The stresses of life occasionally take such a toll on us that we need an experienced professional. I have 30 years as a mental health therapist and specialize in trauma, loss, addiction, depression, anxiety and medical trauma. I also work with individuals suffering from the physical issues that often accompany a series of stressful events. I see adults, couples, and adolescents. I find a unique blend of cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness, bibliotherapy and expressive techniques for each client. I also provide clients with community supports and resources to supplement our work together when appropriate.

Are you having difficulty functioning in your relationships? Feeling "anxious" or as if you have to walk on eggshells around those you love out of fear of losing them? Everyday experiences of my clients include pushing aside their needs for others' needs, noticing their "toxic" relationships though being unable to set boundaries, feeling burnt out from overworking or people-pleasing behaviors but being unable to help themselves change. Usually, when clients come to me, it isn't "their first rodeo" when it comes to therapy, and they are tired of re-hashing their past to a therapist who sits and nods their heads.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety and depression? Often, but not always, these conditions are related to major life transitions or other challenging stressors. In a non-judgemental and compassionate manner, I help people identify their role in these struggles and offer guidance towards their resolution. During our sessions, I will support you in confronting these issues using techniques that enhance your ability to engage in reality based/rational thinking, reasonable decision making and other behaviors that lead to psychological wellness and stability.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Making the decision to find a therapist is the first of many steps that you will make in the journey of renewal and restoration. Research has proven that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of the therapeutic process. My aim is to develop a caring, trusting, non-judgmental and authentic therapeutic relationship with all of my clients. This relationship along with evidenced based treatment interventions provide a strong foundation for success. I subscribe to the belief that everything you need to make positive long lasting change is already inside of you.

Sometimes in life you find yourself feeling lost, disoriented and wondering how you got to this challenging place. You may find it difficult to even catch your breath. These feelings may lead to anxiety, depression, and other transition and relationship difficulties. Therapy, in my view, is a refuge from these places - a place to unpack all of your thoughts, be heard, feel understood and learn to breathe again.
