Many find themselves at a point where outside support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. Clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as depression or anxiety, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as entering a new relationship or starting a new job, can be stressful. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process in which we address these challenges in a safe environment by processing events from the past, exploring current patterns of thinking and behavior, and creating plans for change in the future.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist I specialize in trauma, performance enhancement and anxiety/depression. I work with adults and adolescents to facilitate personal growth and achieve substantive change in their lives. Negative cognitions, unhealthy beliefs and emotions can be linked to unresolved disturbing/traumatic experiences from ones past. The remnants of these experiences can lead to low self-esteem, self-doubt, and emotional dysregulation. I assist clients to cultivate greater self-awareness while reprocessing the past disturbances in a way that enhances self-confidence, personal performance and interpersonal relationships.

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.

I work with adolescents and adults on an individual, couple, or family basis. Having experience with both clinical and medical social work has provided me the ability to help and guide others through empathy and education. I specialize in anxiety, depression, chronic illness, addiction, loss and grief, and relationship issues. I also can assist with body image and eating disorders as well as career coaching and daily life skills.

Being a LMFT means to me that the focus of treatment is to improve relationships. I believe the most important relationship in a persons life is the relationship they have with themselves. In my experience people often treat others much better than they treat themselves. I enjoy going on a therapeutic journey with people to help find themselves, to find that compassion that they give to others and to learn that they too deserve that same love and compassion. I like to use art as a way of expression (when needed) with my clients because I believe that art can communicate what words sometimes cannot.

With compassion and empathy, I'm dedicated to helping clients navigate these difficult times. Your therapist must be someone that you feel comfortable with and provide a safe space to open up and discuss difficult topics. I have been described as non-judgemental and easy to talk to. My role is to guide you, by providing a framework and the necessary tools to achieve your goals. I will be working with you while exploring life from a variety of lenses, and incorporating different perspectives while striving to bring peace and comfort to your life.

I've been involved in the behavioral health field over 30 years working with children and adults. In that time, I have become acquainted with numerous types of treatment. I've seen many positive responses to these techniques but have also heard clients state how the reality of their lives did not always fit the mold of some approaches. This "fitting a square peg into a round hole" has been an issue for some clients in previous treatment. Though issues people experience can be common to others, they are also specific to the individual. This makes more generalized treatments difficult.

I understand that people seek out therapy often times looking for solutions to issues impacting their daily lives. My therapeutic approach is nurturing, interactive, strength-based and solution-focused. Using empathy, compassion, humor, and an objective perspective, I collaborate with clients to develop an effective approach to their current life challenges as well as addressing long standing personal, familial, and relationship concerns. I work to assist clients in accessing their own unique strengths and resources to create an attainable, ongoing plan to reduce their stress and life struggles.

Is it true that one can take steps to become healthier, happier and more productive in their lives? We often find that we get easily wrapped up in the hustle bustle of daily living, and we can tend to forget about ourselves while taking care of those around us. Perhaps, you have found that coping skills that were effective in the past, are no longer working, and have become problematic. Has addiction impacted your life in a profoundly negative way, or is sustaining long term sobriety difficult? We can begin a journey to more positive perspectives.

Telehealth ONLY.For many, the "golden" years(later middle-age through end of life)are a time full of welcomed change and reflection. Still, medical conditions, relationship changes, and new life circumstances are just a few of the many stressors leaving seniors and caregivers feeling overwhelmed. I have counseled seniors living with dementia, as well as depression and anxiety. I have coached caregivers who find themselves balancing work responsibilities with care needs of children and aging parents. Most of my clients have similar goals: to be happier,improve relationships,and find a better quality of life.
