Everyone has goals in life, but at times it may be difficult to achieve those goals, resulting in feelings of anxiety or depression. Using a holistic, strength-based approach we will explore factors that may have gotten in the way of achieving your goals, such as life stressors, relationship difficulties, or insecurities. Together we will focus on addressing these obstacles in order to allow you to achieve your goals and thrive. I also offer psychological testing to investigate what obstacles may be present (i.e., ADHD, memory problems, personality characteristics, etc.) and provide recommendations on how to best overcome them.

My clinical experience has focused primarily on helping individuals in the adolescent to young adult age, which is a critical phase of development, addressing issues around identity formation and family conflict. Diagnoses and presenting problems most prevalent for this age include major depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, oppositional defiance, ADHD, schizophrenia, self-harming/high risk behaviors (cutting, eating disorders, and substance use) and suicidal thoughts & behaviors. My work with this particular age population often includes helping the family system in areas such as conflict resolution, family communication patterns and repair in attachment & connection.

As a clinical psychologist with more than 10 years of specialized training and experience, I am dedicated to providing effective and research-based approaches to treatment with genuine compassion, empathy, and care. It is my goal to help empower you to change your life by using treatment and assessment techniques designed for both common life stressors and complex mental health conditions. It is my belief that creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment is essential for my client's growth and I work hard to provide an environment with which my clients feel safe to challenge themselves and grow.

Positive, compassionate counseling for adults of all ages. Practicing psychotherapy has been a passion of mine for several years.

The therapy I provide is transparent, warm, emotionally focused, compassionate, and solution oriented. I have over 15+ years of clinical experience and worked in multiple settings over these years. Whether you have panic attacks, obsessions, limerance, trauma relate symptomologies, or your partner is not giving you what you need, I offer the support and ears that you need to help process your emotions and thoughts. I am a therapist who not only will validate your emotions, but also give you the tools and skills based on my knowledge and expertise. I will be gentle and follow at your pace.

Many people often experience feelings of being misunderstood or isolated in difficult situations where their loved ones are unable to help them navigate their emotional responses. My approach to therapy is to hear you, to understand your perspective, and to provide a supportive environment for authentic self-expression. I enjoy assisting clients with growth and discovery of new pathways to healing. Whether you are experiencing difficulty with depression, anxiety, communication, trauma, relationships, identity, or growth, I will be able to assist you in processing your experiences by providing guidance toward finding your balance.

Are you feeling stuck although you've already achieved a lot in your life? Do you feel you have reached many of the goals in life you set for yourself, and yet still feel there is something missing or have feelings of depression and emptiness? Do you have a difficult time enjoying the success that you have achieved? Perhaps you have a feeling of not being able to reach your full potential? These are often signs of a neglect from an early home life that was lacking, to a degree, in nurturing and support.

I believe: Perspective, courage and determination can transform one’s life. Confidence comes with self acceptance. Suffering is over rated.

Working with children and teens is my passion! My office is a safe place to explore ways to cope with the stress of school, friendship challenges, peer pressure, parent-teen conflict, and those really intense emotions that can be so overwhelming...sadness, anger, anxiety. During high school teens and their parents often face challenges with communication, trust, respect, and boundary setting...I am here to empower you and your teen to use tools to better understand and connect with each other.

I believe deeply in the transformative potential and enduring nature of psychotherapy. When we're feeling stuck, confused or alone, therapy can help us to untangle our emotions, clarify our struggles, and better understand ourselves and others - ultimately forming inroads to real and lasting change. I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist: I establish a safe, non-judgmental space where our mutual exploration of your relationships, family history, career, sexuality, or whatever is troubling you currently - as well as aspects of our therapeutic relationship - will open pathways to new awareness and opportunities for welcome change, growth and healing.
