I work with college age and adult individuals, struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, depression, life transitions, pre and postpartum, medical/pain issues, coping with stress and relationship issues. I have been a therapist for 20 years, and feel confident that you can overcome barriers that are affecting you emotionally, psychologically and physically.

Call today to get started on making the necessary changes to improve your life.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, my enthusiasm for my work has only grown. I view my role as a facilitator, helping people discover individual strengths while becoming accepting and respectful of vulnerabilities. Learning healthy ways to survive major life crises and/or chronic conditions is also a focus. I teach effective communication skills to increase understanding and respect for differences while enhancing growth in connection. If asked about my greatest asset as a therapist, it is my ability to "listen," and to provide a safe place for exploration and resolution.

As a dedicated practitioner with more than 20 years experience, I bring a level of empathy and caring to all of my patients.

People who contact me are looking for better ways to cope with issues related to self-esteem, depression, anxiety, past trauma, narcissism (in others around them and in themselves) and/or unsuccessful life coping strategies. They are wanting to live and work in more fulfilling ways.

REGARDING COVID 19: We have to find ways to cope without lots of the things we normally rely on (going out with friends, going to the gym, 12-step meetings, religious services, etc.).

It is inevitable that our lives are consumed with daily challenges and obstacles. For each of us, our ability to manage those challenges differs; or, we settle and adapt much to the detriment of our emotional wellbeing and feeling as though there is no end in sight. Therapy provides an opportunity to examine those challenges and reframe them into a new, positive perspective. When we are able to see our way through and discover solutions to those problems from a position of strength, it can take on a whole new meaning.

Living life with a chronic illness is often lonely and difficult.

I also have many years of experience counseling adults with depression, anxiety, high functioning autism spectrum disorder, and mood disorders.

Together, we will help you change what you thought was unchangeable but also accept what you thought was unacceptable.
