I pride myself on meeting my clients where they are to walk alongside them as they heal & create their best life. We all at times go through periods when processing, whether towards change or healing, becomes necessary. I hope to make that process a bit more comfortable, so that you are not alone, and also to help you move through your journey with integrity and intention. Many of my clients report feeling it to be easier to approach difficult topics due to us having a friendly relationship as a foundation. I believe that foundation is in part created due to our efforts in seeing and validating their own internal strengths.

I am warm, compassionately direct, down-to-earth, and witty. I have been told I have a calming and grounding presence. I bring more than 20 years experience as a therapist working with individuals and couples in a wide variety of clinical settings. I specialize in couples counseling, addictions and substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and personality disorders. Having a safe, non-judgmental person to confide in can be very healing. Most of us have few experiences of being unconditionally accepted, empowered, or encouraged to live our authentic self with courage.

Are you successful at work, but unhappy in life? You come home exhausted only to get into another fight with your partner or maybe your child. They say you don't listen. Meanwhile, your mind races with worries about the future and your family. Work feels empty and lifeless. What is going on?? You know there's more to life than work and accomplishments, but you don't really know where to find that extra juice you're looking for. Is talking to someone the answer? People seem to think so – they've been saying this all along. Maybe it's time to give this inner work a try. But how?

Our world is changing at such a rapid pace. You may feel it's difficult to cope with all these shifts in your life, and to keep up with daily routines. We have all been through a huge upheaval the past several years. Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental place to process some of these challenges? Or maybe you need some tools and resources to help you (or a loved one) manage anxiety, stress or trauma. Maybe your child/tween/teen/20 yr old has become surprisingly disagreeable, spending less time with family, pushing you away. You may notice changes in appearance, or name. Whether sudden or gradual, you may not know how to cope.

I also teach graduate students what they need to know to make the right diagnosis and apply the best most optimal treatment for it.

This a group practice that employs clinicans of various ethnicities and backgrounds. People come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of everyday life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems with school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable. We believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, and that therapy is a process of exploring and getting to know oneself.
