My approach is humanistic, client-centered, and framed by compassion. My focus is on fostering an open, supportive therapeutic environment that welcomes curiosity, and encourages clients to try on new patterns of thinking and behavior. Making even gentle changes takes effort and practice; no one wants to feel discouraged or stuck in a painful place, and I like to honor that wish to decrease distress and find greater contentment.

Sleep problems require specialized treatment. A board-certified sleep psychologist, I work with adults, teens, kids, and families to improve sleep naturally. I help those who struggle to turn off their minds at night, are wide awake at odd hours, or feel unrefreshed in the morning. Many are sleepy all day but can't drift off at bedtime. I help those with distressing nightmares or vivid dreams and those who behave unusually while sleeping. Many are taking a variety of medications, substances, or supplements that aren't working as well, and I help these individuals sleep better and reduce reliance on sleep aids if that is their goal.

Do you find yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns that are causing you to show up as less than who you want to be? Are you frustrated with feeling like you have to keep it all together? Does your inability to say “no” keep you overwhelmed and out of balance? Perhaps, you are experiencing excessive worry about the future and question whether you’re on the right path or are doing enough. In cases like this, fear has taken a disruptive hold on your life and talking with friends and family, journaling and meditating just isn’t enough.

Therapy seeks to address the patterns and unresolved material unique to each of us which hampers our ability to connect meaningfully with others and limits our capacity for joy. I work with couples and individuals looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and work collaboratively to cultivate curiosity, authenticity, honesty, self-compassion, and the ability to tolerate difficult feelings. I use a combination of gestalt therapy, psychodynamic therapy, relational therapy, EMDR, and somatic interventions when working with individuals. My couple’s work is mainly inspired by family systems theory and imago therapy.

Are you a professional, looking for ways to manage stress? Are you a creative person wanting to improve your relationships or make sense of obstacles that seem to keep coming up? Maybe you're highly successful and going through a major change or loss in your life that has left you anxious, depressed, or struggling with your overall health? Sometimes therapy is helpful to get us through a rough patch. And other times, perhaps it is unresolved trauma or a difficult childhood that stands between us and a sense of ease and comfort.

I believe in the inherent worthiness of all human beings. Unfortunately, each of us likely have experiences in our lives that teach us that there is something wrong with who we at the core. Psychotherapy is a space for remembering and unearthing the self-love and gifts that each of us come into this life possessing. Through relating authentically, being compassionately curious with whatever arises, and developing a deeper relationship with the body’s intelligence, I hope to help my clients become more expressed in who they truly are, build lasting, meaningful relationships and connect more deeply to their purpose for being alive.

As a cancer survivor myself, I know first hand how scary the "C" word is. As a result of cancer treatments, often times people develop mild to severe forms of depression, anxiety, "scanxiety," and post-traumatic stress disorder. Many people experience symptoms during treatment while others are symptomatic only after they are in full remission. My practice treats fellow warriors and their families that are navigating the cancer process, survivors trying to figure out their “new normal”, individuals in remission for years but are still processing the events that once happened, and those currently experiencing metastasized cancers.

Sharing and understanding parts of ourselves or our internal struggles can be scary, vulnerable and transformative.
