Whether an individual, couple or family are struggling with issues that appear to be a bump in the road of life, stressors that appear to make them feel stuck with no possibilities or are dealing with catastrophic events that have occurred, I work to meet the client where they are at, with the goal to work with them to come up other possible solutions that allow them to get unstuck and make the change that they are hoping to make.

Are you struggling to cope with the effects of trauma or other stressful life events? Are feelings of anxiety and depression preventing you from living a full and meaningful life? People often search for strategies to find relief from their symptoms, but discover that these techniques are of limited use or create their own problems. I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy for adults with these conditions - that is, therapy that has been extensively studied through years of psychological research.

Everyone experiences loneliness, frustration, anger and discouragement at times - these are normal human emotions. However, when you feel these negative emotions more than occasionally you can spiral downward and your life can feel like it’s “out of control”. You may have been able to work through difficult situations in the past but, everyone needs help at some point. You are already taking the first step by considering therapy which takes some courage in itself. Arranging a free, confidential phone call to discuss your issue is the next step.

Sometimes life can be difficult and getting help from a professional can be beneficial. I approach therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping clients find their own way to the changes they desire. Within the context of each person's life, I seek to help clients integrate various aspects of mind and body to heal and enrich their lives. I create an environment where you will feel emotionally safe to talk freely about all aspects of your life.

I believe that anyone who wants to make a change in their life can do it. My style is laid back, with an emphasis on listening and getting to know the client on their own terms, and assisting them with self expression when needed. My orientation is self psychological and relational. For some issues, I find that a more structured, directed approach is helpful. I have recently incorporated DBT skills groups into my practice.

By listening to people and paying attention to what develops, I collaboratively assist them to understand feelings, thoughts, body experiences, and behaviors. This may remove barriers to living life to the full. We often create these barriers early in life and then continue them through habitual thought, feeling-management, and relationship patterns. Healing occurs in a safe, new kind of relationship. Within this relationship, people may recognize things they have known and not known. Those who openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences (including a hesitation to share certain things) are often able to make progress.

I continue to derive immense satisfaction from becoming a psychologist and exploring many paths and points of view about the nature of "reality", personally in my own work on myself and with others in psychotherapy (from physical/behavioral/external levels to non-physical/subjective/internal levels). People who have participated in psychotherapy with me often describe deriving value from increased awareness, insight and understanding about their past and present circumstances, both internal and external. These results have led to resolving external behavioral issues and increasing their level of internal satisfaction about their life experiences.

I find it a privilege to journey with clients as they find a path toward a more fulfilling life. As a clinical psychologist, I use my background to treat you as a whole person, not a disorder. You may come to me with a clear idea of what your issues are or instead with a vague sense that life "doesn't feel right." Life problems may be contributing to sadness, self-doubt, or self-defeating behaviors. Together, we will agree on goals and ways to achieve them. By creating a safe space and trusting relationship, growth and healing are possible.

Limited weekday daytime availability. Please email me to inquire. Sometimes, one's natural tendency toward growth and self-healing can become overwhelmed. In these cases, one's resilience can falter, and it can be difficult to resolve emotional or psychological pain by yourself, or to figure out how to move in the direction you want to go. Collaborating with a trusted counselor eases the process of developing new perspectives and improving interpersonal relationships. My goal is to work with you to alleviate distress, identify strengths, improve well-being, and facilitate personal growth, agency, and empowerment.
