Is this the life you imagined you'd have? Do you suffer from depression, loneliness, anxiety, relationship or self-esteem problems, work or family difficulties? I work with adults going through transitions and with people who would like to understand how their past affects them today.

I believe that you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose and hopeful about the therapy. When you feel this way, therapy is more likely to have a positive outcome. Please allow me to describe how I see therapy. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not things such as people, situations, and events. I am a firm believer that we can change the way we think, feel, and act even if the situation does not change. Today you are one step closer to a new "you" where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

Over the years, my therapeutic style and experience have evolved. I discovered that having flowing conversations that invite exploration, processing, understanding, and growth has been impactful. Providing a safe and trusting space to be our authentic self, is an important part of the therapeutic environment and alliance. My goal is to provide effective and evidence-based practice to support clients in their mental and emotional health, and to support them in their journey of becoming better versions of themselves.

My clients are regular, everyday women, couples and families who struggle with life's overwhelming issues: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, perfectionism, difficulty being assertive, past trauma, insecurities, people pleasing and life transitions.

I love this quote from Dr. Louis Tinnin and Dr. Linda Gantt, Co-founders of the Instinctual Trauma Response Method, "Of all the mental health issues, the ones related to trauma are the most treatable." I hold this same belief and enjoy working with adults, couples, and first responders who are experiencing symptoms of traumatic stress (anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, uncomfortable body sensations, etc.) Traumatic stress is an injury that can be healed and effective therapy does not require you to relive past experiences.
