My warmth, expertise and professionalism create an atmosphere in which my clients feel they have a comfortable safe place The issues that bring my clients to therapy include Anxiety and Panic Disorders, Depression, Bipolar, Life Transition Issues, Eating Disorders, Grief, Family/Couples Issues and Geriatric Challenges.

My clinical work is based upon a psychodynamic foundation to which I have integrated Cognitive and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness and Relaxation Training, Family Systems Models and Coaching.

I also work with individuals and couples who are going through challenging life transitions such as relationship and family conflicts, work-stressors, and those seeking personal growth.
With a direct, authentic, and light-hearted approach, I form genuine connections with my clients, and work collaboratively to establish and achieve their goals. Through developing increased self-awareness and enhancing coping skills, my clients are better able to manage their symptoms. This process ultimately leads to improved daily functioning and overall life satisfaction.

While my clinical foundation is rooted in psychodynamic and CBT theories, Internalized Family Systems (IFS or "Parts therapy") is now my primary approach.
I am an IFS Level 1 & Level 2 trained therapist. IFS- Internalized Family Systems Therapy is a leading evidence based model that allows one to heal internally and live a more fulfilling joyous life. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed or dissatisfied at home, school, work, or in an important relationship. You may be feeling like your life is not going how you had hoped or expected. If you're supporting a kid or partner who is struggling, you probably feel lonely, frustrated and discouraged. These are some of the difficulties that bring people to my office.
