Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected? Have these feelings intensified after 4+ years of pandemic? Are you wanting more from your relationships and your work? Do things like creativity and embodiment feel elusive and out of reach? Or are you a performer or achiever who is often put on a pedestal by those around you, idolized yet at a distance from the kind of care you actually want?

Many of us turn to therapy because we feel lost, frustrated, or exhausted. Maybe we’re tired of swimming against the currents of anxiety or depression, but can’t find our way out. We may put on a happy face, while pushing aside painful emotions. Or we yearn for more meaningful connections, but past wounds or the residue of trauma make that feel out of reach. Even when we understand our negative patterns, undoing them can feel intimidating. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and grow. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to helping individuals and couples who are ready to do the deep, transformative work towards change.

For over 22 years, I've enjoyed helping people to develop strategies to reduce stress/anxiety, depression, and successfully navigate common life issues related to career, life transitions, and grief/loss. As we all are trying to cope with the current crisis, we are having to adjust and find ways to maintain our mental health, relationships, friendships, and health. I offer phone and video (FaceTime & Zoom) sessions until we get out of this crisis and can resume office visits. I have sliding scale rates based on household income. Please contact me for more information. Wishing everyone the very best during these challenging times.

I provide an opportunity for people to freely express their feelings and thoughts to achieve the changes they desire. I work interactively with clients so they may develop their strengths and achieve their goals. Assisting individuals in becoming at ease with their feelings, however difficult they may be, is an important aspect of the work I do. Feelings can become useful tools for living rather than disturbing impediments. The ubiquitous problems of uncomfortable feelings, harmful behaviors, and the challenges of relationships, careers and parenting are common areas of focus.

Your experience : "I feel angry or frustrated most of the time! I'm easily triggered and overreact. Why do I feel nervous, uncomfortable, shy or 'off' around people? I get invitations, but feel anxious to commit. So I cancel at the last minute! Then beat myself up for doing so! I need to speak - say something when I feel disrespected, but I don't. Then, I build resentments, grudges toward them, and blame myself for not speaking up!? But how and what to say in a way they can hear me? I really don't understand my behavior, my mind or my decisions." This vignette represents anxiety, fear and distorted thinking. Suffering.

In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. It’s only human to want to heal in order to function at our optimal capacity, whatever that might be for us. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

With a caring and non judgmental approach, I work with clients to help them achieve the deep satisfaction and joy missing from their lives. Many circumstances have brought you to the point where anxiety, depression, low self esteem or frustration have made it difficult for you to live your best life. Together we embark on a journey which helps you to better understand yourself and then implement changes so that you are in charge again
