I work with teenagers and adults who are looking to realign with their authentic selves by overcoming maladaptive cycles of chronic stress and other mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

It seems as though sacrificing authenticity and mental health has become a societal norm. If you are feeling lost or struggling with your mental health, I am here to help!

Do you feel so overwhelmed by your emotions that you no longer can tell if you control them or if they control you? Or do you feel unhappy, lonely or tired of getting into arguments with your spouse? Are you feeling frustrated when you aren’t feeling like yourself- worried, sad, or unmotivated? Depression, stress, and anxiety can affect everything from work to relationships, not meeting goals, or even trouble completing daily tasks. Sometimes it can be challenging to understand ‘why’ or what is causing the anxious feelings.

Welcome. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, serving individuals, couples, families and adolescents. My therapeutic approach is pragmatic and solution-focused.

I currently have daytime openings for telehealth appointments. Are you curious about aspects of your life that have become difficult for you? I see psychotherapy as an educational process, and my role is to help you to get to know yourself in a different way. I take a stance that is non-pathologizing, and believe that everyone, no matter how many overwhelming experiences one has had, also has the capacity to heal. I am grounded in an approach based on Internal family systems (IFS), and incorporate elements of mindfulness, as well as sensorimotor psychotherapy, and attachment theories in my work.

I work with individual adults and teenagers who are going through a difficult time in their lives. Most often they are experiencing some kind of stressful event, such as difficulty in a relationship or work/school related problems, some form of loss, or simply general dissatisfaction in their lives. Many have some degree of anxiety or depression and find therapy a helpful means of managing these feelings. Over the years I have also worked with many survivors of sexual abuse, people coping with cancer, MS, ALS, and 9/11 first responders and veterans who were coping with trauma, loss and PTSD.

In a lot of ways the past couple of years were difficult and scary ones. Although we are still living with some uncertainty, I believe we are moving toward healing and hope. Let’s make this your year to manage anxiety, learn tools to increase positive mood, and to drop the emotional rocks from the past that are weighing you down. I am a licensed clinical therapist using many therapeutic models to help you meet your goals. Not going it alone is the healthiest choice you are making today.

As a psychotherapist, it is most important for me to recognize the strengths, resilience and worth of each client. Respect, compassion, warmth, genuineness, caring and an earnest desire to support and help others has always guided my practice.

Therefore, I am best described as an "integrationist" weaving multiple methods to address the needs of every individual client, couple or family.

In my 20+ years of experience I have found that therapy works because it offers the time and a safe space to explore our internal world and our relationship with others. Research shows that we can transform negative self beliefs and intrusive feelings by processing childhood trauma. I specialize in body-centered psychotherapies, EMDR and IFS, to achieve this goal. Many diagnoses are missed, such as PTSD and ADHD in adults until they listen to their bodies. Clients will learn that our bodies possess the capacity to be rewired when we heal trauma, and will regain their full lives.

It is my desire to provide the tools and safe place for clients to discover what it is they want and need.
