--ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS -- How many times per day do you get asked, “How are you?” How often do you answer honestly? I hope to help you actually answer that question, in all of its complexity. In order to achieve this, I create a confidential environment in which we can work together on self-exploration and inquiry.

I am currently accepting new clients. When you feel stuck under the weight of anxious thinking, life can feel unmanageable and your goals can fall out of reach. You might struggle with chronic stress and overthinking, frequent panic attacks, low self-confidence, executive functioning challenges, existential worries, burnout, or insecurity. These experiences are only human and therapy can often be a helpful step toward improving your mental health. Through my nearly decade-long experience working with adults, children, and adolescents, I can help you better manage the anxiety that's held you back from the life you want to live.

** 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.

I am a clinical social worker with 30+ years of social work experience.My work with Individuals and families focus on building a strong foundation that can help weather life's stressors. I work with primarily adults 18 and older with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Parenting, Life Transitions, Grief and Bereavement, Aging and Self Defeating Behavior. When confronting a major loss it is a shock to the body and mind. Working through the grief and pain helps you gain the motivation and confidence to learn to adjust to the changes. Developing courage and acceptance is a process.

My practice is based in decades of direct psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families; the teaching of counseling, race, class, gender and the wide range of social identity dynamics; consultation; supervision; research; and publication. I look forward to working with clients eager to explore life challenges in the context of a professional relationship that is supportive, compassionately challenging, well-informed by theory, egalitarian, and appreciative of humor and irony as keys to coping. Severe addiction and severe cognitive or psychiatric challenges are beyond the scope of my practice at present. Private pay only; no medical insurance payments.

Everyone is talking about diversity and acceptance, and you aren't feeling it. You wonder if anyone will ever understand the "real" you. I got you!

An ideal client would be an adult, mental health/substance use disorder, with a desire to change. Family involvement is so important so I would hope they would have emphasis on that and willingness to have them involved. Ultimately I love when someone is internally driven to change, but as a therapist we meet the clients where they are. Internally motivated, externally motivated, and sometimes neither. I don't discriminate and am willing to help essentially anyone.

Let's get real. Things are feeling very hard right now. You know you haven't always felt this way, yet remembering what it was like to be fulfilled, upbeat, and generally feeling good is not easily accomplished.

I am ready to work with you and get you out of your funk- be it depression, phobias, divorce, chronic illness, or unhealthy eating or food beliefs. I am also ready to explore the hard questions about life and spirituality if that is helpful too.
