A trauma-focused, relational Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in depth and existential traditions. I work together with clients to create and reach goals and commit to them inquisitively. We will employ myriad methods, including visual, expressive, and somatic modalities to enhance coping skills, make meaning, and foster change- all with a gentle, open approach. I work well with persons undergoing stress, anxiety, depression, existential concerns, and unease. We will together build a compassionate and curious container to undertake this work. It is an honor to work with you to reveal a more vibrant, resilient self.

You may be considering talking to someone about a personal issue, are concerned about a relationship, or are interested in making a positive change in your life. I am a clinical psychologist who works with older adolescents and adults on a variety of issues such as stress management, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, life transitions, or with individuals who simply need a boost in confidence in order to pursue their personal goals.

Accepting new clients! Are you or a loved one struggling to cope with issues like anxiety, OCD, addiction, depression, and trauma? Have these issues led you to feel isolated, with nowhere to turn? Have you previously tried therapy with little success? At Elevate, we are determined to help you and your loved ones become the healthiest version of themselves.

Are you struggling with something and need help figuring it out? With patience, humor, empathy and mindfulness, I will work with you in a nonjudgmental, caring and direct way so you can successfully achieve your goals. For over 25 years, I have worked with children and adults with a range of issues, including trauma, at-risk behavior, depression, anxiety, relationship and interpersonal conflict, as well as those struggling with intimacy and sex. I provide a safe space to develop a path toward personal and emotional growth and treat each person with dignity and respect. I also offer co-parenting and therapeutic supervised visitation.

Are you saying to yourself that you will give your all to being a better person? Are you living your dreams? Do you have a secret that you need to share or serve in an active duty war zone? We all have moments where we need some extra help. I work within a group practice and we will listen to your relationship, family members, pain, depression, anxiety, addiction and how you really feel. We want to talk to you and offer open feedback without judgment. I work with seniors, adults, teens. We are motivating and optimistic therapists with years of experience working with employment, mental health and substance abuse addictions.

Life is like a roller coaster with its uphills and downhills. Usually we roll with the flow and find that some days are better than others. Or maybe everything is fine and then life throws us a curveball and we don't know which way to turn. As women in today's world, we find ourselves in life transitions frequently. Most of the time we can work through it on our own but every now and then we get stuck and need a little help to figure out how to move forward.

Do you want an intelligent and compassionate professional to validate feelings or challenge your thoughts? My 30 year background in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Treatment interventions can help you create a different and positive narrative that will allow you to see life through a different lens. I am a graduate of Columbia University, MPH, Florida State University MSW, Clinical track, and the University of Miami, BA Clinical Psychology.

Starting therapy can feel very uncomfortable and stressful. It's a big step, but it's an important step. It means you're willing to look at the things that are causing you distress, and you're open to healing and support. My focus is relationships. With oneself as well as intimate relationships and family. I am a Solution Focused Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In sessions we will work together to solve problems, build communication and coping. I offer weekend availability as well as after hour appointments currently through teletherapy. Let's work together to find a resolution to the problem and repair your relationships.
