I’ve been practicing psychotherapy for the past 40 years. One of the great joys of my life is working with individuals who have mood and anxiety disorders. I specialize using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). CBT is a type of treatment that helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. MBCT will help you use the wisdom of your mind and body to deal effectively with the inevitable stresses of life.

Sometime we all feel unhappy, stressed, confused, or "stuck." Talking to an empathic and experienced therapist may be your first step toward developing new insights about positive change. My therapeutic approach is to encourage you to talk about your concerns openly in a confidential and safe environment where you will not be judged. A major benefit of therapy is to provide you with a second point-of-view on your personal material--a perspective other than your own. This process provides you with new ways to think about your choices and behaviors, and frees you to achieve your goals.

The decision to engage in psychotherapy is deeply personal to each of us. Many of us find ourselves repeating interpersonal patterns within relationships and thinking, "why does this keep happening?" Or battling feelings of self doubt and curious how the past shapes our current experiences. Maybe you are a new parent or currently pregnant, overwhelmed with this tremendous life transition or the intensity of your emotions.

Being a human in the world is tough. If you feel stuck, alone, overwhelmed by anxiety or sadness, or are struggling in relationships, you're in the right place. My specialties include the treatment of anxiety, relationship difficulties, perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, parenting, perfectionism, divorce, trauma, & identity development. As a mom myself, I have experienced first-hand the impossible demands placed on parents. I am passionate about providing identity affirming care to members of the LGTBQIA+ community, and I love working with parents of gender-expansive children as they navigate their transition process.

I believe the goal of therapy is to help individuals live their most authentic and fulfilling lives. This includes exploring themselves, their relationships to others, and their place in the world. Within the context of a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, individuals can develop self-awareness and identify patterns they desire to change. Using empathy, direct feedback, and skill building, I believe individuals can heal, grow, and enjoy their lives more fully. I practice using an integrative approach grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories as well as incorporating mindfulness techniques.

Maybe you are reading this because you want something to change in your life. It’s a daring step to reach out to a stranger and trust them. I know therapy can help. It has helped me in my life, and it has helped many of my clients over the years. I offer free consultations with clients before we begin because a good fit is important. Although I have worked in agencies, hospitals and group practices, I think some of my best training has come from navigating a 24 year marriage, raising kids, and launching them into adulthood. I enjoy helping people work through anxiety and depression and get their life back.

I view psychotherapy as an opportunity for personal growth and greater self-understanding. While it is important to address specific issues in the here and now, often the process can also lead to broader gains in self-awareness and life satisfaction. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. I will work with you to address your concerns, overcome obstacles and find greater personal satisfaction.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I have spent the majority of my training working with children/adolescent and young adult populations. I received both my master's and doctoral degrees from Adler University and trained in forensic, neuropsychological, private practice, and therapeutic day school environments. The experiences I have gained across these training experiences have prepared me for culturally-informed and evidence-based treatments.

I spent a decade supporting families and professionals managing high risk pregnancy and reproductive mood complications by staffing all units and clinics affiliated with a women's hospital. I have accompanied thousands of people managing high stakes medical decisions, illness or demise, caregiver fatigue in patients or professionals, infertility, and marital conflict.
