I enjoy helping people overcome the obstacles they are facing in their life through brief, goal directed marital and individual therapy.

Providing therapy for anxious "tweens", teens, and twenty-somethings for the past 24 years. When one member of a family is struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance abuse, or overwhelming stress, it can have a devastating impact on both the individual and the family members who love them.

Is your anxiety getting in the way of accomplishing your life goals? Do you have a complicated relationship with food & your body? Do you struggle with relationships or feel like you have limited support from people in general? Does life feel like one bad situation after another, almost like you can't catch a break? If any of this resonates, I would be glad to walk with you in your journey of leading a more authentic, fulfilling life. I believe that our early experiences really shape us, and at times (even unknowingly) make us feel stuck.

I help adults, young adults, and teens work toward their mental health and wellness goals. These past few years have been extremely difficult, resulting in higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship conflicts. Using a strengths based approach, we will assess your symptoms and create an actionable and customized treatment plan.

Helping someone to feel comfortable and safe discussing whatever they are struggling with is my highest priority. The decision to talk to a professional about personal problems is often difficult and frightening. However, the way I see it is that we all encounter challenges that may be beyond our ablity to handle well alone at some points in our lives. Having the courage to ask for help is really a strength rather than a weakness. People who come to me for help say I am easy to talk to and provide them with the chance to develop a healthy perspective.

We have all felt lost at times and feel we cannot find our way. But I want you to know you are not alone on this journey.

We will work together at your own pace and when you work with me, I will empower you to accomplish your goals one step at a time.
