I am currently accepting new clients. Therapy can be hard to start but it’s so rewarding. Anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and ADHD are my specialities. These things can cause all kinds of discomfort in everyday life - feeling nervous, overwhelmed, unsure of yourself, and disconnected. But this doesn’t have to be a way of life. Instead, you can feel comfortable in your own skin, confident in what you have to offer and at peace with who you are and what you’ve been through. You can make sense of your life and feel good about yourself.

My practice centers on EMDR and Lifespan Integration. I’m also pretty practical and like to focus on finding big and small things people can do to create change in their daily lives. And I like books, and a little humor never hurts.

I firmly believe clients and therapists should feel they're a good fit before working together so I conduct a 15 minute phone consultation with new clients prior to scheduling appointments. These phone appointments can be scheduled by emailing me via my website, or the form on Psychology Today.
