As a Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist I have a unique approach to understanding both family dynamics and individual struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, parenting etc. I focus on brief, solution focused therapy, therapy that works! Therapy and the needs of people that present for therapy have changed and you need a Psychologist/Therapist that understands the unique demands and challenges of today's world. I know that most people don't have the time or money to invest in years of therapy and getting nowhere. I combine Therapy and Life Coaching to build a treatment plan that addresses all your needs.

I’m deadly curious about what you want to say but can’t, who you want to be but won’t, and what would unfold out of you if we could together tend to the parts that are hard to bear— without judgment and without a goal for what comes next. There is a reason you have been bottling up precious parts of you. We will explore that reason, that need you had to hold yourself tightly inside. It is from this safer space that you will once again look at the long-hidden precious parts of you, and together we will see how you want to unfold from here. I'm a good fit for authenticity/identity/wounds/therapists/queer folks/over-thinkers/creatives.

There's no rewind button in life, but it offers you the chance to create a different ending from where you stand today. It takes courage to acknowledge that where you are right now isn't where you want to be. It's an act of bravery to face the obstacles and challenges that may have held you back, whether they're related to your personal life, career, or societal pressures. But remember this: within you lies the strength to persevere, to rise above adversity, and to shape your destiny. With each step you take, no matter how small, you're forging a path towards a brighter and more fulfilling future. Embrace your inner resilience!

My goal as a therapist is to assist you on your journey of self-awareness and personal discovery. I like to take a here-and-now approach during therapy and I also believe that understanding your present and being able to be fully aware of your thoughts and actions in the moment will help unlock and uncover unresolved issues from your past. I strongly believe in the concept of subjective reality. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clientele and have a special interest in working with adolescent and young adult females, and individuals and couples in areas of sexual intimacy.

Is worrying waking you up at night? Does anxiety seem to sneak up on you when you least expect it, or make you feel like you can't live the life you yearn for? Are you tired of feeling so "frozen?"
You're so much more than just your symptoms. Feeling anxious, frozen, or sad simply takes up too much energy that you could be using to feel happy, productive, and free. Isn't it time to get unstuck?

Life's challenges can often diminish our sense of joy and comfort, no matter how resilient we may be. Even the strongest individuals require support when faced with adversity. While the encouragement from friends and family can be valuable, it’s frequently insufficient for navigating the difficulties we encounter. By working together, we can cultivate the skills and strategies necessary to shift your perspective and enhance your life. My goal is to help you rediscover a renewed sense of vitality and to reignite your ability to experience joy.
