Pain and hardship are a universal and inescapable part of life. However, confronting our challenges and fears can provide the opportunity for self-discovery, personal growth, and transformation. I deeply respect the strength and courage required to seek counseling and believe that developing a trusting, authentic relationship with my clients creates the foundation of therapy. I endeavor to create a safe, non-judgmental space in which I help clients harness strengths, build new skills, and create a path for personal growth and insight.

It can be difficult to cope with intense emotions and to decide on what steps to take next when life brings its inevitable challenges and opportunities. I believe that clarifying who and what are most important in our lives can help us evaluate options and guide action, even when unpleasant emotions show up. I work with clients' unique strengths to develop healthier strategies to manage difficult thoughts, feelings, situations, and memories. My practice is grounded in compassionately delivering evidence-based therapy approaches including ACT, CBT, and EMDR.

I honor the opportunity and privilege it is to accompany clients, witness their stories, and support them on their healing and recovery journey. I strive to provide compassionate, grounded, connected, and caring therapy services. I enjoy working with clients who are looking to address their opportunities for growth, and who are eager to connect more with themselves and with others.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen, understood, and provided room to heal and grow. Many of us carry many competing thoughts and questions, from doubts and fears, to hopes and dreams, or questions we may not feel comfortable addressing with others or even on our own. My hope is that with a genuine, unassuming, and down-to-earth approach to therapy we can foster a trusting, open, and reflective environment and explore whatever is present for you, moving towards growth and healing together.

As a clinical social worker, I see myself as a coach, working to reduce anxiety by identifying the patterns that have created problems and stress in your life and formulating a plan for change. I believe change is possible at any age or stage of life. As a certified Parenting Effectiveness Instructor, I can support parents in improving communication with their children, reducing power struggles and managing their own anxiety to become more confident and effective.

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.

It can be difficult to ask for support, especially when you aren't sure how it all works. I will work with you to create a treatment plan that makes sense to you and meets your unique goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who are struggling with a wide range of issues. I work towards providing an atmosphere of comfort and trust where individuals feel safe exploring their thoughts and feelings and understanding their difficulties. I believe there is no "one size fits all" form of therapy and I utilize various interventions to fit my clients needs and circumstances. I work collaboratively with my clients utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities. I am described as warm, engaging, caring, accepting and insightful.

The urge to not just exist, but to thrive is universally one of the toughest challenges that one can learn to navigate. It can be even harder when you may not feel equipped with the tools to prepare yourself for this massive endeavor. You may feel the need to mask, or hide your truest self in order to ‘get by’ and make things easier on yourself and others around you. I try to tell clients that they deserve to allow themselves to be the truest version of yourself, no matter what that may look like or what society may think. I am here to help guide you through the veil of uncertainty so that I can help you be your most authentic self.

I am a Clinical Health Psychologist and I specialize in providing comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, teens, and adults. I have extensive training and strong experience in providing diagnostic clarification for Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Attention Deficits, Thought Disorders, Personality Disorders, Bariatric Pre-Surgical Evaluations, Neuropsychological Screenings, First Responders/Police and Pre-Employment screenings, and more.

The most important ingredient in a successful therapy experience is the therapy relationship itself. The clients who benefit the most are those who feel understood, respected and cared about, and so are better able to be more genuine and more fully engaged in the process. A basic tenet of my approach is that our fears and hurts inhibit the natural tendency within us all to grow and move toward healthier ways of functioning. Individuals who feel safe enough in therapy to face their fears can begin to "digest" their unfinished business and take back control of their lives.

Whether through individuals, couples, or family counseling, I join with my clients on the path to wellness. In meeting my clients where they are, I work to provide a safe and therapeutic environment in which to assist in meeting their goals. I strive to empower my clients through strength-based counseling approaches to foster independence, responsibility, and self-regulation.

Women, are you tired of feeling like all you do is give in relationships and you don't get anything in return? Men, are you tired of being labeled controlling and told 'you just don't get it'? For over forty years I have been helping individuals and couples who are struggling with these issues find a way to make their relationships and overall lives more satisfying.

I am passionate about helping individuals work towards personal growth and increased satisfaction with life. I believe in a collaborative approach, that meets clients where they are at, and using compassion, respect, and humor to develop a therapeutic relationship. Using a nonjudgmental approach to help individuals more clearly see the habits of the mind that create unnecessary suffering and offer strategies to reduce their negative effect. Utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness I help client's learn skills to increase understanding of thinking and behavior patterns, and learn coping strategies for emotion regulation, stress management, communication, problem solving, and relaxation.

Life seems to keep on getting more stressful. We're all busy juggling the multiple demands placed on us and often feel that we're burning out.

Let me work with you to straighten out your priorities and help you enjoy life again.
