Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!

I believe a transformation story is a very powerful thing. Are you ready to begin yours? Maybe some of these are familiar to you: relationship heartbreak, isolation, procrastination, career pressure, emotional chaos or persistent confusion about your life’s direction. If they are, I understand that you may feel so broken down and sliding into doubt and bitterness about your role as the hero in the story of your life. You know...the hero you once believed you were meant to be.

Through my valued relationship with my clients, I help them take the steps they need to make every relationship they have be the most gratifying.
Every phase of life brings a new challenge, whether our own or of someone we care about. Sometimes, we need a little extra help to successfully get through yet another phase. Those are the times to seek therapy. I would like to empower you to help yourself by taking that step to improve your and possibly your loved one's quality of life. As a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a professional woman, I have an intricate ability to understand the struggles that one might face in life as we transition in and out of each of these roles, daily.

What makes every practice unique is the relationship between client and therapist.
My goal is to help people open up and discover new aspects of themselves. I believe that every person has a unique and interesting story. I work towards deconstructing problem-saturated narratives and thickening thin descriptions that lead to unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors.

While I specialize in relationship issues, sexuality, and ADHD, after over 20 years as a psychologist, I feel comfortable working with a bit of everything.
For both individuals and couples, we'll work to address the root of the problem in order to create long-term change and growth. While I'm good at helping people build copings skills, I'm best at addressing issues that arise around relationships trauma, sexuality, identity, and self-esteem. We will work toward helping you feel and function better while wrestling with the deeper, messier issues at the root of the problem.

My practice includes people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, infertility, adoption, postpartum, pregnancy loss, parenting issues, grief, loss and elder care.
Asking for help, is a strength, not a weakness. Almost everyone experiences some sort of mental health struggle over a lifetime, because being human can sometimes be hard. While these moments can feel overwhelming, they are also an invitation to grow. I believe the therapeutic experience must be grounded within a foundation of compassion and collaboration. I value a client-centered, solution-focused and holistic approach when working with people and together we can expand awareness of the sources of ones challenges and move in the direction of desired changes and personal growth.

I see people for a range of issues, but I have developed a special interest and focus in the following areas: Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, eating disorders, self-sabotaging behaviors, trauma, insecurity about making changes, loneliness and emotional isolation.
Many of us have gone through experiences that leave us feeling stuck, unmotivated, or without hope for change. The promise of psychotherapy is that it offers a path that illuminates the conscious and unconscious limiting beliefs we unknowingly come to identify with. It allows us a framework where insight becomes possible - and the opportunity for a relationship that is dedicated to knowing you deeply. In this sense, I believe we are partners working to understand your motivations, fears, and deepest hopes so that you can feel a greater sense of freedom and empowerment in your life and in your future.

With more than 20 years of experience, I work effectively with clients struggling with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and relationship problems.
I am happy to see the recent focus on the importance of mental health. After a pandemic, difficult social change, and economic uncertainty, it is normal to feel anxiety about the future. I am down to earth and easy to talk to which helps people work through issues more deeply. Using evidence-based approaches, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and humanistic psychology to help clients move forward in meaningful ways. I tailor therapy to each individual and include all aspects of a person's life, including family dynamics, cultural factors, job/ financial pressures, coping skills and health/ wellness.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
