My mission is your personal growth. As a positive psychologist, I design our sessions focusing on encouraging you to identify and develop your own positive emotions, positive experiences and positive traits. Initially our work includes your most pressing concerns, but my overall treatment plan nurtures that which is best within you. We study your strengths and virtues and tailor new ways to use your resources and achieve your goals. In a safe atmosphere, we remove obstacles, change unhelpful thinking patterns and unsupportive behaviors, all in an effort to enhance your happiness.

On the surface, life seems to be going smoothly. On the inside, it's a different story. Anxiety, depression, and stress quietly chip away at your well-being and relationships. What once proved effective might now fall short as circumstances shift, and your life and goals evolve. Perhaps you're mid-career, grappling with the elusive balance between personal and professional life. Maybe you've ticked off the milestones on your "roadmap to success" yet yearn for more depth and meaning. If this narrative resonates with you, and you're here in search of a solution, welcome and congratulations on taking this pivotal first step!

Are you concerned about your child's developmental progress? Is your child having difficulty making friends or socializing? Is your child experiencing anxiety or fears?

I specialize in helping families with children who have neurodevelopment disorders, behavior issues and children with anxiety.

I appreciate your interest in psychotherapy and commend your effort in finding a therapist. It is an important step to take towards feeling better. I am a clinical psychologist with several years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families.

I work collaboratively with my clients, and am supportive and dedicated to their increased well being. My approach to therapy is to be genuine, open and honest, supportive, and curious.

If you're a high-achieving individual with frequent or intense anxiety, you may feel discouraged and frustrated by your symptoms. Constant worry, obsessions, disrupted sleep and sudden anxiety attacks can be debilitating, even for the most competent person. I work with successful professionals, including physicians, attorneys, executives, creatives and entertainers, and their family members; I know it can be hard to seek help when you are used to solving your own problems. However, anxiety symptoms are very treatable when you work with a professional who offers the most effective approach.

Have you been feeling heightened levels of stress, sadness, or general dissatisfaction with your life?

Together, we will work to identify and understand the issues at hand, reduce your distress, and help you live a life that feels more productive and fulfilling.

Helping others achieve long lasting emotional stability is my main goal as a therapist. If your past experiences in psychotherapy have primarily been handled with just compassionate listening and support, you will most likely experience a re-occurring event that will have you forever returning to counseling.

I have been honored to support many through some of the most significant transitions in their lives. Opening my career with a decade as a hospital clinician, I was especially drawn to the beginning and end of life, and the incredible privilege it is to be welcomed to hold space during these times. In my private practice, I specialize in grief and loss, particularly death and dying, and the emotional and spiritual work surrounding other transitions, rites of passage, and life cycles. This includes work around the end of life, pregnancy loss (including TFMR), traumatic birthing processes, and plant spirit medicine integration.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy. I strive to create a safe space for my patients, a space where both verbal and nonverbal communication can be expressed. The art in therapy serves to reveal unconscious material that may otherwise remain unknown, and it helps deepen the therapeutic process. You do not need any artistic skills to participate in art psychotherapy. My mission is to provide my full attention and expertise so that my patients feel seen and heard, which I believe paves the path toward growth, change, self awareness and healing.
