In life, you may often feel you’re stagnant, in the same repetitive cycle. You feel stressed and overwhelmed with responsibilities. Your direction seems unclear, and you’re uncertain how to reach the next chapter. You may be an overachiever who strives for perfection yet, are exhausted at the end of the day. You feel as if no one understands your inner thoughts and experience difficulty living up to the expectations of others. You fear being judged, causing you to distance yourself for fear of rejection. You have troubled relationships with others, due to not having the time or energy to socialize or fear saying the wrong thing.

Most of my most current clients are adolescents and young adults wanting to uderstand why they are not satisfied with their lives. Most issues involve their relationships: Family, friend, sexual, work, or school. With the increased stress of the pandemic and economic insecurities today, everything is magnified and more difficult. What most clients want is to feel what they believe was normal again. Every story is unique and individual. No treatment plan is based on a cookie cutter approach. Your treatment is based on your needs and desires. You are a partner in your treatment. Actually you are in charge. I'm there to help you.

Welcome! I specialize in working with adult children of (and/or partners to) narcissists and the emotionally immature/abusive/unavailable. My clients say they’re relieved to have found a therapist who "gets" them. I am ready to "get" and care for you, too. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, self-doubt/blame, shame, guilt, a sense of obligation? Are you an expert "people pleaser" because you had to be? Did you receive attention, love, acceptance based on certain conditions? Did you experience controlling behavior and/or inconsistency/instability that felt unsafe? Is it hard to advocate for yourself? I get it.

“The only constant in life is change.” Are you adjusting to a: new job, relationship, loss of a loved one, or overall change in your way of life? Do you feel overwhelmed by the many changes causing you to feel stagnant? You notice others seemingly accepting change fluidly throughout their lives and are somewhat in awe of the process. You are tired of replaying the same scenario in your head, while your sadness and anxiety escalate.

Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

As a mental health professional, I believe in creating a safe and genuine environment for a client to be free to acknowledge their most vulnerable self, without judgment. The client-counselor relationship is unique and collaborative, therefore the significance of a trusting bond cannot be overemphasized. I believe that the therapeutic relationship grows organically, with time, and at the client’s pace. Each client is unique, so I integrate approaches best suited to the individual and the situation–Psychodynamic, CBT, Solution Focused, and Mindfulness–but at the core of therapy is self-exploration.

Check out new support groups! Maybe you’re feeling lost, consumed by thoughts, or even just a bit 'off.' These feelings are part of being human, but it can be unsettling to notice shifts in our well-being and even scarier to begin healing. You don’t deserve to feel like you’re putting life on hold! Let’s give you permission to pursue better things. I invite you to feel messy, complicated, and afraid, and to show up with me anyway. Because it is precisely in showing up that you’ll see you’re no longer alone and instead supported by a teammate. Now–what can you expect from your teammate?
