NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Together we will move through areas in your life that are challenging. In the therapeutic space we create we move through challenging transitions. Sometimes the challenge is due to experiences considered traumatic - when an event or events have overwhelmed your nervous system such as divorce, illness, loss. Don't let these experiences prevent you from evolving into your best self. Move out what could be holding you back. You owe this to yourself. I am here to help. Call me if you want to diminish symptoms, you want to enjoy life, have more joy, and especially choice. Move from survive to thrive.

My approach is both directive and accepting. I am a client-centered therapist. I can help solve problems that can take years to resolve on their own by teaching new skills and giving homework to practice in between sessions. At the same time I allow clients to dictate the goals, pace, and intensity of their counseling sessions. I don't fix people. I look for what is going right and help you or your relationship do more of it.

Feeling stuck is a part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to figure it out by yourself. There are many pieces that play a part in being in a tough place that make each situation different. I am experienced in working with many issues including depression, relationship issues, anxiety, and traumatic stress. I am passionate about women’s issues, cultural diversity, and am LGBTQ+ affirmative. Life gets really difficult sometimes - you are stronger and more resilient than you think.

8/24/2020 I AM TAKING NEW PATIENTS. All people struggle at some point in their lives. Each of us has difficulty managing, especially when life throws us a curve ball – like a diagnosis of chronic illness, failure in school or work, a relationship that blows up or the death of a loved one. Times like these can leave us feeling lost and alone. We may even have thoughts like “I’m a failure” or “I will never get over this”. I understand. And I want you to know that I can help. I can help you feel better, find your joy and live the healthiest life possible.

I consider it an honor to assist you through your process of becoming conscious of and utilizing your strengths, integrating the aspects of yourself, and discovering and revering your true Self. My goal is to provide support, encouragement, compassion, and unconditional positive regard to adults, children, adolescents, and families while guiding them to find their inner resources and true Selves so that they may heal, grow, and learn to thrive in life.

My clients are children and families from a variety of backgrounds who need help moving through trauma, stress, and life's transitions. Whether coming to me from their family of origin, foster care, or working through adoption issues, I treat children and family systems with many different histories and concerns. I know that sometimes life's challenges leave us feeling helpless and hopeless, and my hope is for each of my clients and their families to feel seen, heard, and understood.

At times young people cannot get the most out of the experiences life has to offer. This could be a result of limited knowledge, skills, or underlying issues. I am a clinical child psychologist and my aim is to help children, adolescents, and their families, equipping youth with skills to put them on a positive path before adulthood. I use evidence-based tools that help youth and their families overcome challenges that keep them from moving forward in life. In addition to outpatient therapy, I offer psychological testing and evaluations for youth, helping to identify problem areas and unique needs and providing tailored recommendations.

I look forward to helping my clients develop the skills and perspective necessary for establishing a lifestyle free of mood-altering chemicals. I also enjoy working with family members as they are also effected by the devastating consequences of active addictive disease and are puzzled as to how to support someone in recovery. A life of quality relationships and freedom from addiction is possible and can be your reality.

You have taken a positive step to get support on your life's journey! I can work with you on issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), sexual/emotional/physical abuse, divorce, relationship issues, depression, etc. I am also experienced with GLBT issues, working with immigrants who are adapting to a new country, and in helping our returning veterans. I will help you learn to observe yourself and your patterns of thought and behavior. Once you have gained insight into yourself, you have the power to choose your next step and influence the life you want for yourself.

Are you tired of trying to handle the stresses of life alone? Do you feel like there is something holding you back from helping you reach your full potential? We believe that everyone can benefit from counseling with a skilled and caring professional. We want to help you make meaningful and extraordinary advances in your life, career, relationships, and happiness.

I see therapy as a process that the client and I co-create. A willingness to discover your strengths while exploring areas where you may feel stuck is essential to assuming responsibility for positive change in dealing with: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, stress management, health concerns, relationship, family, and parenting issues. I usually take a mind/body approach when appropriate, helping my clients gain greater skill in handling difficult emotions and improving their ability to communicate more clearly and effectively with others. This usually allows for much greater joy, satisfaction and a greater sense of connectedness.
