Imagine feeling lighter, more confident, more self-supportive and more self-loving. I've helped hundreds of clients achieve this, many starting from a place of despair and incredible anxiety. It is possible to enjoy and celebrate this life! Our work together would be about getting to the heart of the issues, putting some healing there and freeing you up to be more present and available - more of who you truly are. We would utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, Trauma Informed and Spiritual Psychology methods, as well as EMDR and Integrative Nutritional Counseling. I also love working with children and teens.

I support couples who want to work hard to have the relationship they desire, but struggle to stop the conflict and find connection. If you struggle to communicate with your partner, don’t really feel heard or seen, wonder why your partner can incite such big and intense emotions in you, or feel more connected to other people in your life than to your partner, I would love to support. If you think “If only my partner would…then we could be happy” or “We used to be able to work things out, but now we get angry over the smallest, most insignificant things. It’s exhausting.” or “How did we get HERE?”, then you are in the right place.

You don’t have to go it alone. I am here to help you find your way back to living the life you want. It can happen. I'm here every step of the way. Because sometimes, things don’t turn out the way we planned. We didn’t know we would end up getting divorced, or blending families, or being a single parent, but here we are. We didn’t know we would adopt instead of birthing our own child, or be raising our grandchildren, or the difficulties we would face raising children in an LGBTQ home. But, here we are. These challenges can cause tremendous anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, confusion, sadness, and suffering. I understand.

As a licensed psychologist with experiences working with children, adolescents, adults and families with diverse backgrounds and problems, I have an open, accepting, nonjudgmental approach to psychotherapy. My goal in psychotherapy is to help individuals identify areas of difficulty that they want to modify and then assist them in finding ways to effectively adjust behavior and thought patterns that will enhance their romantic relationships, family interactions, careers and other areas of life.

Sometimes you don't really know what you have until you almost lose it. You might've told yourself that what your partner doesn't know won't hurt them. The truth is, everyone gets caught eventually and secrets can be painful. If you are struggling with the pain that you've caused yourself and someone else through infidelity, sexual addiction, or substance abuse it is not too late to get help. Most people don't recognize that they are struggling with addiction until they try to quit.

I can help you explore what is contributing to your feeling stuck and overwhelmed and move beyond it towards real healing. I work with children, teens, parents, adults and families. Being a parent myself, I can often bridge gaps between children and parents.

My work as a therapist for the past 24 years has been focused on helping people uncover what is most authentic, naturally resourceful and vividly alive in each person. The stresses and traumas of living one's life can deaden our connection with ourselves and with those we love. Emotional suffering, isolation, addiction and crisis can be powerful gateways to a deeper foundation of self-acceptance, compassion and inner freedom. Learning to utilize proven tools for recognizing and transmuting pain into the ever deepening and changing experience of your life and relationships are the foundation of our work together.

You've tried everything and nothing seems to be working. You're depressed and anxious all the time. You're afraid it will never get better. It's been so long. You really want to live a life full of joy. You're tired of feeling negative, struggling with negative thinking, fearful thoughts, and dreams. Your life feels like one big failure. You haven't reached your goals, you wonder if you have a purpose, sometimes you wonder why you're even here.
