It’s easy to get stuck. Often we don’t have the support we need to make our way through. My experience is in helping people connect with their awareness and insight to move forward in ways that feel authentic and empowering. Grounded in a humanistic, person-centered, and psychodynamic orientation, I support clients as they’re struggling with self-esteem, navigating life transitions, working on relationships, and dealing with grief and loss. I work with individuals experiencing the pressures of college life, the pain of mid-life changes, and the pursuit of growthful aging, helping them find meaning, purpose, and resilience.

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples and occasionally the entire family. Whether I am currently working with an individual or couple, at whatever stage of life or relationship they may be in, I am always keenly interested in learning about their relationships. Connection to others is the underlying foundation for psychological and emotional health. Psychological health and strong connections enable people to not simply enjoy their own lives, but use their talents to meet the world's needs. This is my true calling, to help individuals, couples and families to lead their very best lives.

Welcome. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My view of therapy is that you are your own best expert. As Carl Rogers said, “As no one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves”. My role is to help empower you to overcome the obstacles that have been impeding you from making the changes necessary to meet your goals and live your best life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who enjoys working with children, teens, young adults, and their families. My experiences include having worked in community-based, private practice, and hospital (both inpatient/outpatient) settings. In therapy I mainly draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques. I believe that it is essential to take into consideration the unique qualities/needs of each client and family, and provide a supportive therapeutic environment to facilitate the discussion of their concerns.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I understand that in the face of adversity a person’s view of self and view of the world can shift. Oftentimes that shift can lead a person to feel displaced and uncertain of how to cope. Through a supportive therapeutic partnership, I aim to empower my clients to utilize internal strengths in order to regain a sense of self and discover a source of resilience. I use a relational and warm therapeutic approach that is informed by cognitive behavioral principles.

I am effective in helping adults young and old who struggle with anxiety, depression and low self-worth, and self-defeating patterns in their lives. Sometimes we feel too overwhelmed, ashamed, or discouraged to deal with these parts of ourselves, and need the help of an attuned listener to understand and work through our problems. The process of talking about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences within a trusting therapeutic relationship helps relieve emotional distress and increases your capacity to manage difficult feelings.

Deciding to begin therapy is a brave step towards healing. As a therapist I strive to create a non-judgmental and caring space where you can explore yourself, your experiences, and your relationships. I meet you where you are in your journey and focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe people heal in relationship with others. No theory or intervention will be successful if you do not feel unconditionally accepted and supported by your therapist.

I offer comfort, counsel and clarity to individuals and families facing medical illness, grief, loss and bereavement, and/or life transitions. Companioning folks on these journeys allows me to help them lessen their sense of isolation, to help identify and utilize their strengths, and to manage difficult emotions. Frequently clients are overwhelmed and need help sorting through stressful feelings and situations. Once that is accomplished, much progress is made. In life transitions, identifying and touching the emotions and then re-establishing a life-plan are often the primary goals, crafted to the client's unique needs.
