Therapy is about personal understanding, change, growth, and finding happiness within yourself. As a cognitive therapist, I help clients see the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and use this inner awareness to improve their day to day lives. I work with adolescents and adults in individual, family and couples therapy to overcome emotional and relational challenges that may be keeping them from achieving their goals and living happy, fulfilled lives. I have expertise in working with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting issues, prenatal and post-natal challenges, family stressors, illness and losses of all kinds.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all have the ability to grow and change if we have the necessary support, desire and tools. Through the therapeutic relationship and process, clients can improve the quality of their lives by gaining a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to help my clients gain courage and self awareness to live life fully. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and gestalt. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, illness, anxiety, depression, women's issues, postpartum depression and issues related to chronic health.

I’m so glad you’re here! Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily life stresses, relationship issues, or recent changes? Do you want to start to feel better soon? There are many aspects of our lives, our stories, our families, and our circumstances that we may not have chosen and may not be able to change. However, there ARE ways to work through these very important aspects of our lives. Therapy is a wonderful and fulfilling way to do just that. I provide services for life transitions, anxiety, depression, marital and premarital therapy, trying to conceive, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences, and other mental health concerns.

Can you relate? You find yourself swirling in thoughts of self-criticism. Worries and struggles with self-esteem are stopping you from living the life you deeply want. You’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” and find yourself shutting down because of it. You’re experiencing some big life changes and it’s bringing up grief and confusion. Maybe you want to build a family, but it feels like it won’t be possible. You’re trying to conceive or are pregnant, and finding it lonely and scary. You’re ready to dig through past hurts and family hang-ups to stop intergenerational cycles of poor boundaries, communication, and more…

Developing a trusting and supportive relationship is my highest priority. I want you to feel empowered by our work together and confident that you can continue to feel good for a long time. I will listen to your personal story and understand your goals and values. Then, I will teach you tools and strategies personalized for you, and we will practice them during and between sessions. We will reflect on your progress to make sure you are reaching your goals and living the life that you want. I work with adults, adolescents and college students.

My focus of interest is to become a therapeutic container to support the exploration of the mind-body connection within children and teens. I believe that the body carries valuable information about ourselves and our minds are actively trying to interpret it. I specialize in children who seek to improve their body awareness which provides coping skills for self-regulation, positive self-talk and overall physical/mental wellness. I have experience working with children with autism, adopted families, neurodivergent movers and people simply want a better connection with their bodies

Having extensive experience, I use empirically supported therapies, and have treated a wide range of ages as well as the most serious disorders. It is my belief that salient therapy treats a client in 3 different directions: top-down (spiritual dimension), inside out (healing of memories), and outside-in (Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). After a thorough assessment, I would identify with my client, determine problems on which to work, set appropriate goals, and determine the correct therapeutic intervention(s) to be used. Meeting those goals would be a therapeutic benchmark throughout the therapy.

My clients describe me as warm, compassionate and supportive. Our first steps will be creating a space where you feel safe. The therapy process is then guided by your needs and preferences. Together we will explore the issues that have brought you to therapy. Difficulties in life are normal. You are not alone. And you will have me by your side as we figure out what feels right for you, and what are the best ways for you to achieve your goals.

You’re a modern couple, building a career and a relationship. You notice the effort taking its toll. You’re ready to learn how to protect your spark, so that your love continues to thrive. Perhaps, it’s been too long since you experienced passion and fun with your partner, or, you're going through a relationship crisis. You remember when things were different, and you long to re-connect, and uncover the relationship you desire. Whether you are dating, living together, or married, I will help you face the realities in your relationship and grow through them.

I often view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients are those with medical illness or injury, caregivers, mothers, or trauma survivors who are faced with the impact that change in their physical self has on their mental and emotional well-being. Clients often wish to explore the mind-body connection, integrate non-verbal approaches, or find a new perspective on therapy. I also work with infants and children who deserve the same compassionate care, but don't benefit from verbal therapy in the same way.

You're tired of being "strong." Your old ways of coping no longer work, and your "symptoms" keep recurring despite your best efforts. Maybe you have recurring or chronic depression or anxiety, or are grieving a loss. You might be struggling with your creativity, or with your identity. You may suspect that your current struggles are rooted in childhood trauma, and yet, this insight hasn't led to much change... But what if it were true that the source of your suffering is also the key to positive, lasting transformation? I believe that it is, and I am honored to provide a safe space for you to heal, and to get to know your true self.

I am taking new clients! I can generally schedule new clients for a session within 2 business days.

Are you are always in battle with your spouse or partner? Has communication has broken down and you don’t know how to talk to each other anymore? Are you hurt because of things that were said in anger? Do you feel that no matter what you do, nothing is ever good enough or you’re not good enough? In most marriage or couples counseling, all things can be improved, changed and made better, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, fight fair and get what you want out of your relationship.
