I am an experienced therapist working with individuals and families for over 20 years. During this time, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. My clients begin therapy as a means of overcoming obstacles or issues that prevent them from moving forward toward the individual goals they have set for themselves.I help them assess and explore clear and realistic goals. My early expertise working was with adolescents with social, emotional, family or school issues. The diversity of having worked in mental health, abuse/trauma, community education & private practice has helped me adopt a versatile tailored approach to treatment.

I have been providing therapy to individuals since 2009. Over these years, I’ve come to more fully appreciate that each of us has the potential within to develop a more fulfilling and meaningful life, while more effectively handling the pain that inevitably goes along with it. Do you want to learn how to stop denying, avoiding, and struggling with what holds you back and prevents you from doing what is truly important? Would you like to reduce the impact and influence of difficult thoughts and feelings, and take action to build a life that is rich, full, and meaningful? These are skills that can be learned in therapy.

Relationships, careers, and retirement dreams cannot thrive when you are hurting. I work with adults, both individuals and couples, to treat grief, anxiety, depression and difficult life transitions (retirement, divorce, relocation, illness, end-of-life issues), as well as communication and sexual functioning. Some clients are anxious to free themselves from nagging issues of the past, while others struggle to discern the best path for their future. I support couples who want to increase intimacy, and I help couples who have already decided to separate to do so as respectfully as possible.

Unfortunately, counseling/therapy is still often viewed as reserved mostly for individuals with severe mental disorders.The truth is that all healthy individuals, of all ages, cultures, social and economic backgrounds, experience difficulties in life and there is nothing wrong or shameful in asking for a helping hand. As a experienced therapist I offer counseling sessions for children, adults, seniors and couples.

You don’t feel like you’re “enough” — smart enough, successful enough, attractive enough, etc. Throw in social media, and the comparisons are a daily struggle. You constantly worry about what others think or say about you, and this might affect your relationships. At some point, you stopped being friends with yourself. And you want it to change, and you’re ready to put in the work. The good news is, you’ve found a therapist (Ahem: Me) who wants to help. I’ve struggled with low self-esteem, as a teen and young adult, and it. Is. Hard. In our work together, we’ll explore what you need, understand why, and how to get there.

Life can be hard, and it’s easy to feel disconnected, lost, overwhelmed, or off-balance as we navigate the challenges of being human. During those times, we need a safe space where we feel seen and heard, where we are encouraged to experience our emotions, where we can be ourselves. Ted Lasso reminded us to “be curious, not judgmental”. For me, that is what therapy is all about. Being present and listening, without judgment. Therapy isn’t necessarily about “fixing” something that’s “broken”. Sometimes, the work is more about awareness, insight, self-exploration, or acceptance. We get curious, we ask questions, we explore. Together.
