The world renowned teacher, Pema Chodron, once said that "compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It is a relationship between equals". This quote speaks to the heart of my clinical practice. I view therapy as a journey that we take together, one step at a time. We will travel together on this path and find ways to support a life of health and wellbeing that are meaningful to you.

Thank you for stopping by! My in-person practice is currently on a waitlist, but I have limited space for online clients. Throughout our lives, there are periods when stress or transitions leave us feeling off balance and in need of extra support. You may be struggling to move beyond these challenges and toward a more fulfilling and peaceful life. These challenges can arise at any point of life and at any age. I believe in working collaboratively with individuals and families to clarify the challenge, determine goals and uncover the path to get you there.

I use an integrative approach to therapy; person centered, trauma informed, strength based, and culturally sensitive. I believe that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by many factors; genetics, biology, psychology, society, community, family, relationships, education, occupation, religion, and culture. I work with clients to help them gain an understanding of how their early relationships with others affect their current relationships through trauma-informed, CBT, attachment theory work. I am primarily interested in Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Motivational Therapies.

Hello, I am currently taking new clients for telehealth only. I work well with individuals who suffer from overwhelming emotional pain and anxiety and difficulty navigating relationships successfully, as well as experience a sense of lack of control over their lives. I work well with people who struggle with a sense of lack of purpose, and who struggle with self confidence and a sense of self worth. I also work with anxiety about current events and how the larger world impacts our personal lives and creates trauma. How can we navigate a painful world from a place of empowerment and a sense of inner peace?

In a nutshell, my approach to psychotherapy is best described as a collaborative exploration of how our past experiences affect how we experience life in the present. Through better understanding of our own internal and external worlds, greater integration of emotional experience can occur, more positive meaning about ourselves, others, and life in general can be made, and authentic personal growth will result. Not only can distressing symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma, be reduced, but more full, satisfying, and resilient lives can be achieved.

If you have a loved one with an addiction, you experience a dilemma. One the one hand, you want to keep your loved one safe. On the other hand, you don't want to enable continued substance use. If possible, you want to help them decrease their use and get into treatment of their own. Your loved one's substance use may be making you miserable and interfering with your friendships, work, education, and your relationships with other family members. You may have been told that you must admit you're powerless over your loved one's substance use. You're hoping there are other options.
