Updated 1/20/24, I am not taking new clients at this time. My specialty is working with teen and adult trauma survivors. I treat victims of violence and abuse, as well as individuals suffering from anxiety and panic disorder, phobias, depression, and other stress related issues. Terrible events or repeated daily stresses can affect anyone and everyone, making life more difficult. Experiencing or witnessing a frightening, dangerous, or violent event can overwhelm our body’s natural coping abilities. Even more common life events like job/school stress can cause a trauma response as well.

Helping children, teens, and adults develop the capacity to live full, healthy lives is my focus. I bring warmth, openness, and a whole-person, collaborative approach to support individuals, as they work through their challenges and create tools to move forward and thrive. If you or your child are experiencing anxiety, depression, academic/workplace pressures, difficulties with family or relationships, developmental or medical challenges, life transitions, trauma histories, or simply that hard-to-place sense of feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled, we may be a great fit.

Connection is at the core of who we are, what we’re passionate about, and the most meaningful relationships we have.

I work with students and young adults, as well as those in mid-life and beyond, who experience anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, that interfere with living fully you, fully now.

All couples experience issues in their relationship. This is the challenge that comes with the incredible closeness of intimacy. Sometimes, when things seem fraught or tense, I suspect that each of you become an island: disconnected, reactive, defensive, adversarial. One or both of you are unable to see or hear anything EXCEPT: “it’s me against you.” Do you want something else: to break this cycle and relate to each other with care and respect as partners?
