If you've reached this page you are likely seeking a different kind of conversation. One in which all of you will be heard in a spirit of safety and respect, without judgment or criticism. A conversation which may activate your native abilities to understand, tolerate, and ease internal stress, gain genuine insight into troubling relationships, and develop more ease and control over the challenges in living that each of us faces daily.

When I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I made it a point to meet with patients before reading their chart. As a clinical supervisor of graduate-level social work students, I emphasized the importance of listening without the cloud of a diagnosis and repeated histories. Emotions need to be heard, whether in the form of fierce opinions or protective language. This can happen, in conversation, if the therapist is able to shed or expose known competing biases.

Feeling depressed and down? Struggling with anxiety? Suffering from panic attacks? Dealing with obsessive compulsive behavior? Unhappy with your life style and looking for a positive change? Burnout from stress? I am here to offer the best help. My goal is to create a supportive environment for my clients where they feel safe and secure. Together, we will work on learning new coping skills and strategies in order to help you get better and stay well.

Addictions, depression and/or negative thinking patterns can take a serious toll on one's mental health, leading to increased depression, stress, anxiety and declining physical health. These thought patterns CAN be changed and addictions eliminated so that you can live your best life. I provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment, where with the right treatment and guidance, I will help you navigate through some of life’s challenges and help you find meaning and purpose in your life. As psychiatrist Victor Frankl stated: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

Are you a 20 or 30 something looking to make sense of the confusing changes life so often throws our way? Like a musician, I'll teach you how to 'read the 'chord changes' of your life story to create more interesting music. I specialize in working with artists and show how deepening your personal work expands your craft. Similarly, I love showing non-artists how their psychological work can increase and open up creativity they didn't realize was right in front of them!

I believe that any person who is motivated to change can benefit from psychotherapy. My approach is create a collaborative relationship with each client in the interests of personal development.

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

What makes an authentic life? How do we create a meaningful existence, while making our way through the unexpected twists and turns in our path? As an engaged and compassionate psychotherapist, I will companion you in navigating major life transitions, relationships, identity issues, family, career conflicts or creative blocks. We will identify and shift long-standing patterns that no longer serve growth, while working together to reduce symptoms that prevent you from living a fulfilling life. Disruptive patterns and symptoms also carry the seeds for change if we listen carefully and connect with their deeper currents of meaning.

Choosing the right therapist can make all the difference. You may be someone who understands that a behavioral issue is getting in the way of successful relationships at work or at home, but can't figure out how to change it. You may be someone who is going through a life transition such as the birth of a new baby, career change, retirement, or loss of a partner. You may feel anxious, down, or have a general inability to feel happy. Together we can enhance your appreciation of yourself and those around you.
