Living with an unresolved or unprocessed trauma, whether it be physical, sexual, emotional, or even relational, can make life seem heavy. Yet, there's hope to transform yourself from a victim to a survivor. Our therapeutic journey will explore the interweaves between negative/deviant compulsive behaviors, unhealthy attachments, as well as general life areas where you find yourself highly anxious or stuck. The goal is to ultimately be able to look yourself in the mirror, smile and say, "I'm OK." You won't be alone in this journey to a healthier more positive life. I will be supporting you as you get to a more satisfying place.

I specialize in working with resolving depressive and anxious symptoms related to trauma.

Waitlist for new clients
Are you well educated and yet feel overwhelmed by life? Is anxiety or depression making every day a struggle? Are you unhappy in your relationship, going through a life transition, or reeling from a major loss? Do you have noisy inner critics who make you feel bad about yourself.? When you feel out of balance maybe your self-care goes out the window. You feel off, not yourself, simple daily tasks of life become difficult. Maybe you are irritable with the people you care about the most. Maybe you want to talk to someone but are worried you will burden your family or friends.

I'm a pre-licensed counselor and hold a Master of Arts in Counseling: Art Therapy. My experience includes supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. I have also worked considerably with older adults who are managing a cancer diagnosis or medical condition.

Chances are, you have happened upon this website because you are looking for something to be different: a feeling, a relationship, a thought, a mood...
Together, we will determine what needs to change by looking outside ourselves (exploring roles, rules, connection, boundaries, communication, and support) and by looking within ouselves (exploring thoughts, feelings, coping skills, internal dialogue, and how we've made meaning out of different experiences).
Through the process of learning, accepting and changing, something inherently will be different...and you will feel different.

My first goal in the therapeutic process is to create a trusting, safe and collaborative relationship. Through active exploration, it is my hope that you will uncover insight into thoughts, emotions and behavior that will empower and support you in transforming your life. I recognize the difficulty of developing and maintaining a sense of self that reflects a value of inner worth rather than outer societal or familial ideals and expectations. My intention is for you to become the person you really are and from that place, make choices leading you towards a greater sense of wholeness, peace and well-being.

I understand that reaching out for support can be a big or scary step. Whether it is your first time reaching out for therapy or you have gone to therapy before and not gotten the results you were hoping to achieve. I strive to create a safe and trusting space where you can feel seen, heard and understood that empowers you to find your way to a meaningful life, whatever that means to YOU. I work with adolescents and adults on issues spanning the life cycle including depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, women's issues, and life transitions.

During my past 25 years as a therapist I've worked with several clients with a variety of presenting problems, including anxiety and depression, chemical dependency, emotional abuse, sex addiction, codependency, eating disorders, and childhood trauma. I offer a supportive, confidential and safe place for you, your partner, spouse and/or family to work through obstacles, struggles, and current/past traumas to find success. It is my role to respect your values and the goal you set out to reach in therapy.

Is your anxiety preventing you (or your child) from being who you (or they) want to be? Wish you or your child could just get over it? If it was only that simple. Sometimes we just need someone who can give us the tools to not be crippled with anxiety. Anxiety is a necessary part of life, but shouldn't interfere. You're not looking for someone to just talk to on an ongoing basis; that's what your friends and family are for (and you don't need to pay them!) I'm going to help you get in and out of my office feeling "cured" as quickly as we can so that you can save money and be who you want to be.

I use a variety of approaches, adapting my style to each individual's unique struggles and goals while primarily drawing from modern psychoanalytic theory. We will work together to identify how relationships and the systems we reside in inform our life experiences and beyond. Understanding the origins of unsatisfying relationships and anxieties provides a chance for new perspectives and the possibility for lasting change. I am also informed by developmental perspectives when working with children, teens, and their families to cultivate inner capacities of growth and potential.

As a therapist, I work well with individuals and families who are curious about themselves, our work together, and the possibilities for a healthier future. Clients often find that I am a warm, patient, curious, humorous, kind, and supportive person on their journey toward self-improvement. I am passionate about my work with clients who are LGBTQ* and I love working with gender expansive youth and adults.

I believe that healing relationships, with others and with one's self, is the core ingredient for change in therapy. I feel that the optimal therapeutic approach with any person must be tailored to the needs of the particular individual and/or client system. Therapy should be approachable and create an environment of acceptance and self-love. In understanding human behavior, it is not so much about "good" or "bad" behavior, but trying to understand why we do what we do and to make sure our behaviors are constructive for ourselves and the relationships important to us.

Life is challenging and you may have worries, sadness, grief, a feeling of frustration in your work or a lack of connection to others. Therapy may seem daunting but it doesn't have to be. It is that very special place where you look at yourself with courage, compassion, and curiosity, without judgment or blame. It is the place to grow, change, to be seen and not alone. You already have the strengths and gifts to draw on, to deal with any challenge or concern, you just need to take the time and effort to do this for yourself.

I am a clinical psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults for more than thirty years. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to help facilitate emotional growth and to help people address the significant areas of their lives that are not going well. I believe that a collaborative relationship is most important for a successful therapeutic experience. I help people explore their emotional life in order to achieve more vital, satisfying and productive relationships with others, as well as with their own self. I try to help everyone according to their unique needs and strengths.

I believe that therapy is about helping clients to create the positive changes that they want so they can live more authentically, identify and work toward achieving their goals, and nurture healthy relationships in order to create meaning and purposeful action in their lives.

I specialize in substance abuse. I am a seasoned counselor and for the past decade my focus has been on working with individuals, groups, families, and couples who are struggling with substance use. I have led others to a life of understanding themselves and their relationships with substances. I have led many to make sense of the insanity that surrounds the disease of addiction.
