My goal is to help you to resolve the problems that bring you to therapy and to help you to understand the personal and environmental factors that might have contributed to your problems. I draw from both insight-oriented and cognitive-behavioral approaches and I believe that therapy is first and foremost a collaborative partnership where the patient and therapist work together to achieve stability; restore functioning; remedy long-standing, problematic behavior patterns; and develop a platform for lifelong growth, renewed energy, self-development and enhanced relationships. I've been in practice since 1990.

Are you feeling that life is overwhelming? Do you often struggle with intense, rollercoaster range of emotions? Do you want your life to change, and not sure where to start? Whatever your reason for searching out options for therapy, I am glad that you are here. My approach to therapy is not a "one size fits all" model; but rather an integrative, holistic and clinical evidenced based framework to guide discovery to your authentic self and help provide a better understanding of connection to inner truth, to mind and body, and nurture the process of reinvesting back into you.

Taking the step to begin therapy (or to begin therapy again) is not an easy one and I applaud you for doing it! I believe that one of the most important reasons therapy is successful is the positive relationship built between therapist and client & I think it matters to find a therapist who meets your needs and provides a space where you feel most comfortable to get to work. My approach in session always leads with curiosity about your experience and the ways you have learned to navigate it, with the goal of providing a warm, creative and open space that is free of judgment.

No matter where you are in life currently, you have undoubtedly faced challenges and difficulty. If you are coping with past trauma, you may notice situations in the past may be playing a role in your current concerns or significantly impacting your life and relationships. Feelings of shame, guilt, and worries for the future can hold you back from knowing and achieving what you want for your life. Regardless of what you have experienced, I believe you are capable of moving forward with courage and resilience. I seek to provide you with a safe space to share your story and to write them together.

You've began feeling a familiar feeling again. Sometimes it feels like a pit in your stomach & other times it takes your breath away. The feeling could be best described as Anxiety or Panic. Lately, it has taken over again, and it's beginning to consume you. Your thoughts are driving you crazy and every task feels overwhelming. You just want peace in your life however you feel irritable most days. Everything is getting under your skin so much so that you've found yourself isolating from others. You hate feeling so overwhelmed with your thoughts & desperately wanting a solution that really works.

You may be going through a difficult time in your life right now. It may be dealing with a pressure-filled job, an unsatisfying relationship, or a difficult living situation. Perhaps you are dealing with anxiety and depression that have been going on for years. Maybe you've even tried counseling before, but did not find it to be very helpful (it seemed like mostly just having someone listen to you!). Now you are ready to move your life to the next level and try something different. This is where I step in.
