You feel burned out and like you’ve lost touch with who you are. It’s exhausting feeling hurt about your past, disconnected in your relationships, or living a life that’s out of step with your true self. You want to build a life where you feel authentic, peaceful, connected, and whole, where you have the energy to make a difference in the world.

I believe in the ability of people to heal and recover from traumatic life situations including alcohol and drug issues and to learn to make good life choices in the process. I see my job as a therapist as helping empower my clients so that they can move through the seasons of life making good life decisions and learning to solve problems creatively and successfully. I am also family mediator and work extensively with couples going through transition.

Are you in a time of transition? Navigating pregnancy, the postpartum period, returning to work, or transitions in your family or household can feel overwhelming and lonely. Our identities and partnership shift often during these years, and you may be experiencing anxiety, frustration with your partner or spouse, intrusive thoughts, depression, or just a sense of overwhelm with the adjustment. Having someone to talk to and problem solve with can bring clarity and a sense of normalcy during a time filled with change.

I work with both women and children. I know that trying to conceive, pregnancy, and postpartum can all have their unique challenges, and I am passionate about supporting those going through each of these stages. I also am passionate about providing services to children who need additional support due to behavioral issues in the home, school, or community, and I have worked with children ranging from toddlers to teenagers.

I work with kids and adult women . If you have a kid who has experienced something stressful – abuse, neglect, divorce, medical ailments, multiple moves, etc. – and is anxious, angry, sad, distrustful, clingy and more, I will work with your child and you to effectively deal with what has happened and decrease problematic behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. If you are an adult woman who has mild stress for whatever reason and you either want to alleviate that stress or just want someone outside your personal world to talk with, I will work with you to meet your goal.

I work with late adolescents, individuals and couples. Sexual and relationship issues are a major part of my practice as I am a certified sex therapist. Over the years I have helped hundreds of individuals and couples deal with issues of intimacy and sexuality. In addition, I am a forensic psychologist, meaning I conduct psychological evaluations in most of the forensic areas including child custody, personal injury, and disability. This is very satisfying, if challenging work. Psychologists make meaningful contributions to the legal arena and I have extensive experience as an expert witness.

Anxiety is high for most people right now, but when your usual coping skills are falling short and your normal supports are unavailable, learning ways to build or bolster your inner resources can be a lifesaver. When making a choice to seek therapy, establishing a relationship of trust, safety and respect with a trained and experienced practitioner is the first important step. My practice is open to adults at any stage of transition or life-stage, their families, friends and partners. I am a cis-gender woman with over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist and advocate.

My passion for psychotherapy comes from a belief that all humans need to feel connected and supported, especially through times of transition. I believe in meeting clients where they are, recognizing the individual needs and establishing a supportive relationship that encourages positive growth and change while helping clients navigate challenges so that they might find more meaning and purpose in their life. I specialize primarily in working with those who are experiencing perinatal mental health concerns, trauma, anxiety, and adjustment to life phases.

I specialize in helping women who are struggling with anxiety, codependency, and/or trauma to overcome past painful learning experiences, so they can flourish without fear or regret. If you have found yourself feeling hopeless. Experiencing years of repeated disappointment and relationship failures. Confused because no matter how good your intentions are or how hard you work, life just is not working out the way you thought it would. Then we need to talk. You don't need to let your past keep you trapped in fear and disappointment. There is hope. I can help you set a new path.

Sometimes in life we may find ourselves in a “stuck” place, repeating the same unproductive patterns and losing our joy and hope. It is not easy to navigate some transitions and relationship difficulties. At these times, one of the best ways to handle life’s problems is to reach out for help. I would love to join you in your growth process to address the difficulties you or a loved one may be experiencing and to help you find the ways you want to move forward. I offer you the respect and acceptance you deserve, sharing my warmth and life experience, without judgment.

The first step in any change is realizing that you want or need a change in the first place. As a therapist, I utilize a strength-based approach to allow clients to learn and hone in on the skills they already possess in order to make the changes they desire in their lives. In our sessions, I will act like a mirror, helping you to gain insight, discover patterns, and learn about the obstacles that are in the way of your happiness. I am committed to helping my clients discover their goals and create a path to personal growth.

I am trained in EMDR and work successfully with patients who suffer from traumatic experiences. I have extensive experience in the treatment of substance abuse and addictions. I enjoy working with both men, women and teens. I believe clients have the answers to their problems and the job of a therapist is to assist them in discovering the answers.

Internally you are feeling a rollercoaster of emotions, and this imbalance is affecting your relationships, work life and overall sense of wellness.

You feel that the next step is to reach out for support and form a relationship with someone that can assist you with healing, improving overall wellness and moving past these barriers to your ideal life.
