I provide therapy for individuals and couples navigating a variety of issues. I particularly enjoy working with adults dealing with anxiety related to perfectionism, over-functioning tendencies, burnout, or codependency or boundary issues. I also work with couples and individuals facing relationship challenges. A good therapeutic fit for my approach is someone interested in doing deep introspective work, exploring the roots underneath presenting problems and including the body in the process.

When you feel that something in your life needs to change, getting started can be overwhelming. My desire is to help identify strengths and explore solutions in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. It is important to me that you feel free to share your feelings. I enjoy helping adults, couples, and teens cope with the normal yet at times painful transitions in life such as marriage, parenting, blending families, adolescence, divorce,empty nest, relational issues, and self-esteem struggles that plague people with histories of abuse (physical, sexual, or emotional).

I believe that each person is deserving of fulfillment in every relationship. My ideal client is wanting to be more aware of relational patterns so that they can recreate the moments they desire most. My goal is to help people feel heard and accepted within their relationships. I do this through creating an environment where differences are appreciated and authentic choices can be identified to maintain connection.

Waitlist for new clients
I deeply value creating a space where the present moment is used to become more aware, conscious and compassionate about one’s own internal experience and believe from that space change and healing occurs. I follow a psychodynamic approach and tend to look at spaces and dynamics with an emphasis on attachment and attachment styles. However, I also understand the value of integrating a structured approach that provides concrete tools to facilitate change; I am a deep believer that that through well-targeted and intentional activity, people can begin to engage in their life differently.

I offer a calming and gentle approach to clients that enhances their comfort levels and allows for open discussion of problem areas. Together, we investigate the factors that cause and contribute to their issues. Together, we investigate coping skills and factors that will diminish symptoms and work toward resolution of these life issues. In the words of one client: "If what I have to say doesn't upset you, then maybe it isn't as bad as I feared." Mood disorders, autism spectrum disorders, relationship conflicts as well as loss and grief issues are among my treatment specialties.

One of my ideal clients would be identified as a Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron, PhD. It can be difficult to know how best to guard your energy while still being available for the people and activities you love. Another client might share they would like to reach their fullest potential and would appreciate a trainer of sorts to do so. Someone else's needs might center around increased ability to maintain emotional stability, even when disagreeing with a loved one.
