Asking for help is hard, but it’s when we feel heard, seen, and understood, that healing and growth are possible. I am here to create a safe space for you, or you and your partner (s), to explore and challenge yourself in pursuit of greater truth and authenticity. By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings can move us forward. Allow me to help.

We'll work together to help you find ways to cope with life, improve your relationships and restore your sense of joy in activities.

I enjoy working to celebrate the individualism and uniqueness of each client. I have a special interest in diversity and am passionate about supporting clients who may be struggling with challenges related to immigration status, sexual orientation/gender identity, racial and cultural identity, etc. My treatment approach uses characteristics of trauma informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and behavioral activation.

I am a firm believer in the power of the stories that we tell about ourselves and our experiences. These stories inform our worldview, how we interact with others, and how we view ourselves. I am passionate helping clients working through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns that make it difficult to cope on their own. Using exploration, reflection, and evaluation, I aim to help clients uncover their strengths, develop coping skills, and discover outside supports. My approach to marriage and couples counseling is focused on assessing and building communication skills to help restore the emotional bond in the relationship .

I am honored for you to consider my practice to assist you in navigating this journey we call life. Are you experiencing a life changing event that you are struggling to navigate? At a crossroad, trying to decide where to go or what to do next? In a time of transition with your partner , or loved one? Struggling to get along or communicate? Do you need an objective impartial party to help guide you? There is no right or wrong answer, just what is best for your situation and those involved. I am affirming and supportive of the LGBTQ+ and Poly communities. My hope is to guide you to a place of "transformation and new beginnings".

My approach to psychotherapy is focused on building a strong and collaborative relationship with you, the client, working with you to provide immediate symptom relief and make sustainable change. My style is warm, curious, and engaged. I provide a safe and confidential space for you to share your story. I am influenced by the psychodynamic tradition, focusing on how you relate to yourself and others. As you begin to feel understood, accepted, and more deeply known in therapy, a trusting therapeutic relationship develops. This results in greater self-understanding and leads to change, including immediate symptom relief and longer-term transformation.

My clients are adults and adolescents who tend to identify themselves as highly sensitive, perfectionistic, and self-critical. They often feel intense emotions and have active minds that always seem to be "on". Using strengths-based, solution-focused, and mindfulness approaches, I help individuals learn to step back and notice their thoughts and feelings rather than be controlled by them. In addition to alleviating the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma, these skills allow people to connect with their values and pursue what's important to them.

I work with individuals and couples looking to improve the quality of their relationships and work through emotional and behavioral difficulties. I am also interested in helping men and women navigate the challenges that come with the end of a relationship . Other groups I like to work with include individuals in stressful life stages and clients struggling with substance use issues, anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues. I’m particularly drawn to young adults and adults in my practice. As a therapist, I will challenge and encourage you to make necessary changes.

As a clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist, my specialty is sex and marital therapy. In my practice I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing a variety of sexual problems. These include orgasmic dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual pain disorders, vaginismus, lack of interest in sex, and sexual addictions. I also do general marital therapy and general psychotherapy.

Whether you are struggling with parenthood, having frequent conflicts with your partner , grieving a loss, trying to establish healthy boundaries with family and friends, or working to understand yourself better — having someone to help support you through that process with empathy, insight, and guidance can be life changing. I have a masters in the field of psychology, am married and a mother of four, and worked in a day treatment clinic for children doing individual, family, and group therapy so I have seen a lot. You are not alone and I have strategies and techniques to start helping you right now.

I am passionate about helping those who are introspective, emotionally-inclined, and curious. I care about helping clients move beyond the surface in therapy to reach a deeper level of truth that they haven't yet spoken. Too often, therapy glosses over the fact that, at times, life is painful and messy. As much as we might want to avoid this, I strive to remind clients that we are better off trying to embrace this, and we might be surprised by what comes from doing so.

Has life events left you wounded and confused? Do you feel hopeless and alone? Are you grieving the loss of someone or something? Do you crave freedom from negative thinking and dysfunctional behaviors? Do you seek true spiritual direction? Do you need someone to really listen to, understand, and support you? If you answer yes to any of these questions or have more questions, then we should talk. In a supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs to help attain the personal growth they want.

Look, relationships are hard. Dating and finding somebody that gets you is hard enough, and then maintaining that relationship is a lot of work. Throw in a job, maybe some kids and pets, and somehow time to get to the gym and make a healthy meal? Crazy hard. Despite being insightful, motivated, and loving... relationships are hard. For everyone. Are you tired of fighting and having to walk on eggshells? Maybe you’re missing the connection, love, and affection you once felt.
