Are you a college student, young professional, or new parent who is fed up with feeling anxious? You are perpetually unsatisfied, overwhelmed, and on edge. Your mind is spinning about everything you need to accomplish today or about events that may happen in the future. You're always worrying. Your chest is tight, your jaw is clenched, and your body feels uneasy all the time. You find yourself getting angry and impatient with the people you love most. Your persistent thoughts bully you and tell you you're not good enough. You’re struggling to hold it all together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in Somatic Psychotherapy. Somatic simply means "relating to the body" and in therapy this means that I have been uniquely trained to integrate the wisdom from our biology into treatment. Our bodies relate information that, should we choose to listen, can support our overall mental health. This way of working can have profound effects on anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and disordered eating. The clients that receive maximum benefit from my approach have an open mind about how the body influences thoughts, not just how thoughts influence the body.

Specializing in work with First Responders, Students, Entertainers, and Athletes, I like to keep the busy client's needs in mind. I offer evening & weekend time slots - both through teletherapy and in-person. I work with clients who are looking for long term treatment, in addition to clients who are interested in short term, solution focused care. Each client's treatment is personalized, using the modalities that work best for them. Each client has unique needs, and so, each client receives unique care and treatment.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, families and young adults. I believe that one of the most powerful aspects of the therapy process is the relationship between the therapist and client, the therapeutic relationship. our work together needs to be collaborative so that you feel both supported and safe. To achieve this I will adjust my style in order to best fit your needs and help you reach your counseling goals. I invite and encourage you to ask questions about your session. I honor your inquisitiveness about your own process.

Feeling stressed? Depressed? Frequently irritated or even just emotionally overwhelmed? You're not alone. Most people spend their days unconsciously jumping from one thought or emotion to the next. Many wind up getting hijacked by those thoughts and feelings and end up repeating the same self-destructive patterns over and over again. Few find their way clear of this. By working with me and focusing on your psychodynamics, you will come to understand yourself better, recognize your patterns, and identify a path towards true psychological freedom. My therapeutic approach is a collaborative one; I'd be happy to help you find your way.

Each of us passes through struggles that are difficult to cope with. In working together to form a therapeutic relationship we can become healthier and more able to react more skillfully to the challenges that present themselves. My work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families is based off a strong clinical foundation and woven together with compassion, respect and caring. By resolving some of our issues we can become balanced and find improved overall health (mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, emotionally).
