For me, there is no ideal client. To some extent, everyone is on a spectrum of depression and anxiety, and I seek to work with clients who need assistance becoming oriented toward improvement. I have personal and professional experience and understand how difficult it is to find someone patient enough to grow alongside a client through the therapeutic process. I want to work alongside you to help you live a happy, meaningful life with these conditions.

I'll admit it - I have a personal agenda in each of my sessions! I want preteens and teens to learn how to be assertive, make better decisions and form healthy boundaries so that they can improve their self-esteem and surround themselves with better friends. I want clients to finally ditch that job or relationship that isn't a good fit. I'm the right therapist if you or your preteen/teen want to improve self-worth & overcome anxiety or depressive symptoms. If you're looking for a cheerleader in your corner to help you get rid of habits or thinking patterns that lead you to feel stuck and helpless - I'm the therapist for you.

Whether you’re navigating a specific transition, seeking deeper understanding of core issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed, your concerns are not just significant—they demand dedicated time and attention. As your therapist, it’s my role to provide this, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

Life today is difficult with all the demands placed on us by our family, work and our own need to achieve. Add to this the emotional stress of family conflict, divorce, defiant children, an illness or death in the family, and you begin to understand why more and more people are seeking the help of mental health professionals.

I emphasize a collaborative approach to therapy--I bring 30 years of clinical experience, as well as enthusiasm, hope, and a dose of humor, and ask only that you bring an openness to change. Together, we identify specific life goals and generate plans to achieve them. Ultimately, you will come to understand that you make perfect sense; you may just not have been able to use this self-awareness to make the most productive decisions. My strong suit is quickly identifying underlying problems and patterns, as well as your personal strengths and resources.

What keeps me growing as a professional and drives me to do what I do, are the individuals and families that I have the privilege to work with everyday. There are times in all of our lives when we need to reach out for support and encouragement and to know that we are not alone. I have extensive experience in the field of trauma, in particular with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, child abuse, and child neglect. When working with this population, I have treated issues ranging from but not limited to PTSD, depression, anxiety, attachment, and anger.

Maybe you've tried again and again to improve things, but nothing seems to help. Maybe you don't have any place where you can think out loud about what your options really are. If your efforts to improve your life at school, at work, at home or in your relationships have been unsuccessful, you may be feeling stuck. Getting into therapy can be a huge first step toward getting unstuck. But this step requires that you make a decision to try something new. So if you'd like to give it a try, please give me a call.
