Whether you have been struggling with a long-term issue like depression or anxiety, or have only more recently found yourself facing a difficult life change, finding a therapist who works with your particular strengths in a warm, supportive environment who is also challenging can mean the difference between spinning your wheels and creating meaningful change. Utilizing a blend of evidence-based solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral and family systems interventions, I will work collaboratively with you and possibly other important people in your life to identify your unique goals and develop a treatment plan to address your needs.
I work with couples experiencing conflicts, lack of intimacy and sometimes affairs. Another of my passions is supporting women through the challenges of menopause. With an extensive background in education and child/adolescent development, I'm ready to empower you through the many ups and downs of parenting effectively with both love and consistency.
Because choosing a therapist is a personal decision, I will check in with you after our first few sessions and periodically throughout treatment to make sure you are comfortable moving ahead and to track progress. Many clients are happy with their results after as few as 8 sessions.

Some of the top issues my clients present with are anxiety, depression and relationship issues. During our initial sessions, we'll collaborate to create a plan to identify and address the issues at hand. I also specialize in mid life issues, including the midlife changes, menopause, and the search for meaning in the second half of life. Younger clients are welcome, as well.
