EVENING APPTS. I chose a PhD in Clinical Psychology in order to help individuals suffering with the emotional pain and upheaval that life's ups and downs can bring. I enjoy a close working relationship and collaborative trust based connection with my patients, which brings the reward of personal growth and stimulates the healing process. With more than 28 years in the mental health profession, and 25+ years in private practice, I continue working to expand my education and experience to include a wide variety of psychotherapeutical skill sets.

Whether you are clear about what is troubling you or have something like a vague, insistent sense of not feeling good about your life, I offer a warm, collaborative relationship to explore, heal and grow. You can expect to feel a stronger sense of yourself and better able to tackle the issues at hand. You can expect to feel more responsive, less reactive in your life.

You will be in an environment where you will be heard, seen and nurtured to see your challenges, not as obstacles, but rather, as an invitation to see things differently. We will examine, explore and reframe, leading you with greater ease to make new choices, which can enhance your self-esteem, functioning and relationships. You will be given tools to gain perspective, insight, self-compassion, and greater emotional regulation. You will be given the opportunity to use art therapy, a tool which requires no skill, but only willingness, to add a profound new level of insight to your talk therapy.

I strive to meet my clients where they are at today with unconditional positive regard, this provides an unique environment that allows my clients to feel safe and supported as we work through the challenging, vulnerable, complex and emotional issues that have brought them into therapy.

Life transitions can be an overwhelming experience. Changes within relationships, school/ work positions; shifts in family systems, i.e. a new child or struggling marriage; or managing stress involved with parenting/ care-taking. Transitions may lead one to feel unprepared, discouraged, or unheard. With personal experience, in addition to working in the field of mental health and addiction, I have worked to help individuals in navigating through these changes. My hope is to provide support to you/ the family in establishing a better understanding of one's needs, as well as identifying personal and interpersonal struggles.
