I use humor, empathy, and cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT) to help people struggling with issues ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma, co-dependency and sex & love addiction / compulsivity.
I help individuals and couples clarify and strengthen their relationship goals. Learning how to build more satisfying relationships leads to lasting change and empowerment. Old, less helpful ways of thinking are replaced with new, more realistic ideas of self-acceptance and how to rely on others. The result is a clearer picture of one's strengths, limitations, and belonging in the world.

I incorporate a model of treatment that includes cognitive modalities, emotional regulation, stress management, coping skills, behavior modification, and ways to address the unconscious processes and how they express themselves.
Establishing a sense of wholeness and direction in our lives is often revealed once obstacles are known and cleared. This process of self discovery is far more potent and transformational when working with a therapist who can help navigate these unfamiliar places. My practice is largely informed by the personal experience of profound grief. Journeying through these difficult waters allows me to uniquely empathize and assist my clients through life struggles and losses.
