I utilize an integrative approach depending on client needs that includes an attachment-based lense, family systems, and is strength based and solution oriented.
I work with adults, teens, and children experiencing a range of concerns including anxiety, stress, parenting issues, school or work challenges, and life transitions. Clients are often interested in taking a pause, reassessing their current situation, and collaborating to try new approaches, improve coping skills and resilience. My goal is to help clients move forward in their daily lives with greater ease, a sense of purpose and peace, and curiosity to care and connect to themselves and others authentically.

I have 30 years of experience helping people like you find relief from anxiety, stress and worry, and get clarity about next steps in your life. We all get stuck sometimes. If you're ready for relief, more true control and inner freedom, contact me for a free 15 minute phone consult to talk about what emotional freedom can mean for you and your life.

Using an integrative approach, I will work collaboratively with you to identify and build upon your strengths, and help you make connections to increase your insight and ability to heal.
Thanks for choosing to learn more about my practice. It is my hope that together we can work on healing old wounds and achieving peace and fulfillment. Areas of specific interest: empowering young adults in their identities as they move toward independence from their family of origin; helping clients to improve communication, increase connection, and strengthen boundaries where needed in their relationships; and working with parents to better understand and address the feelings/unmet needs behind a child's behaviors and helping parents to prepare for their child's emerging independence and the eventual "empty nest."

I use an integrative approach that blends evidence-based practices grounded in the psychological literature. I have experience working with adolescents and adults to eliminate: anxiety, stress, and anger issues; depressive and bipolar mood symptoms; relationship, work, and school issues; rumination and repetitive behaviors; and substance use problems. Therapy is a process that can involve learning skills, working through challenging emotions, motivating ego, behavior change, interpersonal effectiveness, and identity formation factors.

My approach is integrative - lots of guided discovery and sensitivity to factors that can be missed, such as cultural attitudes that impact a person’s sense of self and safety.
Have you been moving through life struggling to reach goals, maintain healthy relationships, and experience academic or professional success and fulfillment? Did you miss the opportunity to focus on your mental health as an anchor to support your self-esteem and wellbeing? I want to provide a safe space for you to explore your inner world – your thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations of events that trigger mood instability- and discover adaptive strategies to ground yourself and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

We then work together to accomplish your goals using integrative, evidence-based and informed practices.
No longer alone. We are here with you. In life, we experience different events, such as the recent pandemic, financial stress, overwhelming anxiety and pressure, the loss of a loved one, the unexpected divorce, a difficult birth, etc. and adjust the best we can, using our strengths and supports. We mostly do well. However, sometimes our coping strategies are insufficient to achieve our long term goals and heal our emotional and/or relationship wounds. You turn to others for support and guidance, such as family, friends, religious and ethnic community, and sometimes, you want to go deeper within yourself to seek out the answers.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and are seeking relief through an integrative, relational, and somatic approach. Drawing on somatic techniques such as EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, I support my clients in connecting to the felt sense of their bodies as a source of information. I believe that a gentle inquiry into the body’s felt sense allows us to safely integrate the past into the present and clarify what’s true for us in any given moment.

Hello! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who's worked professionally for 8 yrs in addition to my prior 6 yrs of clinical training in various community outpatient, managed care, and hospital settings. While I have extensive experience across the age span, my current focus is adolescent, young adult, and adult therapy. My clinical specialties include trauma, adjustment/transitional challenges, and healthy identity development. Experiencing incongruence between one's expectations and reality at a critical time in one's life can lead to a cascade of mental health symptoms, impairing one's ability to respond adaptively and thrive.
