If you've been feeling more anxious than usual and sometimes totally numbed out, I want to meet you. Because you tend to experience your life and your emotions very deeply, you were often told you were “the sensitive one” growing up, and it wasn't used as a compliment. Let's rewrite that narrative together. I'm here to help you understand your mind-body connection so that you can use your sensitivity to your advantage.

Dwell in the possibility of what your life can be...It is my belief that you can create anything you want for yourself or your life.

Finding a psychotherapist you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings with can seem like a great challenge. As you search, it is helpful to be mindful of what is bringing you to therapy and what you are wanting from a therapist. When you find someone you think you may be able to bond with, you can talk with them about what you are looking for and if you don't know, ask them how they envision working with you. As a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I believe that meeting the client where they are is the key to creating a safe and supportive environment conducive to change.

Are you married or in a relationship and struggling to get along, communicate or feel close to your partner? Believe it or not, there are skills that couples need to learn to manage their relationship in a healthy way and feel close. Many couples end up putting their relationship at the bottom of the priorities because of busy work schedules, raising children and managing life. Happy, healthy relationships take work and effort. I teach couples how to get "unstuck" in their dynamics to create more connection, intimacy and fun. I also work with couples dealing with the trauma of infidelity and how to work through the pain and sadness.

THERAPY WORKS. IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Will it work for you? It depends. Y'ever wonder why you're not where you want to be in your life - why things aren't turning out as planned? Image that changing. I have opinions and theories, and I'm willing to share them with you fairly early on. I'm not just going to watch you make the same mistakes over and over again without saying something to you. I won't make your decisions for you, but I will help you examine consequences and encourage you to make better choices.
