Relationships are the cornerstone of our lives. When our connection to others—and ourselves—is suffering, we in turn suffer. Perhaps you’ve been feeling out of step with your feelings and suspect that events from your past may be contributing to your difficulties relating to others currently. Maybe you've been feeling disconnected, stuck, or misunderstood in your marriage, and the loneliness is draining you. Maybe you have started to recognize that family dynamics from childhood have been impacting communication in your current relationships. No matter the context, you long for real and meaningful connection with the ones you love.

Hello, thank you for reading my profile. Life is beautiful and we try to make the best of it, but due to stresses and unexpected factors it becomes difficult to maintain a balance between ourselves and the people surrounding us. I believe in a holistic approach to treat the human mind. I provide psychotherapy services for adolescents and adults to address depression, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem issues, concern in personal and work relationships. I have specialized training in traumatic events like sexual assault, grief and chronic illness as well as anger management, conflict resolution, life coaching and problem solving.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my approach to therapy. My goal is to help you feel validated and well-supported as you work on increasing your coping skills and gaining valuable insights about yourself, your situation and your options for moving forward. My style is interactive, collaborative and client-centered. I use a variety of evidence-based interventions to help my clients create lasting positive changes. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I spent 12 years working as a trauma-informed massage therapist, teacher and mentor in the bodywork community.

Psychotherapy can be very helpful to many people who find life more difficult than they would like it to be. Starting psychotherapy is not easy and I will help you navigate appropriate treatment choices. When you come in, I will listen carefully to what you are going through. It is important for me that you feel safe and respected. Together we will try to understand your challenges and begin to make helpful changes. You will not be labeled. We will figure out the goals of treatment and work towards your goals at your own pace.

My clinical expertise is in issues related to emotional regulation, trauma, loss, and early life attachment experiences. I have a particular interest in supporting parents of young children (particularly at this time and in relationship to COVID-related school and care transitions). My approach can broadly be described as insight oriented and rooted in attachment, relational, and interpersonal theories as well as self-psychology. My expertise rests on meaningful personal experiences and on continuing rigorous training and teaching.

I specialize in integrative psychotherapy for a broad spectrum of individuals who experience anxiety, depression, and life changing events that cause emotional discomfort, fear, or mourning. My goal is to educate and empower my clients to take charge of their lives.

I offer help with managing high level of stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. In my practice, I use an integrative approach that includes several evidence-based techniques. The foundation of my method is empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard.

Accepting New Clients! Is your mind spinning with worries and endless "to-do" lists? Are you critical of yourself and you never feel good enough? If you have lost touch with who you really are or what you really want out of life, counseling can help you find yourself. If you are someone who usually takes care of everyone else, let me help you start taking care of yourself as well. My clients are regular, everyday women who struggle with life's overwhelming issues: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, difficulty being assertive, past trauma, insecurities, people pleasing and difficult life transitions.

Our responses to life experiences can certainly leave us feeling choiceless, out of control, and stuck. There can be a sense of feeling lost and unsure of how to move forward. You continue moving through it, and you may even feel you’ve been functioning but not really living…This would feel incredibly unsettling to anyone. As a member of the military for over 20 years, I understand that feeling, and the impacts of minor and major life changes. These changes shift our world view, our relationships, and how we see ourselves. You may have tried multiple ways of coping, but traditional approaches haven't produced the change you want.
