I work with individuals and couples to treat anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and chronic mental health difficulties such as substance abuse and PTSD.
Have you been feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Have you noticed difficulties with your sleep, appetite, or energy level?

These are challenges that we all face and I believe that good therapy can address all these issues and help foster the change and growth that we want to see in our lives.

Whether our work becomes insight oriented, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or interpersonally focused, our relationship and your strengths and goals will guide the process.
As a client at various times in my own life, I appreciate the challenge of engaging with a new therapist. The vulnerability of opening up to a stranger is real and palpable. Your growth in therapy is driven in part by your willingness to trust me, feel calm in the process, and confidence in my approach. My work always begins with this recognition, and has led to over twenty years of creating a safe and comfortable space, while nurturing deeply meaningful relationships. Humbly and respectfully, I have had the privilege to witness amazing client strength, courage, and growth. I always learn from you, as you ideally learn from me.

I specialize in helping with substance use disorder, couples and families in recovery, and trauma/PTSD.
I believe that at the core of all of us is a desire to feel connected. Many things in life can contribute to a feeling of disconnection, including substance use disorder, trauma, or communication problems within relationships. I think the answers are already within each of us. Therapy is a way to unlock those answers so you can live freely and authentically. I believe in fostering a deeply caring, non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel heard, seen, and supported. I meet people where they are and together, our work involves making incremental changes that improve your life.

Folks I see often face relationship problems, relational/family trauma or c-PTSD, mood-related challenges, or self-esteem troubles.
Welcoming new clients! I see individuals and relationships, including romantic and non-romantic duos (i.e. friends, adult siblings). My approach is trauma-/systems-informed and relational. Our work together will respond to what you need from this space, recognizing that no one approach fits all. We’ll make sense of a constellation of experiences, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, exploring their origins and contexts, protective functions, and impacts on your self and relationships. Our collaborative process enables you (us!) to gently explore past wounds, deepen reflection and curiosity, and find new ways of being to heal and grow.

People often come to my office for a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career concerns and grief.
We all experience challenges during our everyday lives. Sometimes these challenges can seem overwhelming and discouraging. I work with people who want to make changes in their lives to help themselves overcome these difficult experiences. These changes can often be difficult to contemplate, yet alone act on. I strive to create a supportive environment for my clients where they can explore their concerns and the emotions that arise.

I believe that "diagnosis and treatment" is too narrow a model to understand the depth and richness of our human experience, heal the wounds of our past history, and allow us to embody our joy and our fullness. I invite you to not only remove existing symptoms and change unhealthy behavior patterns, but to create a life of love, authenticity, and celebration.

Working from a trauma informed person-centered perspective, a trusting and collaborative client-therapist relationship is the basis of my work.

I specialize in relationships, trauma, and authenticity working from a psychoanalytic, humanistic, and trauma informed perspective.

In more than 25 years as a psychologist, I've cultivated a profound respect for the ways people reshape their lives despite daunting problems. I see my role as helping you understand how a particular problem is working, noticing moments you are living more according to your own designs, and solidifying these changes. Couples are a particular interest of mine. I meet with couples trying to decide if they are a good fit for a committed relationship; couples who want to undo habits of conflict that diminish connection; and long-term couples who find they've drifted into parallel lives. I am keeping a waiting list for clients.
