"Taking the first step in finding a therapist can be daunting, but once you find the right fit, it can be a turning point in your life. As your therapist, my job is to listen carefully as we work through the issues you are struggling with now, but also figuring out how they became issues in the first place. It's this understanding that brings on real change. Sometimes, all it takes is fresh eyes and a new perspective to help you move forward from whatever is holding you back. You don't have to do this alone!"

In a collaborative process, I help my clients uncover what is maintaining those unhealthy behavior patterns and learn new skills to cope. I also work with clients to identify how developmental trauma from childhood influences their coping style, and help them develop self-compassion and acceptance as a part of healing."

"I am passionate about working with my clients to help them discover how to simultaneously be emotionally connected with others, while also having a solid sense of self. I believe this process can be achieved be getting to know themselves on a deeper level, and more fully exploring interpersonal relationships. As a psychologist, I believe my job is to aid clients in overcoming emotional barriers and gaining insight and awareness into themselves. I approach my work with my clients with warmth, humor, honesty, and genuine passion for what I do, and a belief that together, we can make a lasting positive change in their life."

When life overwhelms us, we sometimes feel stuck to the point of paralysis and depression. I can help you re-connect with your values, develop healthier ways of coping, and move through life more gracefully."

"For 30 years, I've helped adults, couples, children, and parents move past hurdles that got in the way of having better lives and stronger, more loving relationships. Many of the people I've seen are generally successful, with lives that look good and in many ways, are good. But so often underneath are feelings of unworthiness, perfectionism, chronic stress, anxiety, ineffectiveness, emotional or physical pain, and loneliness. I am dedicated to helping you discover where/how you're stuck; become more connected to yourself; and approach life with more clarity, confidence, and flexibility to deal with life's challenges."

"Life can feel like a roller coaster ride, with many ups and downs. When we have healthy coping skills and a strong support system of loved ones to rely on, we can navigate through difficult times and regain a sense of balance. However, sometimes the coping skills or support system that we once relied upon become ineffective or unavailable. Stress triggered by issues such as life transitions, grief, trauma and financial strain can cause us to feel vulnerable and out of control. If you are struggling, rest assured that you are not alone. I am confident that I can help."

"You don't have to be in crisis or feel like you're "going crazy" to seek therapy. Sometimes you just need someone to help you out of whatever stuck place you are in to change direction towards something more fulfilling... or maybe you just need someone different to listen. Reaching out can be scary, so being on Psychology Today right now is a huge first step and I would love to be the person to help you."
