I help my clients to discover, appreciate and expand their own strengths in order to feel better about life, love, work and recreation. As a therapist with over 40 years experience, my style is warm, direct and interactive. My clients and I form a team, working together to understand and resolve your problems. Our focus is on the whole person: your mind/body, your relationships, and your environment. I guide you with a combination of positive support and gentle challenges.

Welcome. Congratulations on taking this step to make change in your life. It takes a tremendous amount of bravery and belief that things can change just to land here. As a patient, your goals and treatment will be based on what you know best about yourself and what you want in your life. My role is to offer supportive guidance to get you to that place, without judgement or force. We will also develop an understanding of how your learned behaviors and emotional reactions to issues that may be causing discomfort for you are at the crux of your automatic thoughts and behaviors.

I specialize in guiding clients through various challenges, whether they're navigating relationships, facing educational hurdles, or seeking professional growth. Together, we delve into your experiences, examining patterns of behavior, your family dynamics, the impact of your environment, and your present interactions. I honor and respect every facet of your identity; embracing your entire self is fundamental to your journey. In my practice, I use a person-centered approach and I empower you to take an active role in recognizing and leveraging your unique strengths as powerful tools to realize your dreams.

Are you grappling with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, PTSD, C-PTSD, addictions, or borderline personality disorder? My aim is to assist clients in reconnecting with their authentic selves and regaining a sense of empowerment over their lives. Together, we will navigate past wounds, tackle present challenges, & cultivate the resilience necessary to embrace a more fulfilling future. I seek to connect with individuals open to a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic relationship where they can work together to create a safe space for exploring the depths of emotions, thoughts, & experiences without judgment.

My ideal client would be a mom or wife, an individual who does not have any coping skills and blames themselves for things that are out of their control, such as anxiety, depression, unstable mood, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, & no insight in their situation. Their needs would be support, empathy, understanding, and active listening. They have goals to work on themselves, improve communication skills, increase coping skills, and alleviate anxiety and depressive symptoms. The client would want to change and work on themselves to become better and stronger individuals for themselves & their families.

What if I told you that you can stop having anxiety, intrusive thoughts or that pit in your stomach feeling? You might think, ‘Doesn’t everyone feel like this? This is just life, right?’ The answer is no! You don’t have to carry this yuck around with you anymore. Change is possible with EMDR therapy. We all have life experiences that impact us in minor and major ways that leave a lasting impression on us. Imagine a life where you have lessened anxiety or depression symptoms. You can have less inner conflict, better decision making, and enhanced self-control.

My ideal client may need help with confidence, relationships, or learning who they are. They aim to reduce symptoms of clinical diagnoses and work with me to see progress in their lives. This client would want to learn more about themselves and improve their relationships with others and with themselves. They would be a motivated and insightful client who attends sessions regularly and comes prepared with topics to discuss. I would help this client by listening to them and their thoughts, offering support, and building a rapport with them.

I specialize in treating college-age young adults who are either in college or reevaluating whether or not college is for them. Common issues my clients present with include depression, anxiety, loneliness, ADHD, self-esteem, & life-transition issues. They often come to me seeking help on improving their mood; navigating the ups and downs of leaving home or trying to; negotiating the balance between too little & too much social life; managing the grind of challenging academics or stopgap jobs; developing capacities for self-reflection & more fulfilling relationships; & overall just getting a better sense of who they are.

Is your life a source of difficulty, are you wondering if you can manage alone? Are you struggling to make sense of your relationships in the face of ever changing responsibilities? These are some of the reasons people come to me to seek help and support. I offer therapy that addresses thoughts and feelings, coping strategies, mindfulness, and past patterns. I adjust my approach to each person individually to provide the best support possible. My goal is to create the opportunity for healing and growth for you. I work with men and women, individually and in couples therapy.

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

I am dedicated to utilizing my extensive experience and education to assist individuals and families in promoting growth and self-understanding in their mental health. My goal is to help manage day-to-day life challenges and navigate life transitions. These transitions—whether for older adults facing significant life changes, young adults moving from college into the workforce, or adolescents transitioning from high school to college—can be daunting and anxiety-inducing. They often bring feelings of being stuck, fears of the unknown, and issues related to separation from family and friends.
