That's why I specialize in supporting adults and teenagers as they navigate life's challenges.
Life throws a lot our way, right? Work dilemmas, family stuff, that nagging feeling you haven't quite figured it all out. Maybe life feels overwhelming right now. Whatever is on your mind, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to go it alone. This won’t feel overwhelming clinical, and it won’t be a vent session either (unless you want it to be). Our time together will help bring clarity and perspective to equip you with the skills and strategies you need to flourish. We are not just going to talk. We'll work together to find solutions and build the concrete skills you need to thrive.

When human beings experience distress or severe life stressors, it is not unusual for their lives to unravel. My significant desire is creating therapeutic interventions to individuals who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I help my clients, who include children, adults, and families, to find healthy visions of themselves and aid their relationships. I know that no single method is the right one for every individual, and so I have experience in a range of modalities including TF-CBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing.

Do you want to feel more security and depth in your relationships? To feel more confident expressing yourself, creating boundaries, and living life in an authentic, brave, and embodied way? I believe that therapy can be a transformative process when a relationship of trust and attuned listening is cultivated. We can work towards self-awareness, self-compassion, and embracing the imperfections and vulnerabilities that make relationships the most meaningful stuff of life. I specialize in supporting teens and adults with life transitions, family/relational issues, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma.

I look forward to helping adults and children cope with issues that are interfering with their capacity to enjoy their daily life. I work individually with adults to help with issues related to life-transition (e.g., moving to a different country, transition into parenthood, career changes, etc.), anxiety, depression, body image, and relationship problems. I also enjoy working with children who struggle with parents' divorce, academic difficulties, relationships, inhibition, and trauma. Finally, I offer support groups for expecting parents or parents of young children (0-5 years old).

For over 30 years I have offered insight-oriented and supportive counseling for adults.
Clients see me as a warm, nonthreatening person with whom they can talk openly. Individuals seek my help for a variety of reasons: in order to resolve emotional unrest due to relationship issues, to gain insight into themselves and develop more adaptive ways of coping with psychological conflicts and life challenges, and to learn cognitive/behavioral strategies to better manage physical pain, anxiety, depression and stress. My goal is to work with a person who is typically in a great deal of emotional pain at the outset, but through our collaboration, is then able to make healthier choices that enhance rather than hurt their life.

In my practice I work with preteens, teens, young adults, and adults in individual, couples, and family therapy.
Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to work toward feeling better about yourself and your relationships. In session you have the opportunity to discuss your concerns in a safe, caring, and supportive setting. I use an active approach to help you identify patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are not working and help you develop new patterns that can lead to reduced distress and improve your relationships. Many people I work with come with depression, eating disorders, anxiety and relationship or marital issues. Others come to talk about parenting concerns, family issues or adjustment to life changes and stresses.
