I use a variety of techniques to match the needs of each client throughout each session. I primarily use DBT, ACT, and IFS therapeutic modalities. These techniques emphasize mindfulness, personal strengths, resilience, and choice. Additionally, I use compassion and explore my clients’ values to gently challenge them to find more effective ways of getting their needs met. At times I use improv, humor, and a conversational and dynamic therapeutic style to create a judgment-free, supportive, and safe environment; disarming the self-critic; and allowing my clients to express themselves freely.

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.

If you are looking to understand your struggles in relationships or in dealing with anxiety and depression, I provide a means of healing from urgent pain and distress associated with the daily struggles of life and relationships. As human beings we are in need of consistent support and therapy can provide a safe, trusting environment for sharing our concerns and fears and facilitate growth in relationships and other areas of our lives. It allows us to feel empowered and more independent. Psychotherapy can enrich our understanding of ourselves and can enhance the quality of our lives.

If you've hit a crossroad in your life; if you're in a place you don’t want to be and want to make changes; if you are having difficulty with the relationships in your life; feeling lost, confused; working through anxiety or depression - I am here to partner with you to navigate these challenges and get to a place where you feel confident, empowered, & content in your life. Sessions are likely to be conversational, flexible, supportive and real (with a dose of humor of course!) I am a provider that values authenticity - who I am in the session is who I am outside of the session - my hope is you will feel safe to do the same!

Therapy can be a revelatory process and can bring us back to who we are at our core. I'm a therapist specializing in womanhood– managing work and burnout; adjustment to motherhood; mid-life challenges including overwhelm and overdoing; and the mature woman navigating mind-body and relationship changes. I have expertise in healing from toxic families and relationships. I'm adept at working with you towards the best version of you, leaving behind what's no longer working and helping you build strategies for growth. Change is never easy, but it's doable with grace, humor, and the use of real tools that we'll develop together.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or ADHD that affects your ability to function in your relationships, your work, and all the things you need to do to get through the daily grind? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed, wondering if there's even a light at the end of the tunnel? Do you ever wonder if life really can get better? Many people are struggling with anxiety and depression. Others are trying to overcome childhood abuse and trauma, and still others are trying to overcome the shame and frustration of constantly struggling with accomplishing their day-to-day tasks. I believe that there is hope for a better life.
