I invite you to join me in a therapeutic relationship based on respect, where you can learn from your life story and history (the good, bad and ugly).
I’m passionate about our capacity for healing and growth and love partnering with individuals and couples to create an empowering dynamic. As we move toward our most authentic Self, we can establish a deeper sense of personal and relational connection. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship with a compassionate, supportive, insightful therapist to walk alongside you is an act of great self-care, as we aspire toward fulfilling our desires and living our best lives. I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist and consultant to family-owned businesses. I’m also a music school owner and huge fan of musicians and artists!

I specialize in treating anxiety and depression, trauma, adjustment issues, acute stress, identity issues including sexual orientation concerns, family of origin issues, interpersonal conflicts including dating, relationship and marital problems, and grief and loss.
I am genuine with my clients, and prioritize developing a relationship in which they feel consistently supported and challenged. I have been practicing short and long-term therapy since 2006, and work collaboratively with my clients to guide them to a better understanding of the presenting issue, to highlight their strengths and resources, and to help them to identify other ways of approaching complex problems. Psychotherapy can be the first step towards developing insight into our problems, allowing for symptom relief and for creating more possibilities for meaningful experiences in our lives.

Effective therapy begins with the building of a trusting relationship between therapist and client, and a curiosity on the client’s part about why he or she behaves and feels the way they do. Patients would not come to therapy if they didn’t want a fresh take on how they see themselves and the important people in their world. This is the beginning of a new chapter. It doesn’t happen all at once. And although therapy is not about the therapist, patients have to sense that they know and can trust the person they are talking to.

For over ten years I have been helping people learn better ways to cope and work through feelings of anxiety, frustration and even numbness. My goal is not only to help people reduce these overwhelming feelings but also improve the important relationships in their lives. I feel that it is an important part of the healing process to help individuals communicate more effectively with the people in their lives. Through being better able to express themselves, my clients' stress and feelings of isolation are reduced and their self-empowerment and self-confidence grow.

Clients who are truly ready to for participate in their own personal growth from therapy are encouraged to reach out. Highly organized professionals have sought out therapy at different times in their lives due to an undercurrent of constant stress, stemming from an unknown source. Sometimes these sources begin to affect our relationships, or career, or our level of functioning that we expect from ourselves. As a therapist, I will provide a safe space to experience vulnerabilities, learn strengths, and overcome these obstacles. But, I will expect my clients maintain their responsibility of participation in the therapeutic process.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
