I am committed to providing effective, empirically tested, affordable treatment. My approach is honest, collaborative, interactive, and nonjudgmental. Often in life we buy into stories about ourselves that seem to protect us but ultimately prevent us from moving toward the things we value. We get caught up in judging whether a behavior is good or bad, rather than asking if it is effective in creating the life that we envision.

Many people get stuck and feel disappointed or unsatisfied when they evaluate their lives. I work with clients to help them identify destructive thoughts and behaviors, manage disruptive, uncomfortable emotions, establish more fulfilling relationships, and reach a place of genuine satisfaction. I teach clients skills to increase positive feelings and we will work together to uncover deep insights and break entrenched maladaptive, negative life patterns. As your therapist, I provide a warm, directive and active role to help you meet your treatment goals.

I use cognitive, emotional, identity, relational/attachment, mindfulness and trauma focused approaches to explore and address relationship, cognitive/thought, behaviour, and mood patterns that cause, maintain, or exacerbate mental health disorders. I'm trained to assess, diagnose and treat anxiety, depressive, mood, grief, impulse control, executive functioning and substance use disorders. You'll learn to regulate emotions, explore identity, learn executive functioning skills, resolve guilt or shame, process family dynamics an experiences, enhance distress tolerance, learn effective communication, resolve intimacy challenges.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for clients who feel burdened with hard feelings. You may be navigating a period of anxiety or depression, struggling with a difficult phase of life, or are unsure how to move beyond past experiences. We will create a collaborative partnership where we can work through these questions together, empowering you to find a path back to joy and calm in your life. I work with college students, adults, am Gottman-trained in couples work, and have particular expertise with clients experiencing infertility, adjusting to parenthood or navigating the joys and challenges of older kids.

I am very passionate in creating a safe, working space for my clients to navigate life! Whether it is starting a new job, adjusting to a new location, or day to day activities, we will work to identify how to be the best version of you and learn to conquer any situation. We will utilize evidence-based tools and practices, specifically mindfulness and CBT to use in any situation.

Mental health is the core of wellness. If that isn’t cultivated, everything else in life becomes ten times harder. I have been a therapist since 2018 and have broad experience in many areas. I possess excellent communication and rapport-building skills, as well as a strong background in trauma-informed clinical care, research, and advocacy. The most rewarding thing about being a therapist is the connection I make with clients and the trust they put in me. It is an experience I am both deeply humbled by and truly grateful for.

For over 35 years, I have helped clients understand and work through a wide variety of life challenges. I provide a safe place and an experienced ear to explore such issues as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, health problems, self-esteem challenges and career struggles. I also work with many clients on relationship issues, be they couples, marital, family, work or social in nature. My style is warm, sensitive, active, and insightful. I help my clients understand and find solutions to their struggles, while helping them create more healthy, balanced and satisfying lives.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice. I had to establish this wellness center in response to feedback from my clients that they want a more holistic approach to their treatment. Some even asked for alternative to talk therapy. These are people who are dealing with more difficult and chronic issues like trauma history, weight loss issues, addictions issues, issues around impulse control difficulties, issues around difficulty with concentration as in ADHD, those dealing with chronic stress, and others who just want to improve their overall wellbeing and they are looking for support.

Greetings! There are circumstances in life that can lead people to feel anxious, depressed, stuck, or otherwise emotionally troubled. You may find yourself in patterns of unhealthy behaviors, thoughts or relationships that you can't seem to change.

It is brave to choose how you want to craft your life. Many people are struggling through big life transitions, are unhappy in their relationships, or they want to move past anxiety and depression. Therapy is a place to understand what is happening now, and how to create something different and better to feel more satisfied. If this is you, I offer a space to look at and understand what is happening in your life, and how you can regain a sense of agency to create what you want. I am warm and engaging, and together we find patterns in your life that keep showing up and getting in your way. We look at how to cultivate what you want.

Embarking on a therapeutic journey requires courage, and I commend you for taking this step in service toward your growth and healing. My approach as a mindfulness-based Intern Therapist is grounded in a holistic philosophy and oriented in Gestalt and Person-Centered therapies. My work lies in the gap between traditional psychotherapy and spiritual transformation. I aim to bridge the conceptual foundations underpinning the divide between psychology and spirituality by synthesizing authentic whole-person contact with contemplative practices, somatic psychotherapies, and scientifically proven mindfulness-based modalities.

I have two passions as a therapist: individual therapy with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD and phobias, and parent coaching (including SPACE and PCIT interventions) for the parents of young children through teens. If you are a teen or adult looking to overcome your anxiety, perfectionism, or OCD, or a parent who is looking to build or strengthen the happy, connected family life you’ve always wanted, I can partner with you to help.

I'm a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for fostering growth and resilience in individuals and families. My aim is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where clients of all ages can explore their inner worlds, overcome challenges, and discover their innate potential for healing and transformation. Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself or your child, adolescent, or family unit, I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and goals. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, low self-esteem, trauma, drug and alcohol use and more.

My approach to counseling is to create a safe space for growth and healing. I believe that growth and healing happen when people recognize that they have a circle of care (including clinicians) that show them empathy and support, that they can rely on and recognize that they have their best interests in mind. My therapeutic techniques include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create an atmosphere where the client recognizes that they are in control of their therapeutic experience.

Healing is a birth right. No matter what you've experienced and gone through-you deserve joy!
