Many individuals, families, and couples realize at some juncture in their lives that they need professional assistance in order to successfully navigate or cope with overwhelming situations, strained interpersonal relationships (e.g., discord with a romantic partner), or intense emotional responses to their environment (e.g., sadness, or excessive worrying). In addition, most people are also confronted by situations in which their past experiences dictate their current reactions, responses, and behaviors. Although most individuals experience some variation of the same challenges, most often, people seek additional support when the problems begin to impact their daily functioning and relationships with others.

Typically, I work with clients ranging in age from 12 through adulthood. Many of my clients are facing challenges with depression, anxiety, job or school performance, relationship issues (couples, parenting, family of origin, and work). Often people come to a juncture in their lives when they know something must change. My work focuses on the desired change each person brings. Together we address reducing symptoms, removing obstacles to growth and increasing life satisfaction. Techniques including NLP, non-verbal presence, mindfulness are offered. Executive coaching, leadership and team building, masterful communication, and conflict mediation skills are offered to organizations.

I am continually amazed at the capacity of the human spirit. So I see my role as helping you access your inner resources to move toward wholeness and health. I don't believe any of us wake up in the morning thinking "how can I mess up my life today?" So I see my role as helping you access your confident, creative, and compassionate self. I work with clients who are depressed, anxious, facing relationship challenges, struggling with intense emotions, and trauma survivors.

I thoroughly enjoy working with "emerging adults." Those who may be struggling to find their sense of identity and adapting to the greater demands and responsibilities of adulthood. Have you recently had a baby, and you're struggling with the transition to motherhood? With advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS), I have a passion for working with women who are struggling to connect to their baby or finding it hard to feel like themselves again. I also enjoy working with couples and aim to help couples identify repetitive patterns of conflict and access emotions underlying the conflict.

During my twenty years of clinical experience, I find effective therapy always starts with our connection. Growing a warm, non-judgmental working relationship is always my initial goal, as your comfort is important for treatment success. I will collaborate with you to create an individualized approach that will address your difficulties and speak to your strengths and goals. I am a compassionate, direct, and calm communicator and adept at facilitating exploration of your thoughts, feelings and actions in an effort to relieve distress, develop insight, improve coping strategies, and grow healthier, more satisfying relationships.

Have you always felt like an outsider? Has substance use or trauma left you feeling like a spectator in your own life? Are you burnt out, frustrated, or tired of dealing with the same old patterns in your relationships? I am passionate about helping people to better understand and trust themselves and feel empowered in their lives. Together we can address challenges from anger, anxiety and depression to family history, relationship and parenting issues. You will find my therapeutic style is warm, active and direct. I will bring authenticity, humor and connection to our work, and am skilled in enhancing motivation and accountability.

As a clinical psychologist trained in evidence-based psychotherapy, I have 10+ years successfully treating couples and individuals for a wide array of issues, ranging from premarital jitters and affairs, to ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I pursued advanced postdoctoral training in couples therapy and have extensive experience treating individuals of all ages and in various settings, including medical centers, outpatient clinics, primary care, and universities. At its core, my structured therapy process centers on a collaborative relationship between therapist and client, relying heavily on mutual respect and trust.

Life and relationships sometimes offer inaccurate messages about who we are, what we deserve, and what is available to us. Where you have felt invalidated, shamed, limited, or unsafe, I want to help you rewrite your story. I am passionate about connection, communication, mind-body-soul healing, and guiding others into their light. I support individuals and couples in identifying patterns such as over-functioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shutting down, withdrawing, or focusing on tasks. As we explore the roots of these strategies, we can find new ways to relate, meet needs, build self-worth, and heal old hurts.

You're not disposable, replaceable, and you'd be missed! Relief from overwhelming and debilitating behavioral health symptoms is achievable; individuals aren't defined by their diagnosis and/or symptoms; and, the mind and body are one--possessing extreme potential for full recovery. In a non-judgmental atmosphere, we'll work together identifying and focusing on areas of existing strengths instilling new skills, hope, resiliency, and sustainable recovery. Specifically, I have expertise in suicidality, trauma related disorders, and management of symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

I listen to understand. I want you to be who you want to be and feel safe doing it! You have a right to feel safe and be yourself. My job is to provide you that safe space without any judgement! I understand the unique needs of the LGBTQIA community, including lived experience.

I am a Supervisee in Social Work who has experience in working with individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking therapeutic services for depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and daily life stressors. I can support and strategize with individuals looking to achieve specific goals and offer guidance for those who are trying to figure out their next steps.

Over the past 15 years I have learned that the change process is collaborative and requires a unified focus between therapist and client. In therapy, the most positive outcomes occur when we develop a healthy therapeutic relationship and focus on the same goals. Building this relationship allows both therapist and client to feel comfortable while cultivating positive change. I practice from a wellness perspective that states everything we experience throughout our lives is a natural part of our development as individuals. I will meet you wherever you may be emotionally knowing that your life's journey has brought you to this place.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), pediatric psychology, and family therapy. I work with children and families on a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, attention disorders/executive dysfunction, stress, coping with medical illness, learning disabilities, neuropsychological challenges, and developmental issues. I can assist with interpreting and implementing treatment plans and related recommendations in consultation with parents, teachers, and other professionals (e.g., medical doctors, speech-language therapists, tutors).

Therapy is an unusual process; there is nothing like it in day to day life. You come to a professional who focuses solely on you, your past, your future, your health, your goals and your perspective. Whatever you have been through, whatever you are trying to become, my goal is to do everything we can together to inspire you, to help you realize you can, and to help you know deep down that you are worth it. I will facilitate your understanding of your emotional (or lack of emotional) responses. You will learn the tools you need to heal from the trauma learning of the past and move forward, free to engage in life on your terms.
