I work with youth that have big personalities! They are complex, intense, passionate, independent, curious and very loving. They are also very smart, charismatic, and creative. They are all or nothing! One minute they are laughing, the next they are screaming. These children experience reduced filtering and advanced processing of information which causes them to have a hypervigilant stress response system. This affects learning, motivation, memory, the pursuit of pleasure, and self-regulation. This neurobiological quality is behind their intensity and originality. However, the right environment is key for their healthy functioning!

Starting and continuing therapy can be a vulnerable experience and it takes courage. I want to welcome you and thank you for taking the next step for yourself. Whether you are seeking therapy because of anxiety, depression, life transitions, struggles with relationships or a general dissatisfaction with life I appreciate your willingness to show up for yourself. Therapy can help you get unstuck, feel happier and more present. It can provide you with tools and insights you need to create a life you love. My approach is humanistic, holistic, somatic and heart-centered.

I believe we all have struggles to overcome throughout our lifetimes. If you are finding yourself in a challenging spot, whether that may include life transitions, loss, or emotional or physical difficulties, you may feel stuck. My goal is to help those with whom I work harness their inner strength and resources while learning new skills to get through whatever life may throw their way. As Thich Nhat Hanh, the Zen Buddhist spiritual leader, has said, "No mud, no lotus." I believe we can grow and blossom with the right support, no matter how dark things may seem.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience assisting adults, adolescents, and children work though emotional challenges, conflicts, and transitions. I believe every person is unique with distinct experiences, characteristics, and needs. My treatment is therefore an integration of different approaches tailored to the client's individualized needs. Symptom relief and attainment of goals begin with the establishment of a collaborative relationship in which my client can actively participate, experiences trust and confidence in my work, and feels respected, heard, and understood.
