In addition, I also have a wealth of experience and enjoy working with adolescents and young adults dealing with depression, anxiety, separation and transitional life issues.
In my practice I see adolescents and adults. I view therapy as a place where you can more fully understand yourself and your relationships and therefore be empowered to make better choices in your life. My style is informed by dynamically oriented and relational therapy. Regardless of theory, the most important part of the process is building a relationship built on trust and safety. Through this safe and supportive environment we will help you build on your strengths and problem solving skills as well as deepen your self awareness and self understanding.

I thrive working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, attachment, complex trauma, career transitions, relationship challenges, and those affected by Alzheimer's Disease and aging.
I believe the most successful way to achieve personal goals in therapy is by developing a trusting relationship between client and clinician. Taking time to learn a client’s strengths and aspirations, as well as personal and family history with curiosity and compassion is imperative in creating this experience. The foundation of my practice is strengths-based - meaning I approach our work together with the understanding that everyone experiences challenges and has many abilities they can utilize in order to improve the stress and frustrations of daily life.

I enjoy working with men and women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and work/life balance.
Many of us are not taught to prioritize mental health and end up unsure of what to do when faced with difficult feelings. Therapy does not need to be scary or intimidating. My style is warm and deeply collaborative. Together, we will set goals, continually make sure we're moving in the right direction, and maybe even have a laugh or two along the way. I am a lifelong learner. In therapy, I draw upon the latest neurobiology research to help you understand how what's going on in your brain and nervous system can affect your mood and behavior.

We have all experienced various levels of loss, harm or violation in our lives and this will have an effect on us. Are you experiencing disordered eating, unwanted sexual behavior, depression, anxiety, anger or turning to substances for relief? Often people feel a pain inside they are unable to understand or articulate. Perhaps you're frustrated and beginning to feel hopeless or helpless to change. Transformation and change is possible but it is a process, not an event. Research shows that finding the right "fit" in a therapist is one of the most important factors in having a transformative experience in therapy.

I provide a safe and supportive environment for individual adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management, low self-esteem, infertility and challenging life transitions (newly separated, divorced, career change, new parents, launching children).
Looking for relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety or low self esteem? Perhaps you are struggling in your current relationship to feel heard, to increase intimacy or to quit arguing? Through our work together I will help you find positive alternatives to negative thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors that are keeping you from fully understanding and accepting yourself and connecting with others.

Clients see me as non-judgmental, empowering, and active in their quest for healing.
