On the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all figured out, but beneath the surface, it's getting harder and harder to keep things together. You have dreams of the life that could be, but worry, stress, and self-criticism hold you back. You do so much for your career and your relationships, but always wonder if it’s enough. You wonder if YOU are enough. You’ve probably said to yourself, “I don’t NEED therapy, but…”, or “I should be able to deal with this on my own.” Let me assure you that whatever you’re going through, not only is it okay to ask for help, but it just may be the best step you can take toward living your best life!

ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. Everyone functions uniquely. I focus compassionately on emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships to examine patterns and slowly change them. Our ability to observe and use our will to change are the most powerful tools we possess to bring about changes we desire. Everyone experiences depression, anxiety, insecurities, doubt, and grief, but we can decide how to deal with life's changes, challenges, and transitions. Note: I do not accept insurance; instead, I take payment from you directly and you submit a receipt I give you to your insurance company for out of network benefits you may have.

Making the decision to engage in therapy can be challenging. It's important that you find a therapist you can connect with in order to have a fulfilling experience. The choice to work with me can be the basis for you to feel comfort in processing presenting issues and exploring needs for growth/change. My goal is to help you find comfort in this relationship and work together with you to explore your personal needs and desires for therapy. By using cognitive behavioral, strength based and mindfulness based treatments I will support you in this process.

Everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to in a safe and comfortable environment. Difficulties with life are universal, whether one struggles with work, career direction, addiction, relationships, communication, sexuality, discovering and pursuing one's interests and passions, creating and following through with goals, weight and body issues, self esteem, anxiety or depression. Our friends and family may have good intentions (though not always); usually, they are biased or may want to shift the conversation to talk about themselves. Therapy is a special opportunity to focus on oneself and have the support, attention and incisiveness of a trained individual.
