Congratulations! You have taken the first step to seek help, let's explore how we can work together to achieve your goals. As an Attorney, Psychotherapist, Mom and Widow, I understand the stress that comes with trying to balance professional, family, and personal goals, while trying to find "me time" in the midst of a pandemic. At times, this can all feel overwhelming. Let's work together on some coping skills and personal discovery to make this journey easier.

After a successful career in the business world, I took the skills of social connection and project management and returned to school for my Master's to integrate my life's experiences with a behavioral health education. I have gained clinical experience working with adults, couples and teens from diverse backgrounds in various settings. My practice philosophy is to walk alongside my clients in a relaxed setting and go through this journey of self-discovery together. You can change what's possible.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults (18+) as well as Ecotherapy approaches and concepts. Accessing therapeutic effects from nature is of great help to attain balance, effective coping, rejuvenation, and personal insight. Ecotherapy can be a key add-on to the immense healing that CBT can provide. Online telehealth sessions focus on what you want to ADDRESS and remedy (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, relationship troubles, parenting, self-esteem, addiction, panic/phobia, aging, and more). as well as how to COPE with challenges, uncertainty and distress.

Your life is a garden; it needs attention and care! Therapy with me is a supportive, dedicated space where you develop into a skilled gardener who can cultivate the life you want. We will work together to figure out what are weeds that need to be thinned, and what flowers and crops you want to nurture. We will identify what tools, knowledge, and skills you need to grow your garden. We will navigate the barriers, internal and external, that have hindered your gardening efforts. Therapy can be hard work, but it can also be quite enjoyable, and you may be surprised by how much laughter can be involved!

I know scrolling through Psychology Today profiles can be frustrating, and challenging. Making sense of all of the therapy terms and acronyms, (oh so many of those!) can be exhausting. Assessing and finding your therapist 'fit' shouldn't be impossible. All of us have strengths, and the ability to feel joy. The path to change is often marked with unknown barriers and systemic trauma. My aim is to help others identify interpersonal and systemic barriers standing in the way of growth. I am trauma informed, and an ACES DV survivor and advocate. I work hard to provide a safe space to grow the therapist client alliance.

Congratulations on taking the initial steps towards healing! I cannot stress this enough; it’s wonderful that you care about your mental health. I see a wonderful change happening in society where people can finally feel safe to talk about their life experiences and not feel stigmatized. I am actively working towards improved mental health care for all. As you take this important journey towards self-awareness and healing, you may feel the uncertainties that life throws your way. It can naturally make you feel isolated, misunderstood, anxious, and even defeated when you can’t see the path that lies before you.
