"Are you unhappy with your life? Do you long for a better, more loving and intimate relationship? Are you feeling that you are not fulfilled in your career? Do you want more out of your life?

Imagine your life where you are able to change your life story and live the life you want."

"Hello, are you looking to make a change in some way...? My personal goal as a therapist is to help people express themselves and be their best. In order to do this, I utilize talk and the creative arts therapies. Clients may discover the mode of therapy they feel would best suit them. They may find the grounding they need in their lives, and the ability to reach their full potential by making connections that they might not see on their own."

"As a child therapist and mother of three, I empathize with the wide range of feelings, questions, and transitions parents experience daily. In my practice, I help parents with their toddlers, preschoolers, school age children, and teenagers who may be struggling with questions about development, appropriate behavior, social skills, academics, anxiety, depression, ASD, and a wide array of complex issues. Together, we work collaboratively toward a deeper understanding of the issues and begin to solve them. Human connection is the most important factor in improving behavior, mood, and overall development! In the spirit of collaboration, we will work together to make lasting positive changes."

""The purpose of therapy is to give life back to someone who lost meaning" Therapy helps to make sense of something not working in one's life. I enjoy working with individuals who have a wide range of problems. I believe psychotherapy is an in-depth learning experience. Everything from dealing with feelings from your childhood, to problems of a more immediate nature are discussed and explored. Understanding how we repeat patterns from our past is benifical and improves how we express ourselves and resolve conflicts more effectively."

"Relationships are complicated and often very stressful and upsetting. I work with people who are grappling to communicate better with the most important people in their lives. Wanting to be heard, understood, supported and loved is human nature. This can sometimes be a challenge without outside, neutral help. Misunderstandings often can get in the way of intimate relationships, leaving each person feeling alone, disillusioned and their actions misconstrued. I see my job as someone who can help navigate these confusing dynamics and openly talk about the possible underlying feelings that led to these behaviors in the first place."

"The process of starting therapy can feel daunting and overwhelming, but can also be enlightening and rewarding. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer a collaborative approach to therapy, providing support to each individual along their journey toward self-discovery and growth. My goal is to help you identify and utilize your inherent strengths and learn adaptive skills to aide in developing a strong sense of self, reach your personal goals, effectively manage life’s challenges, and cope with emotional distress. Moreover, I believe that therapeutic work is most productive when aligned with an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment, which I intend to offer each person. I tailor treatment to meet the unique and diverse needs of every individual. "

"In a first meeting with a client, one of the most important parts of the session is to understand not only what brings a person into the office, “the problem” so to speak, but also to build out a framework of what the client believes will be the solution. What will it look like when things are better? Rather than pathologizing, I prefer to focus within the wellness model of counseling, identifying strengths and resources available to contribute toward a person’s personal counseling goals. "

"Everyone deserves to live a life full of meaning, joy and love. Most people come to therapy because something isn't working in their lives, and they need help fixing it. That's how I see my role as a therapist: a partner in your journey to figure out what's wrong, and then for us to work together to make real change. For some people this means developing insight into the issues that are holding you back. Other people already have the insight but need help turning the insight into action."

"Do you often feel isolated or overwhelmed; are you struggling with depression or anxiety; a survivor of trauma?

If you’re a woman struggling with relationships, a mother finding the demands of motherhood challenging, or an adolescent or young adult navigating school, social & family issues, I’d like to help.

However loss, trauma, and transitions at different developmental stages, may leave you confused about how to best support and care for your child.

"I provide a supportive empathic environment where clients feel safe to explore the complicated emotions that accompany losses whether through death, divorce, job loss, pet loss or chronic illness.

"People end up in my office because what were once adaptive styles of coping no longer work for them. I provide a warm, safe environment in which they can begin to understand why they feel and/or act the way they do, and to try to learn new, more effective ways to cope with what they are dealing with now, and what may come their way in the future."
