My goal is to support my clients by providing a safe, accepting environment for self-exploration. I am caring and authentic and strive to create a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients as we move together toward achieving greater harmony and balance in their lives. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents and adults and enjoy helping individuals with issues including self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, life transitions and identity. I recognize that insurance is not an option for everyone and offer a liberal sliding scale for my clients.
Additionally, I have over six years of experience working with developmentally delayed adults and special needs children and welcome work with these special populations.
Starting counseling is a big step and the right match between therapist and client is crucial. Please feel free to reach out to me for a complimentary 15-minute introductory session so we can try to determine if we will work well together!

My approach is primarily relational, as through a secure bond with each of my clients, I strive to improve self-worth, feelings of mastery and trust in self and others. I draw from psychodynamic theory as well and finally, provide clients with tools as needed.
