I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking a better understanding of how their life experiences have been shaped by their relationships and emotional reactions. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorder, relationships, family difficulties, or PTSD, I would like to help you attain the life back that you envisioned for yourself. I would like to work together to identify what that looks like for you and develop a specialized plan to help you get there. We all have experiences that seem to negatively dictate our response; so let's take control and write a positive future together.

I feel privileged that people allow me to be part of their exploration of issues and stressors in life. I have 25+ years in the health and mental health care arena, and have worked with individuals nationally and internationally. After serving ten years as Chief of Psychology at the Lindner Center of HOPE, I established a private clinical practice and business consulting practice, working with adults and adolescents.

The first step in any change is realizing that you want or need a change in the first place. As a therapist, I utilize a strength-based approach to allow clients to learn and hone in on the skills they already possess in order to make the changes they desire in their lives. In our sessions, I will act like a mirror, helping you to gain insight, discover patterns, and learn about the obstacles that are in the way of your happiness. I am committed to helping my clients discover their goals and create a path to personal growth.

Welcome! I want to start by saying thank you for taking a moment to visit and read about me and what I do. It is not easy when choosing a therapist to talk to about life’s struggles.

My role is to be someone who will listen, be present, and help you navigate the rocky road forward.

We all face challenging territory at one time or another. We may find ourselves afraid, in pain, or just numb. I work with individuals ages 9 and up experiencing various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, shame, substance use, self-esteem, grief, life transitions, job and school challenges, relationship challenges, and other mood concerns.

I view counseling as a problem-solving process where we work initially on finding ways to help you feel you are no longer drowning emotionally, then begin a process of improving your awareness of the negative patterns of behavior in your life, and the thoughts and emotions that perpetuate those negative cycles. Once you feel more like you are on solid ground, we work to help you become more aware of the decision points when you can choose to stop from repeating old maladaptive behaviors and begin to develop new more positive behaviors which can help you find a path to a life with which you can be more satisfied.

Life can be really intimidating, especially if you’re a twenty-something. You set high expectations for yourself. The pressures of work, school, friends, family, and maintaining a social life keep growing and it's becoming overwhelming. You tend to put yourself and your needs behind the needs of others. It can feel hard to say no and set boundaries with people in your life. Internally, you feel worried and overthink. You're anxious and stressed. It's uncomfortable and exhausting to feel this way. Your goal is to be happy & successful, but something keeps holding you back from living your life to the fullest.

Life can have its challenges and often cause us to feel distressed and unbalanced.

You've come to realize that you’ve been stuck in a relationship or patterns that just aren’t good for you anymore. And you want to redesign your life. Still, you have mixed emotions. After all, there were plenty of good times mixed in with the tough times. You’re ready to shed the toxic stuff, but it’s hard. And scary. And even sad. But you’re tired of feeling numb, tired of pushing all those feelings down just so you can make it through another day. You’re ready to take control of your own life and make choices that reflect who you are now and who you want to be. You just don’t know how to get started.

Life can be an emotional roller coaster, and sometimes we feel stuck, out of control, or hopeless. We can feel inadequate and misunderstood.. What makes us successful are the coping skills we learn to use, the ability to set boundaries, and proper communication. Together, we will create a plan to address what’s holding you back, and at the same time enhance your strengths. I prefer to meet with my clients on a weekly basis, which is typically the most effective way for you to meet your treatment goals. The length of treatment varies with each individual or couple, which we can discuss together.
