You’re ready to understand why you feel like this. Perhaps you are dealing with recent life changes, family struggles, or relationship issues. You wonder if these feelings are temporary or normal, but regardless, you are ready to explore change. Maybe your relationships are not satisfying you, but you do not know where to start the repairing process. Perhaps you struggle with self-criticism and self-doubt. You want support and want to learn how to voice and address your needs, but at times it feels impossible. You know you can feel fulfilled, but you find it challenging to develop tools that will help you get where you want to be.

I am here to provide compassion, support, and resources to individuals, couples, and families.
Life transitions and stressful events can cause us to feel anxious or isolated. We often realize in times of transition or high stress that unhealed pain from the past rises to the surface. This can be an ideal time to reach out for support and a safe place to process your feelings. I can help you cope with your present challenges and make sense of unresolved emotions from the past. Whether you are looking to enter therapy as an individual to find your own sense of peace, as a couple to reconnect or repair a relationship, or as a family to achieve harmony and understanding, it would be an honor to be a part of your journey.

The decision to engage a therapist is deeply personal and may seem challenging. It is a unique relationship, where ideally, you can be in a safe, empathic environment and talk to someone with in depth psychological training and significant life experience. I offer both to my clients, treating individuals, couples, children, adolescents and families. These relationships have led me to focus on the treatment of: anxiety, depression, relational communications, work place stressors, substance use/abuse, attachment disorders, emotional regulation issues, self image, family systems, ADHD, grief and loss, parenting, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, impulse control, mood disorders and relational conflicts.

I know, you want a career with purpose, a relationship with passion, and a fulfilling life with more meaning.
Are you feeling stuck? In your career? In your relationship? In bad habits? In getting through a current transition? Or even just in life in general? Are you sick and tired of feeling unfulfilled in your work, of having the same arguments over & over with your significant other, of telling yourself that you aren't going to drink or party so much tonight or this weekend, or of thinking tomorrow will be different? Are you desperate to get past a current challenge or situation you are going through? Simply put, do you just want to be more happy?
