I am a full-time practioner, and have been a therapist for over 30 years. I have worked in many different settings. I am not accepting new clients, other than the folks i have already communicated with. Trust is an important part of any relationship. I understand that it is something that is created slowly, and maintained over time. I often serve as someone who bears witness to the stories people bring with them. By listening to those that come to see me, I better understand their experiences and then have an opportunity to assist them to fully heal.

Navigating seasons of hardship or change can feel overwhelming, however, these moments where we feel the most uncomfortable give us the opportunity to grow. The progress you're craving and the feelings you're struggling with do have a purpose. Discomfort is our cue that something needs to change. Committing to therapy will not only teach you how to persevere, it will help you better understand the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that may be holding you back.

Mental health issues do not define who you are. It is something any of us can experience at any point in our lives. Maybe you're feeling depressed or anxious and cannot seem to pinpoint why. Or you might feel like the daily stress of life is becoming too much to tackle on your own. Perhaps you are even here in hopes to help someone else in your life. Counseling creates a safe place to discuss any and all mental health issues whether big or small. Talking to someone can help you gain the necessary tools to take back control over your emotions and change your behaviors in a more positive direction.

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I know there must be a million thoughts running through your brain right now. Sometimes our thoughts can feel like they are on an out-of-control highway or racetrack. We may not know which direction to take, which flag to fly or which repair to begin with. I want to congratulate you on taking that first step: researching who can you talk to. Now, let's chat and figure out what our next steps are. Remember; if you're not speaking it, you're storing it and that gets heavy.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with over 30 years of experience in solo private practice, teaching and service in the community. Having a relationship with my patients and taking care of them are central in my work. Perhaps because of my background in the arts (dance), I also deeply value the creative yet disciplined use of self and an active authentic engagement in the therapeutic process. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and young adults (18-25). I also treat individuals, couples, and families who struggle with transitional issues throughout the life cycle.
