Integrating a variety of treatment approaches, I work with adults of all ages experiencing diverse challenges, including anxiety, depression, loss and grief, and prolonged or sudden trauma.
When you are struggling with problems that seem new and confusing, or come up against issues that have been with you most of your life, your wise inner Self may say, “It’s time for some help.” I will journey with you as you identify needs, remove blocks, and make choices resulting in greater freedom. A safe, consistent environment will allow you to ask the questions, dare to hear the answers, and commit to doing whatever you decide will enrich, will deepen, your life. I will listen intently, focus questions, suggest different perspectives, explore strategies for addressing stuck places, and support your courageous efforts to change.

I specialize in anxiety, grief, communication and relationship issues, chronic illness, depressed mood, and alcohol and drug related problems.
Perhaps you’re overwhelmed right now and are looking for help addressing stress, anxiety or grief. Maybe you’re depressed and you’d like to see improvement in your mood. Perhaps it’s the loss of a relationship or problems with the one you’re currently in that brought you here. Maybe you want to be heard and understood and improve communication in your relationships. You might even be noticing that your drinking has increased and that concerns you. In therapy, you'll get support in managing concerns like these. You probably want someone who is easy to talk to, who will listen to you and guide you, yet without judging you.

In life, we face a myriad of transitions, which impact us throughout every decade of our journey. Such transitions often cause anxiety, depression and/or a sense of sadness, loneliness or loss of direction. We may wonder "who am I now" or "where do I belong". Life changes impact our relationships with romantic partners, our parents, our children and our friends. I specialize in working with people as they navigate life's transitions. I help clients to understand and make sense of what can bring greater satisfaction into their lives, with a focus on building more effective and adaptive coping skills.

Your relationship with family, friends, and, of course, yourself is of the most importance.

Reaching-out for help could be the most courageous gift you could give yourself. I would be honored to help you through these struggles. I would like to give you the very best individual psychotherapy or couples counseling. I do not offer a "band aid" approach to therapy, meaning, the process to feeling better is one that requires a confidential, authentic, and meaningful relationship with me.
