I’m a child therapist specializing in play therapy since 2001. I work with children ages 2-6 with stressors in their life impacting their social-emotional-behavioral development. Young children can show anxiety & depression symptoms related to: parental divorce/conflict, loss of a loved one, abuse (mental, physical, sexual, neglect), adjusting to changes at home & school. I have experience with families in urban, rural, and suburban areas. Contact me today if your child is struggling with anger/worry/fear/sadness at home/school/daycare. I’ll send you a patient information form and we’ll get the process started.

If you are just looking to just 'get rid' of anxiety, I may not be the therapist for you. Anxiety is a smoke detector. It scans our environment, our body, and our mind for signs of trouble. When it finds trouble, it sets off the alarm. So we need to address the fire, not the alarm. If you want to explore what it is that anxiety is trying to tell you, then I may just be the therapist for you.

Dedicated to assisting individuals, couples and families achieve emotional well-being, in the shortest time and with the greatest ease, I use the most highly effective methods of treatment. Years of experience with yoga and eastern psychology has shown me the wisdom of the inseparability of spirit-body-mind.

People! Am I right? People are complex and confusing—and not just other people. The most confusing people we know can be ourselves. Together we can explore how your past experiences have shaped who you are today. You will gain self-understanding, self-compassion, and begin to feel happier and more fulfilled. I can help you navigate unwanted emotions and get you ready to cope with any difficult life circumstances that arise in the future. My past clients have described me as “non-judgmental, kind, and someone who calls them on their bullshit.” If this sounds like what you are looking for, please email me!

Often in our lives we may encounter experiences which our current adaptive skills no longer serve us. Acceptance, compassion, and honesty with yourself can be challenging.

Sometimes our problems and pain are too much for us to manage on our own. I can help people understand their relationships with others and manage the challenges in their lives. My clients find me easy to talk to: I believe I know when to be quiet and when people need my help to talk about their suffering and struggles. Together my clients and I identify the troublesome patterns in their relationships - professional and personal - and figure out how to change those patterns. Sometimes I am there just to be with people as they acknowledge and bear what cannot be changed.

Making it to the “actively looking for a therapist” stage is a whole feat by itself- so let me begin by acknowledging what it takes to make it here. Therapy can require facing discomforts, and my goal is to help you approach what is uncomfortable in a way that is empowering and brings you closer in touch with your inner strength. My therapeutic style is warm and action oriented. I am passionate about using evidence-based treatments in order to help you reduce your symptoms, gain coping skills, and experience more freedom!

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy.

Psychotherapy is at its best when a client and therapist work as a collaborative team.

Each client is unique and I strive to provide a therapy experience that is designed for the unique qualities and situation that each person brings.
