At its best, therapy helps you find answers within yourself. I start with a belief in the basic, natural goodness of every person. I believe, as did Carl Jung, that even the most distressing symptoms are expressions of the individual’s tendency toward growth and healing. In other words, symptoms like anxiety, anger, and depression are signs not of a “sick person,” but of the psyche protesting against unhealthy circumstances.

Viktor Frankl noted "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." With more than 15 years in practice focusing on healthcare providers, patients and families experiencing significant stress, loss, and life-threatening and end-of-life decision making, I have seen the full scope of human suffering, resilience, compassion and grace. Our time together will be spent unpacking these moments and how they have shaped our pain, our lives and our hopes within experiences outside our own control.

I am interested in your unique needs and helping you in the most indivualized way possible. I want to help you identify and reach your therapeutic goals, and put an end to self-sabatoging thoughts and behaviors. While therapy can often be hard work, it's worth it to feel better in your relationships with yourself and others. Beginning therapy can feel like a scary step and I know how important the therapist-client relationship can be in working through issues together. Please note: I am not an in-network provider with any insurance companies.

My primary interest is the treatment of trauma. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have added Deep Brain Reorienting. These methods can help you process through and move beyond difficult memories so they no longer trigger intense emotions. Neurofeedback (brain biofeedback) is an additional intervention I now offer which can be helpful in healing trauma by calming the brain. You can experience peace of mind and a general sense of well-being. If you or a loved one suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares or mood instability, there is hope in effective treatment.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
