I work with adolescents and adults as individuals, couples, and families, with issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, panic attacks, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, intimacy struggles, and existential crises. People inherently want to feel at peace, safe, secure, understood, and cared about .

I specialize in building relationships: helping parents get more cooperation and compliance from their children with less energy; helping couples beat the odds to stay happily married; and helping all types of artists connect to their creativity. My clients appreciate creativity and honest communication, value our relationship and time together and are hopeful about the future. They understand that true and lasting change comes from within and is the result of patience and concentrated effort - both in and between sessions. The process encourages clients to tell me what is and isn't working in our sessions.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”- Maya Angelou. Are you lost in your emotions and feel like life is “unraveling”? One of the bravest things you can do is seek help and begin to understand your own story. I believe early life experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world around us that can develop into negative beliefs about who we are. Over time old beliefs and patterns that once helped protect us are no longer useful and can cause disruption in all areas of life. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, let trauma control us and feel anxious/depressed/angry all the time.

Making the decision to seek out help and pursue therapy takes courage!

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most crucial component in ensuring that the client can make significant changes in their life. Everyone deserves to discuss their personal issues in an environment that provides safety, validation, compassion, and empathy. I utilize a psychodynamic approach when working with clients because I feel that our environments shape who we are. During different developmental periods in our life, there can be disruptions that cause future heartache, some which may need to be uncovered. I offer virtual sessions as well as in person sessions.
