I view therapy as a transformative vehicle to empower people to deal with and overcome the challenges we all, at some time or another, face in life. Towards that end, I have been working as a Clinical Psychologist for 32 years. During that time I have treated adults, adolescents, children and couples. Although, I have particular expertise working with Depression and Anxiety I also have extensive experience working with a wide array of psychological difficulties including Bipolar Disorder, Schizoaffective Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder.

Have you or your child experienced significant trauma? After early trauma, children can struggle to attach to caregivers which can impact their ability to form healthy future relationships. Adults sometimes struggle when approaching difficult topics surrounding early childhood trauma, which can contribute to added barriers within the parent child relationship. While many adults are willing and motivated to help their children overcome adverse experiences, they may have their own unresolved trauma that continues to interfere.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate through various mental health presentations. I have been certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Clients are assessed, and with them, a unique, meaningful, and strength-based treatment plan is developed. Meeting clients where they are is the number one priority, and through the use of various therapeutic strategies and a healthy and positive therapeutic relationship, clients are encouraged to identify and work through that which prevents them from living an authentic, rewarding, and fulfilling life.

Let's be honest, each of us at times feels overwhelmed and/or disconnected from our usual selves. It may be a struggle to accept our feelings or lack of feeling in the midst of overwhelm. At this point, our thoughts generally tend to be more negative and self-deprecating than "normal". We can get caught in a downward spiral that affects our self-concept, physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, creativity, and work production. Most of us will, with time, be able to stop the spiral and start returning to the person we were before the initializing event.

I understand that it is difficult asking for help, especially from a stranger. I believe that a warm and supportive environment is essential in the therapeutic process. My goal is to empower each client and to help them realize their potential.

Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma—it's all hard, and each challenge is different, so an ideal client is someone who is ready to work on their goals. I enjoy helping clients work through whatever concern or crisis they have. Being able to watch as someone makes the connections or meets a goal is always rewarding and the best part of the job.

Experiencing trauma can often create a response similar to a pebble thrown into a still pond. The incident may seem small at first, but the ripples swell out and disrupt your sense of control and balance. If you have experienced Anxiety/Depression, Sexual Assault, PTSD or other negative experiences, you most likely are familiar with the rippling effects of distressed feelings, amplifying intrusive thoughts as well as emotions of anger, pain, sadness, despair and more. Distressing and unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, and even physical ailments can interrupt your relationships, education, career, finances or more.

I use both a holistic and integrative approach that is general in practice yet customized to individuals. I work with individuals of all ages and utilize curiosity, compassion, and humor to provide a safe, nurturing space to foster healing, meaning making, and well-being.

I believe that aspects unique to each family system (i.e., attachment, multigenerational processes, cultural/spiritual beliefs) are some of the key indicators of an individual’s personal life experience and the development of their identity. All of these things contribute to the way that we interact and connect with others, which makes relationships complex, and sometimes difficult to navigate. My areas of focus include perinatal mental health related issues, attachment injury repair, and navigating phase of life transitions.

Therapy is an interesting thing - many people have preconceived notions of what therapy is or should be. Therapy, to me, is simple. You have some issues in your life that are bothering you - maybe you feel down, maybe you can't get your relationships to work. Everything that you've tried hasn't been helpful or, ultimately, hasn't gotten you where you want to be. That's where I come in. I can help you pick up your issue, turn it to an angle that maybe you haven't seen yet, and brainstorm new ways to address it.
