With a decade of prior experience in mental health, my background includes extensive work with children, teenagers, and adults with severe and acute mental illnesses.
Therapy should be a space where you feel completely at ease being yourself, where you can express every emotion without the fear of judgment. It is essential that this environment allows you to be open and authentic, knowing that all feelings are welcomed and respected. Our work together is fundamentally a collaboration; while I provide guidance and support, you are the expert on your own life. You know best what you want and what you feel, and it is my role to honor and facilitate that understanding. Trust is the cornerstone of our therapeutic relationship, and I view it as a profound privilege when clients place their trust in me.

I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief, family conflict, anger, life transitions, and marital issues. I enjoy working with clients who desire to have someone help them in navigating these issues and finding their own unique path to wholeness. I strive to create an environment of genuine acceptance that promotes a sense of safety and encouragement for personal and familial growth. I have had over four years of experience focused on working with younger adolescents and their families addressing conflict, behavior problems, and family relationship dynamics.

My practice is exclusively dedicated to serving adults with OCD. I offer an intensive and highly customized approach based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combined with Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP). Although ERP is the gold standard treatment for OCD, misconceptions about ERP often result in unnecessary fears. The pain of ERP treatment is no greater, and often less, than the pain you are already in. You will find my approach respectful, affirming, and gentle.

"For the past sixteen years I have worked with adults struggling with issues in individual, couples or group therapy.
"Many times in life we are faced with challenges that we did not expect or even see coming. We may not have the personal experience or the background to know how to handle or cope with the situation. It may involve a life change or a lot of emotional pain. We may feel that our life will never be the same. We may not know what the next move needs to be. Maybe we just need an environment where we can work through the emotional pain. Maybe it is time to get a new direction in life.

I am passionate about the work I do with couples, families, and individual adults, teens, and children.
As your therapist, my goal will be to build a trusting relationship that allows you to feel safe, heard, seen, and valued so that you have the confidence to take steps towards your individual and relational growth. We will work together to identify the barriers that have left you feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself and others, and seek to create avenues for healthy and fulfilling relationships.

Hello! I am a therapist that specializes in family therapy and therapy for children and teens ages 3-18. I also enjoy working with adults of all ages who are experiencing grief, anxiety, or tics. I believe that people are exceptionally resilient. However, there are times when circumstances become too overwhelming to bear alone. Children may have difficulty sharing their emotions verbally and will instead act out, causing stress in the family. My passion is creating a safe space for healing to occur. I work with children and families experiencing anxiety, depression, tics, autism (levels 1 and 2), trauma, grief, divorce, and more.

I am a Baby Boomer. I realize I have probably lived three-quarters of my life, during which I have experienced most of the situations one can experience throughout one's life. I still have a positive outlook on the time I have left, and I want all of my generation to feel that their presence on this earth has made a difference. I have counseled families who promised to "never put Mom in a nursing home". I have counseled those who never thought they would end up there. Retirees, divorcees, widows/widowers, empty nesters, mid-life crises, what's left now?, all are welcome. Latter life situations are my specialty.
