This has been a challenging time for all, especially for college students. I welcome those who are looking to re-engage in therapy , & for those who are reaching out for the first time!

I work with adults, both younger and older, and specialize in individual therapy. My typical client is a professional busy with the demands of work, love, family, and play. But I have a diverse practice and not everyone fits this label. I work frequently with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, and self-esteem issues. A common theme is a feeling of being stuck in negative dynamics that, best efforts to the contrary, keep repeating.

I believe that if we turn within, we can find the resources to deal with any problem and we can create a life of satisfaction, love and joy. My ideal client wants a safe, caring relationship in which to open up, share and be authentic. The journey to being oneself is very exciting and for me, therapy is about accepting oneself, expressing oneself and being honest. Doing this inner work with a guide naturally opens doors to connection and resolution of relationship and family problems and creates enthusiasm and a sense of satisfaction and purpose in one's life.

We all try to cope with our wounds & stresses in the best way we can. Complex life experiences teach us complex ways to cope by perhaps— suppressing our feelings, staying hidden to avoid unwanted attention or punishment, acting out to explain the inexplicable, performing exceptionally & anxiously well to stand out or gain approval, or taking care of others at the expense of ourselves to compensate for our family legacies & cultural dynamics. Whatever the nature and range of your experiences, you may be struggling with your past and how it impacts your present, your work, your relationship with yourself, loved ones, & the world.
