Thank you for visiting my page and giving me the opportunity to offer help and healing. I have been a licensed psychotherapist for over 20 years. During my career, I have worked with various populations including adults, children, adolescents, and couples. I have specialized in treating adults with depression, anxiety, childhood and adult trauma, relationship problems, and those experiencing major life changes and losses. I see my purpose as helping an individual feel more in control of their Iife and not allowing the past to control them; to ease anxiety and eliminate depression.

Are you suffering from self-limiting beliefs based on unhappy experiences in the past? Has a childhood rejection led you feeling as if your presence is an imposition to those around you? Do you only share ideas when directly asked? Have you been wondering why you have been repeating the same dysfunctional patterns over and over in life? Has it puzzled you why some places/people/situations… trigger you in the same way and you have no idea where it came from? You are not alone! Millions of people worldwide suffer from minor and major traumas that are still affecting their day to day lives without knowing!

Would you like to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world we live in? Sometimes difficult moods, thoughts or circumstances seem to take over our lives. I provide masters level psychotherapy for a variety of ages. I believe compassion, validation, empathy and forgiveness are part of what we all require for individual growth and the development of our sense of self, and self-esteem. Working with adults, children, adolescents, and families, I have found that being truly heard can and does change lives.

Please note: I have one telehealth opening at 1pm on Tuesday.

I am a firm believer in creating accommodations and striving for self-compassion and acceptance. I believe that we as humans are wired for connection. At times unhealthy relationships are all we know. I enjoy working with couples as I believe that making a commitment to another human is one of the most vulnerable things we do in our lives. I strive to help my clients and couples develop a strong sense of self to foster healthy, reliable, and trustworthy relationships.

Are you successful on paper, but still struggle to find fulfillment in life, or feel like you are “never enough”? Do you find social interactions overwhelming, and constantly replay them in your head, worried about how you came across to others? Have you searched keywords like “perfectionism” or “impostor syndrome” and feel like it might describe you? I help young to middle-aged women (ages 21 to 55) who struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, low self-esteem, or relational trauma. I also specialize in supporting clients through stressful life changes or transitions.

The world is constantly changing, and change can be unsettling. Looking back at the last 5 years, the way we interact with people has completely transformed. With that change comes new worries and re-evaluating priorities. Sometimes it helps to have an outside perspective, and I am here as a calm, compassionate and introspective therapist. In my decade of working in the field of therapy I’ve worked with people who struggle with trauma, anxiety, anger and grief. After seeing how many clients had relationships change during the pandemic I decided to focus more of my practice to marriage and couples therapy.

Everyone has vulnerabilities, but imagine a life where your vulnerabilities have become your strengths. Although it may seem overwhelming now, with the right support, your pain can be transformed into an incredible source of personal growth. From my own experiences and those I have supported on their unique journeys, I have seen the true potential of transformation. For this reason, I offer more than just therapy - together, we will create a safe and compassionate space where you can confront your challenges, empower yourself, and transform your life.

Being a human can feel hard. Life may bring feelings of being stuck, confused or hopeless. If you are ready to make changes - I am here to listen, support you through these challenges.
