I have over a decade of experience working with clients with trauma and crisis-related anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. My primary focus is helping you to move past difficult times in your life, cope with significant changes and enjoy your life's potential. I have worked in inpatient psychiatric units, specializing with PTSD, as well as crisis stabilization, substance use and group therapy. I have worked with family members who have loved ones with mental health issues.

You care deeply—about your relationships, community, and how you show up for others. You’re the one people call on for guidance and support. You don't want to burn out but find yourself pushed to your limits. You feel pressured to hold it all together to continue being there for others; even as you navigate your own worries about loss, change, and conflict. You want relief, yet the very idea of it overwhelms you with immense guilt and self-criticism. You're tired of feeling stuck, and are looking for a way to continue caring for your partner and/or aging parents while feeling connected to yourself, your needs, and your creativity.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

Navigating the complexity of today’s stress levels can be difficult. If you add to that, the problems with addiction, relationships, trauma, and low self-esteem, then life, in general, can be overwhelming. Selecting the right Therapist is an important step in building your support team for recovery. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to develop and provide integrated (addiction/mental health) services to individuals, families, and corporations for more than 30 years.

You've likely read countless therapist bios and blurbs by now. Allow me to respect the issues pressing against your time by not advertising generic compassion. After all, it may be a problem of time leading you to this website. Maybe your relationships stay in the same conflict; perhaps life hurries you without direction. A vague sense of yourself may linger outside your grasp – is that person hinting for (or hiding from) your attention? I wonder why? Together in our work, we could attempt to hold the afflictions expressed through such stories with curiosity and care by inquiring into their necessities for the life you're living.

Is your child becoming more depressed, anxious or defiant, spending way too much time on devices? Are you experiencing more anxiety, depression, or confusion about where you are at this point in your life and where to go from here? Are you a creative person? As individuals, we can struggle to strike a balance between our careers, our hobbies and interests, and our relationships with our partners and children. You may feel life is getting more difficult. I have extensive experience working with children, teenagers and with artistic people to follow their passions, stay realistic and not let a mental health disorder hinder them.

Making the choice to come to therapy requires an incredible amount of courage. From the first interaction I hope to convey my deep respect for choosing to look at the parts of ourselves that are not working. Exploring what has you stuck can seem daunting and frustrating. My viewpoint of clients, is that they are strong, capable and willing to engage with themselves from a perspective of learning and growth. Therapy allows for us to heal in the context of a relationship, allowing for the creation of new narratives about our ability to trust, connect, and give and receive care.

In today's world we are surrounded by constructive and destructive forces. It is easy to get sucked in by the destructive forces such as fear or negativity which can lead to uneasiness, isolation, and disappointments. I believe therapy can be a helpful space to shift your focus to more constructive forces within yourself, your family, and your community. Therapy can help you to channel the pain into creation of a peaceful act, whether that's developing greater self-compassion, or untangling any relationship issues.

Are you ready to try something different? Life, and the changes that come with it, can be really difficult at times, especially in this modern age. Does this sound familiar? You wake up one morning and it just feels too difficult to get yourself going. You are watching your friends go through life events while you feel like you're still trying to figure things out. You find yourself crying while driving your car, and you can't explain why. You are constantly arguing with a loved one and you just can't stop.

I believe therapy is meant to be experimental, experiential, and collaborative. Carl Jung said, "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." Insights in therapy have the potential to be challenging and painful, and my job is to help you through them. A spirit of non-judgment, empathy, directness, and sense of humor defines my style. My goal is to assist clients in connecting to their authentic Selves, for the purpose of overcoming negative thinking, self-destructive patterns, and unfulfilling relationships.

Many of us have lived-experiences where we’ve been forced to disconnect from the most fundamental aspects of ourselves. This disconnection, & the beliefs we construct to protect ourselves from the pain of this, serves as the basis for much suffering. I believe rebuilding a positive relationship with your whole being (mind/body/spirit) is a fundamental principle of healing & that a safe therapeutic relationship is one way we can grow capacity for the exploration, understanding, & reclamation of self required to heal. I aim for our work to bring you into contact with the self-observer, advocate, and healer inside you.
