. There is no template or single method that I use in my practice. Instead, we will determine the pace and style that is best for you. Throughout our work together, I will be open to and enthusiastic about the feedback you provide about the treatment. I will share my thoughts and assessments, with room for discussion.

You can feel better. I have been in private practice for 25 years and practiced for many more years in a variety of other settings including a psychiatric hospital. There, I did teaching, clinical supervision of psychologists, group and individual therapy, and forensic psychology. I am trained in, and use a variety of methods and philosophies in the field as I have found that flexibility in approaching the diverse people I see is necessary. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and self esteem. I have experience with substance abuse and anger issues, and well as with life adjustment problems.

Therapy is ultimately meant to be a life altering process, from how you understand your personal challenges and problematic situations to how you choose your coping strategies and the options you see as possible for your life. It is my goal to guide and support you through this therapeutic experience to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your true self. Therapy starts where you are at, and it progresses one step at a time. I approach my clients with commitment, integrity and a vision of positive growth.

My practice focuses on helping to heal relationships. This starts with learning how to communicate more effectively & taking ownership of what needs to change in order for the relationship to progress. Common communication errors are at the root of most arguments. I can help you to identify your triggers and teach you and your partner how to respect one another so everyone feels heard. I will teach you how to set & achieve small goals each week, that will positively change your lives. I provide straightforward advice & will help you & your partner or you alone until your partner is ready to take the first BIG step into therapy.

I work with various clients in order to improve their lifestyle, to enhance their "psychological vitality". I approach each client with respect and sensitivity, and view myself as working alongside each individual towards creating more fulfilling opportunities, while reducing long standing negative patterns.
