I treat individual adults 18 and older and offer day, evening and weekend hours.
FOR DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, RELATIONSHIPS, ADDICTION, TRAUMA: I blend psychology and spirituality to treat uncomfortable emotions, relationship issues, feelings of isolation, the monkey mind of the ego, as well as heavy, stuck energy that needs releasing. Psychodynamic therapy, guided meditation, and shamanic modes of healing can help shift the way you think and feel. As Einstein put it: "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." Using an integrative approach we will connect with your higher self and beyond to experience real transformation and change of consciousness.

My practice focuses on psychological evaluations for children (7 and older), adolescents, adults, and seniors. Some reasons folks seek my help is to assess for autism, intellectual deficits, learning disorders, ADHD, as well as to address possible depression/anxiety that often accompany these conditions. My approach is to learn about the whole person rather than rely on tests alone to produce an evaluation best suited to your needs.

Maybe you are needing support during this unknown and, for many people, scary time. Or, maybe you are needing a bigger change. Congratulations on taking your first step! It can be hard to select "the right therapist" from these giant lists. Sometimes it can be about chemistry and fit, and you just have to try with someone. I believe that you can find clarity and relief, and my own journey has taught me that healing and/or [some] relief is possible. I work with adults who are dealing with a variety of things such as depression or anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem or shame, and/or feelings of "stuckness" or being lost.

In addition to therapy, I have a strong background in psychological assessment and offer ADHD evaluations for adults who are concerned about their symptoms and wonder if a diagnosis of ADHD may have been missed earlier in life.
I create a space that feels safe, encouraging, and collaborative so that you can explore your life experiences and feel supported in moving toward a healthy and vibrant life. Therapy is a place to learn and try out new skills, such as managing difficult emotions or improving communication. Therapy is also a space in which people can feel deeply heard and connected, and I believe a strong relationship between a therapist and client can be profoundly helpful when going through a period of healing and growth.

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples & families.
The path to living the life you want begins where courage and fear meet. When we are low in courage and high in fear we feel unsettled, busied, strained and eventually-void of hope. The thought that life will get better or that we will feel better becomes hijacked by the void. Our day to day begins to feel meaningless. This absence of meaning can be experienced as emptiness, sadness, loneliness, despair and misery. It can also be experienced as restlessness, irritability, avoidance, stomachaches, headaches and illness. These experiences drive our thoughts, beliefs, decisions and behaviors and can lead to mental and physical decline.

I have effectively provided support to individuals dealing with a partner's addiction, single parents of children with disabilities, and young adults transitioning from the foster care system.
Throughout my life, I have noticed that I draw people to me that have struggled with a history of having instability in their childhoods. What this has looked like is individuals who have had rough childhoods and are now trying to create a better future for themselves and their children. This can be very challenging when you're building a new life and are still carrying the hurt and pain from not feeling cared for or heard as a child. The goal for these individuals is thriving in their lives by having healthy coping skills and healthy relationships.
