There comes a time when we get tired of feeling stuck in the same old patterns. We suddenly see our lives clearer, realizing we’re no longer satisfied and yearn for change. This dissatisfaction takes on a different flavor for each individual. It can come in the form of a realization of our unfulfilled needs, an exhaustion of performing for others, resentment at having our boundaries crossed far too many times, or a growing bitterness and overall displeasure for life. Perhaps, we’ve tried other modes of healing or even short-term therapy, frustrated at the lack of quick results. Until, the recognition hits us, we must look deeper.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides individual, couples, and group therapy. My primary theoretical approach is insight oriented psychotherapy for individuals working through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and adjustment to transition through life's challenges. I believe healthy people seek therapy for a variety reasons throughout life, and psychotherapy can help you find a more genuine and integrated way of living and relating to others. I work collaboratively to recognize patterns and become aware of unconscious habits and choices that impact one's life and functioning.

What makes someone change and what makes someone, no matter how hard they try, unable to? We arrive at a crossroads in life where we are suffering and no longer want to be a prisoner of circumstance. Our history and vices and pressure to perform for the well-being of others and business narrow our path, and we continue to participate in an endless cycle of destructive behavior. My clients want to give themselves the best chance to understand why we are the way we are and how to make better choices.

My passion lies in collaborating with young adults, families, and women in a transition of life. Clients often turn to me for support and guidance during periods of heightened stress, or at point of overwhelm for ongoing challenges. They want new coping skills and effective communication strategies to acquire sustained peace. Together, we set goals, and gradually integrate aligned supportive behaviors into their life, or view of self. We do so at the pace needed to ensure these new strategies become familiar and effective tools of change for the client.

“I hate my body.” If you’re struggling with an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, or disordered eating habits, these statements may sound familiar. A challenging relationship with food and body image can be debilitating and all-consuming. What you may be surprised to discover is that your obsession with weight, constant battle with eating, and urges to use self-destructive food behaviors are actually not about food or weight! They are, however, symptoms of deeper internal conflicts and emotional dysregulation - trauma, depression, anxiety, oppression, family turmoil, and low self-esteem. This is where I can help.
