** AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** It can be so overwhelming to look for a therapist. So many options and decisions when you simply want to be helped during a difficult time in your life. You may be feeling stressed, sad, angry or just not yourself. Simply put, therapy is a unique and unusual experience; at times it can feel uncomfortable talking to a person you have just met. I encourage you to email me or call for a phone consultation. There is never any obligation following the phone call. It may be helpful to visit my website.

My treatment approach is integrative and personalized to my clients’ needs, focused on building a foundation of trust. I work with clients to identify underlying roots of problems and elicit existing and new strengths and resources. I prefer a holistic approach to treatment which, while based in a psychodynamic framework, draws from my specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, attachment based, trauma-informed and mindfulness modalities. I work with adults ranging from young adulthood through end of life, using a culturally-sensitive approach.

There is not a singular source to our suffering. Turmoil can originate in, and travel through, our bodies, minds, communities, families, and sociopolitical systems. Often, we respond to inner turmoil in two extreme ways. We may excessively worry, attempt to control, develop repetitive, troubling thoughts, or just obsess about our lives. Or we may do the opposite; avoid, isolate, refuse contact with situations we perceive to be dangerous or distressing, or say 'it is hopeless,' and check out. Therapy can help us gain access to our grief and pain while developing the wisdom that comes with renewed commitment to our lives.

At times, we all experience difficult-to-feel feelings: anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm, grief, anger, shame, alone, not good enough/an imposter, unloved, “stuck" --and others. If you're here, it might be time to give attention and care to what hurts --as you would to treat any physical injury. Therapy helps us get better at having feelings; grow beyond problems; access inner wisdom; improve our inner and outer relationships; make meaning of struggle; and discover who we are.

My role is to assist individuals to attain therapy goals that result in an improved life. Any motivated person is capable of modifying beliefs and behaviors that get in the way of a more satisfying life. If you are depressed, anxious, or have relationship concerns, psychotherapy provides a setting to better understand yourself and offers techniques to facilitate changes. I also treat individuals experiencing losses or transitions to new life stages. Even desirable events such as; graduating college, developing significant relationships, or job and location changes, can be stressful.

But above all, I believe in the power of a caring and honest therapeutic relationship to help you make the changes you desire.
If you need help with depression and anxiety, or are struggling to break or gain control over unhealthy patterns, unhappy relationships, or addiction, psychotherapy can be an effective treatment. I work hard to understand what makes you unique, how your personal history affects you now, and what qualities and strengths you can tap into to feel better. I typically will take an active approach with you, at times challenging negative or distorted thinking and at other times helping you face painful feelings. This is done with respect and genuine curiosity as we work together to help you enjoy your life.
