With 25 years of clinical experience, my work as a therapist is rooted in a warm, holistic, and trauma-informed approach. I guide clients through their journey of healing and self-discovery, tailoring treatment modalities to each individual's unique needs. By creating a safe space, we can explore your thoughts and feelings together, deepening your understanding of yourself and others. This self-awareness is a key step toward personal growth and positive change. I have extensive experience working with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship challenges, LGBT issues, grief, and loss.

Are you struggling with anxiety and feeling overwhelmed and are not sure how to move forward? Maybe you are arguing with your significant other and are unsure of how to resolve these conflicts. You are at a crossroads and need someone to help you through this time in your life. I truly believe you can have a life of abundance and happiness with tools and support along the way.. My approach is authentic and transparent and I am not afraid to use humor where needed to help my clients realize their full potential.

My scope of practice covers Neuro-Developmental, Depressive, Anxiety, Trauma, Disruptive, Impulse-Control and Conduct Disorders. I treat my clients through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I help my clients become aware that their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and emotions can lead to problematic behaviors. Through CBT I help clients identify and challenge these negative thoughts, and replace them with more positive and constructive ones reducing emotional distress.

We have extensive training and clinical experience with anxiety, depression and family conflict. We also specialize in behavioral modification and emotional regulation support. We have clinical experience working with children and adults who struggle with effectively managing their day-to-day tasks and regulating their emotions related to current life stressors, past trauma or underlying symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.

I believe that human beings are capable and strong when they are supported and can learn how to enlist support. I believe that with insight and awareness, individuals can change their thought and behavior patterns while exploring difficult emotions. I have significant experience with families, couples, experiential therapy, as well as trauma.

We are unique individuals, yet we also share so many things. We all have images about what our life should be like: our personality, our job, our relationships... and it can be stressful and anxiety inducing when life is not living up to what we imagined. Worse, sometimes it feels like we have a war going on inside of us and we are not sure we are winning. This is when a therapist can be very helpful. A therapist can help you to see things from a different perspective, make new connections, and explore new ways to approach your life.

Now Accepting New Clients - All relationships have challenges and sometimes asking for help can be the hardest part of moving forward.
