I take a
trauma
-informed, attachment-based, and compassion-focused approach to guide you towards seeing yourself and your partner in a more clear, connected, and empathic way.
I believe we are wired to seek connection and security. Emotion is the language of connection so I work with individuals and couples to understand how their emotional world shapes their life. You may have learned to withdraw/numb feelings, deny or feel shame about them, or that your emotions are “too much”. Your feelings are valid, important, and resourceful, and designed to shine a light on what you are needing. Whether I am working with individuals or couples, I can support you to organize your emotions, understand their origins and functions, and utilize them to create secure, emotionally intimate, and responsive relationships.

Over the past 15 years, I have developed expertise in working with teens, adults, couples, and families who are experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, reactions to
trauma
, attention deficits, addictions, and relationship challenges at both work and home.
By the time most people are seeking a therapist, they have been struggling with significant challenges that have not gotten better with time, effort, or the help of family and friends. As a clinical psychologist, I am passionate about connecting with people in that stuck place for which there are no easy answers and working together to find solutions. The key ingredient in my work is my capacity to establish a trusting, cooperative, confidential, safe, and non-judgmental partnership with you in which you can better understand what is going on and learn more effective ways of meeting your life's challenges.

I work with clients who are working through issues from their family history - making sense of family
trauma
, abuse, parental alcoholism, etc.
I believe that therapy is a journey of self-discovery in search of positive change. This process is more effective in the presence of a respectful, safe and experienced professional. I have worked in the field for 20 years in various settings, and have always found the therapy experience to be a powerful time of self-awareness and empowerment for clients. In my work, I listen for patterns, clarify issues and help the client to search for meaning and strategies to make more effective life choices. I provide therapy for individuals working on understanding and managing depression, anxiety and anger.
