Are there patterns in your relationship that you want to change? Unsuccessfully trying to let go of things that happened ages ago? Wrestling with relationship dynamics? Maybe you're just feeling bad (or angry, or frightened, or trapped). The essence of my work is to understand my clients. I want to "get" what has been going on with both of you and to help you move forward. Yes . . . forward. Therapy is not just about going over the past. I firmly encourage my clients to consider more expansive views of themselves and their “stuck” relationship patterns.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with adolesents and their families. For the past 15 years, I have had the opportunity to support my clients with issues primarily around trauma, anxiety, depression, aggression, substance abuse and family conflict. I have noticed success in developing trust and rapport with adolescents by meeting them “where they are at.” I try to provide the opportunity for flexibility in what a therapy session may look like- let's meet for a walk, hang at a park, grab some food- let's figure out what works.

It is my therapeutic goal to provide a thoughtful, individualistic approach to each client. I believe that utilizing a variety of clinical skills allows me to fit an approach to each client rather fitting the client to a theoretical construct. I understand therapy to be a means to delineate that which is not gratifying in your life and determine the changes necessary to allow your life to blossom. I look forward to supporting and guiding you through this process as it can be a challenging as well as exciting journey.

I am a warm, compassionate and engaged therapist. We can work short or long term but healing trauma can take some time. I use Internal Family Systems (Level two trained) and EMDR to help heal deep core wounds and release burdens that have been carried in one's system, often for a lifetime. The work is experiential and can be truly transformative. I work with individuals, families and couples. I work well with couples committed to deep work who seek true intimacy.

My personal experiences have shaped the way I approach my work today. I sought therapy when I was overwhelmed with big life transitions. My therapist- a kind and supportive presence- created a space where I felt safe enough to explore who I was and what I needed. This experience sparked my journey of self-discovery, acceptance and growth. It's what inspired me to offer the same kind of nurturing environment to my clients.

We all have difficulties in living. Problems of self esteem often underlie these difficulties. Resulting depression and anxiety, compulsive behaviors such as overeating, overspending, alcohol abuse and unhappy, frustrating relationship choices, can be changed. My style of working has developed over many years of practice and is interactive. Clients would most likely describe me as warm, and responsive. While serious in my work I have a good sense of humor; which I believe is essential for a productive, happy life.

You’re considered to be quite successful in many areas of your life. Even though you know this is true, you don’t feel like you’re doing well at the moment. You’re smart, capable, and usually able to solve your problems, but trying to “fix” your emotional struggles just hasn’t worked. The demands of your work and personal life feel like they're just too much for you to handle right now. Your relationship with your partner might be a struggle. You may feel burned out.

I believe good therapy stems from a therapeutic relationship that fosters warmth, compassion, non- judgement and a sense of safety that allows you to show up as you are knowing that you will be met with acceptance. My therapy work with teens focuses on connecting and identify strengths, while also developing coping skills to better manage mood and improve quality of life. I work with teens and parents helping them better understand one another and giving parents the tools to support their child.
