My goal is to create a safe space where everyone can feel heard and validated. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and transitional issues. I have a passion for working with adolescents, both individually and with their families. Adolescence can be a challenging times for families and I believe in creating an open environment for encouraging both communication and the acceptance of needed privacy. I have extensive training and experience in systemic family therapy. This means that I am able to treat not only the individual, but also the entire family of origin, where appropriate.

Do anxiety and scary thoughts prevent you from living the life you want? Does regret about the past prevent you from moving into the future? Do you ever wish you could go back to the way life ‘used to be’? We can become so fixated on the past that we feel helpless to build our futures. We become so lost in others’ expectations of us that we forget what we want and who we are. Entering into therapy is a brave step and a sign that you are ready to fight for yourself. Therapy can be a creative and exhilarating experience. I can teach you the skills to quiet the negative voices of self-doubt and fear.

Hello! Are you feeling unheard, alone, or even uncertain of your next steps? I know how you feel. For a while, I felt the same. Although I did not always have access to professional support, these feelings were a big motivator in becoming a therapist after studying psychology and social work. I have had the pleasure of working with people of various walks of life: parents struggling with substance issues, young adults finding their identity, women of color experiencing racial issues, to name a few.

My job is to help you step into your personal power. Life can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. Shifting thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you can lead a more satisfying and joyful life. Such emotions as grief, depression, anxiety, anger and fear often block you from enjoying a full life. Changing thoughts that manifest negative emotional states, learning more effective communication methods, stopping addictive or self destructive behaviors, and learning stress management techniques are some areas where I offer assistance. I specialize in the treatment of trauma from childhood abuse, as well as PTSD that is the result of other traumatic experiences.
