Do you struggle daily to find relief from stress? Are you dissatisfied or unhappy? Is your energy on empty with no time for yourself? Do you feel guilty saying no or speaking up for yourself at home, work, or with friends? You put on a brave face, but really inside you feel like a mess just moments from being exposed. Your relationships aren’t what you want them to be and you feeling like you’re failing. Do you dream of something different but don't know how to create change?

You love and cherish your child or teenager. And, you work hard to provide for their physical/emotional well-being because happy, healthy kids promote joyful families. But sometimes despite your best efforts, your child continues to struggle with behavioral problems, peer relationships, family changes, deficits in social/emotional development, aftermath of traumatic experiences, or mental health challenges. Many parents like you are tasked to find the necessary help and resources that their children require. My training and experience in issues related to trauma, mental health, and attachment position me well to serve the needs of your family.

My clients are experiencing conflict, emotional abuse, anxiety, addiction, depression, or grief. I see individuals and couples who are ready to change or are looking for help sorting out what to do. Some have been hurt deeply by a breach of trust. Others are dealing with devastating adult or childhood trauma. Through my training and professional background as an attorney and counselor, I help them find a path to recovery. Clients gain clarity and insight, and learn to manage anxiety, depression, grief, fear and traumatic memories. I am formally trained in CBT, EMDR, DBT and have taught couples counseling at the graduate level.

I firmly believe that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Each person carries a unique story. Through compassionate exploration, untangling internal and external pressures, and a focus on personal empowerment, a pathway to embracing one's authentic self can be revealed. Whether navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, or life changes in relationships and career, know that there is hope even amidst the darkest moments.

Our lives can be filled with so many obstacles and challenges on a daily basis. Whether these challenges are personal, family, work or peers, we sometimes need to get additional perspectives and clarity on some of life's most pressing issues.

I use humor, compassion and unconditional support to help individuals, couples and families work through a variety of presenting issues. My goal is to help clients resolve the main problem in therapy and help them gain additional strengths and insights in their lives.

I adhere to the thought that all humans have the capacity to develop, grow, and heal. I believe good work is based on the strength of the therapeutic relationship. Trust and safety are something that must be earned. I am passionate about developing this feeling of connection, to encourage clients to live their best lives. I understand seeking help requires courage. I value our differences and purposefully enter sessions with sincerity. Even when conditions are right, healing and growth can feel strange and uncomfortable. It's my hope that we can move through this discomfort together, nurturing the powerful changes you are worthy of.

Nov. & Dec. Intakes open now! - You know how to juggle a million things. You’re constantly on the go and doing everything for everyone. There’s no time to stop and not a minute to spare. Sometimes you get in a flow and think, “I’ve got this!” But when you hit a bump in the road - your strong exterior comes crashing down. Suddenly everything is a disaster and nothing is working. You hate this. You don’t know why you feel this way - nothing is seriously “wrong” or “bad” in your life. You are wondering, “Why does it seem like everyone else has it figured out?” The harder that you work to get things together - the worse you feel.
