I have over 15 years of experience as a social worker, with experience in the areas of research, child welfare, juvenile justice, domestic and international school systems, and private practice therapy and assessment.

Welcome. I believe that your experience of the therapeutic relationship should be comfortable and feel secure. I utilize an attachment based approach and believe that once feelings of safety are established in therapy that real changes in thoughts, feelings and relationships are possible. I have a warm and interested style of interacting with others and it is always important to me that you feel heard and valued in our time together. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to know more or have any questions.

My first priority as your therapist is to provide an environment in which you can speak freely about your concerns while I listen and reflect back to you in a non-judgemental and compassionate way. You may need new coping skills, new perspectives or a way to heal beyond old difficulties that remain unresolved. I will help you clarify what your intentions are and help you to be more compassionate with yourself during the process. One of the goals is to be more content and more at peace with yourself and in your relationships with others.

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life." We can work together to help you to reach your goals and live life more fulfilled.

I take an active approach to help my clients find solutions and reach their goals. Together we can set goals and track progress to make sure you are satisfied.

Co-Founder of Maxant & Curtis Mental Health. Finding a therapist is about the "match" as much as about the skill and experience of the clinician. I find that clients who feel the "match" with my work are looking for a practical dialogue about active problem solving, as well as feelings of trust and connection. The journey to find a matching therapist can be frustrating, and I work with clients to identify that early in the process. In therapy, some of our most difficult thoughts and feelings need a safe and supportive place to be heard, and ensuring that our work will be safe and respectful to your needs is goal number one.

Update November 2020: If you viewed this profile recently, please note that I've moved! In addition, currently most meetings are remote and openings are rare. I currently work with teens, young adults, and adults. Mood disorders, parent guidance, veterans, family relationships, trauma and PTSD are areas of clinical interest. Those who seek to be responsible for their own happiness, whether through acceptance or through efforts to change and grow, are the people I hope to meet.

With over 20 years of experience in the field of helping others, I have learned that making a genuine connection with people is the best way in which to begin the work of therapy. One of the most important skills I have to offer is to carefully and compassionately listen to what you have to say. We then go from there; when you are ready, we begin to look at how to change.

With over 20 years experience,I offer a supportive,highly interactive approach to helping people understand and overcome the obstacles that interfere with their living happier, fuller, more satisfying lives. I see myself as a creative collaborator and believe that the client/therapist connection is key to a successful therapy outcome.

Maturity, empathy and well developed listening skills are assets which I offer. I've been especially interested in helping women during pregnancy, and the postpartum period and resolving grief and loss from miscarriages. In addition, addressing issues of depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress in men or women is especially gratifying to me. I often begin by teaching techniques for stress reduction, or in the case of lethargic depression, ways to energize the body, which help people function better quickly. Most important to me is helping people find hidden strengths and restore inner balance.

I work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, parenting concerns, grief, and coping with life's challenges. Gaining an understanding of our thoughts, emotions and inner voices is the first step to improving how we feel. Utilizing a systemic counseling approach, I work collaboratively with my clients with a focus on goals, highlighting strenghts, and fortifying resilience.

I have a particular interest in working with women during their pregnancy and postpartum journeys and have advanced training in the field of perinatal mental health. I also enjoy working with adults of all ages who are going through challenging life transitions, dealing with feelings of depression or anxiety or feeling overwhelmed by life stressors. I believe seeking counseling can be a first step towards healing and enhancing your overall well-being.
