I also offer supervision services to new clinicians, which I find an important and meaningful part of my work as a therapist.
You deserve to be loud, messy, sensitive and angry- and loved exactly for who you are. You’ve gotten used to living with your anxiety, but it’s a struggle. Things are hectic and your mind just never stops. If you’re waiting for the world to slow down, you may be waiting for a while. I know what it’s like to try to control your world through endless schedules and to-do lists, to power through, to live on auto-pilot. To ignore long-held family stories that influence how you show up in the world, to criticize yourself so harshly. Together in therapy, we can begin by helping you slow down enough and get curious about what's next.

Additionally, I have over 20 yrs of experience in providing psychotherapy, crisis counseling, and supervision & consultation to colleagues.
Finding the right therapist is essential in one's journey toward overcoming obstacles.

I utilize a direct, honest, and genuine communication style in our relationship. My approach combines psychotherapy and the use of experiential therapy as a means of building communication, trust, and decision-making through individual and family treatment. My treatment also involves the partnership of animal assisted therapy with my Labrador Retriever.

When experiencing heightened emotions, it can be challenging to complete daily tasks, find joy in relationships or just feel like yourself. Often when one person in a family is struggling the entire family is impacted. I work with individuals and families struggling with connection, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship and family concerns. I specialize in working with families, parents and individual adults to build strong relationships and help families tackle the tasks and goals asked of them every day.

I treat clients aged 18 (high school graduated) and up. I work best with clients who are ready to invest in meaningful change through a collaborative and thoughtful process. We all face challenges, and need support along the way. My process involves identification of intentions and values that support small gains in the moment that result in the achievement of larger goals over time. I start with a detailed assessment. Together we will create a treatment plan that is designed to help the client observe and experience the changes both large and small.

People I work with are often struggling with issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Over a long career, as a Psychotherapist and Social Work Professor, I have come to appreciate the role therapy can play in the process of taking control of our lives and building healthier relationships. This process is marked by certain key steps which include: identifying client strengths, finding alternate coping mechanisms, and bolstering resilience. Central to all of these is fostering Self Awareness: transformation of automatic behavior into conscious, deliberate choices.

Most of my work is assessment and therapy. I love working with children and their families where the family dynamics may be creating some stress within the family system. I enjoy the process of getting children and families engaged in therapy and working together to identify the values of the children and their families. Clients who are looking to strengthen their family bonds and develop their family unit are some of my favorite things to work on. Much of my interest and experience has been around bullying and trauma, and I greatly enjoy being a part of the growth my clients make while addressing these issues.

Life is a journey that comes at us in waves or phases. These waves can knock us off our feet and, as a result, often feel insurmountable. I admire the bravery you show by coming to treatment and am honored to be part of your journey. By doing this, we will alleviate current symptoms and make connections between past and present. This will leave you with your eyes wide open to impending waves; thus, lessening their impact.

I strongly believe that relationships are the key to positive outcomes in psychotherapy. Whether using cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, or play therapy, building a positive, trusting relationship with clients comes first. That relationship allows me to understand, align with, and guide my clients through achieving their therapeutic goals.

Life can be hard, but everything is easier with the right support. Maybe you’re dissatisfied with a relationship. Maybe you’re unhappy at work. Maybe you’re uncomfortable in your own skin. Having someone to talk to can make all the difference. People are extremely resilient, and I believe we all have the capacity for growth and positive change at any point in our lives. By tapping into your unique strengths, we can work together and create your best life—one that’s filled with peace, meaning and happiness.

"Let go of who you think you are supposed to be and embrace who you are." -Brene Brown It is often our own misconceptions who we are "supposed to be" and unrealistic expectations of ourselves that get in the way of our own personal growth. We tend to overlook our strengths and struggles while giving so much weight to these perceived failures. We think of happiness as a destination to get to, unpack our bags, and live there "happily ever after." I will work with you to untwist these unrealistic, unhelpful ways to view our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Our behaviors have a purpose if we look close enough without judgement.

Healing begins with both a collaborative and healing approach. Through joint exploration, I assist my clients in helping them focus and create a more rich, full, and meaningful life, while effectively trying to help manage the stress and pain that life inevitably brings. Providing a safe and comfortable environment that is centered on a trusting client/therapist relationship is essential for my client's personal growth and improved quality of life. I support and encourage my clients to reach their goals by helping them learn to make healthy connections with their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
