I understand how difficult seeking help can be for many teens. With over 25 years of experience, I'm able to engage the most challenging young people, so they can get the help they need. I specialize in working with teens who are struggling across multiple domains in their lives (school, peers and family). My approach is both trauma-informed and strength based. I have extensive training in ARC (Attachment Regulation and Competency) interventions, DBT, and CBT. My experience running mental health programs affords me a unique understanding of educational, justice and mental health systems.

Maybe you are experiencing loss, loneliness, or anxiety, or you don't feel like 'yourself' anymore. I believe that empowerment and healing can come through self-connection, use of more adaptive tools and learning how to approach this sometimes overwhelming world in a way that feels more manageable. I show up for you authentically and drawing from my over twenty years of working with individuals of all ages. During our time together, I hope to provide a space for you to revive your joy, feel whole versus disjointed, and seek to create a balance between challenge and kindness for yourself.

People seek out therapy for a variety of reasons. For some, it’s to find ways to manage the worry of a cancer diagnosis or other acute/chronic illness. For others, it’s to help cope with the grief of losing someone they love. Some are looking for support around depression and anxiety. Others hope to explore strategies to manage the daily stress they experience - at home and/or at work. At times, we all need some extra support. Together, we will help you discover more about yourself and your strengths, better understand your relationships and build tools and strategies to help you navigate the challenges in your life.

I focus on parents and those trying to become parents. Parenting is demanding and nonstop. Once you think you have it figured out, there is always something new from infants to adult children. It also brings on extra strain in areas such as finances, relationships, careers, and self care. In addition, sometimes family planning does not go as expected. I help parents deal with infertility, miscarriage, loss, etc. Mothers also can have difficult pregnancies, birth trauma, and postpartum depression and anxiety. I'm here to listen, help you identify ways to cope, and help you work through realistic solutions.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. It can be messy, painful, overwhelming, difficult, and downright exhausting. But I believe that change is always possible. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, motivation, adapting to change, or just the stress of day to day living then therapy can help. Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, therefore it is important to find a therapist that meets your specific needs. I provide a welcoming and safe environment to help clients define goals, identify strengths, and make positive changes.

Sometimes life throws us something that turns our whole world upside down. Other times life is “fine,” but we just don’t feel fine. We may be overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, depression, or just feeling stuck. If you are wondering whether now is the right time for therapy, the answer is probably “yes.” You start to feel different when you do things differently. Whether you are a teen, young adult, or adult, I can offer you a non-judgmental, creative space with fresh ideas and hope for the future.

Fall 2024 - Accepting New Clients! Whether managing short-term or long-term stress, I value making a space for clients to take a moment to stop, step back from what they're doing and take a look from the outside. In a comfortable space with a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients can best understand themselves and disentangle challenges of daily life. I believe in helping clients identify what defines them as an individual, and how to best fulfill the things in life that are important to them. I also value awareness of identities relating to culture, ethnicity, gender and sex, and how they affect clients' values and goals.
