For all of us at different times, life presents its challenges. You may be seeking direction about your career, a mid-life crisis, raising children, worklife, elderly parents or grief. Therapy is about becoming your best self and learning skills to deal with those challenges. Often, sharing our feelings with an objective person who is a concerned listener, can change how we see a situation. I have extensive experience working with students of all ages, those who are neurotypical and those who neurodivergent, children of alcoholics and those who have experienced adverse childhoods. Parents and married couples also come to my practice

I find that an empathetic approach is the best way to build rapport and trust with a client. I am fortunate to have worked across many populations (infants, children, adolescents, adults, geriatrics, military personnel, special needs, etc) and feel that creative arts therapy is universal. I have experience in a myriad of diagnoses ranging from anxiety and depression to acute psychiatric disorders.

People come to me because of some degree of dissatisfaction or unhappiness in their lives. They may have any number of concerns including: irritibility, frustration, worry, or depression, or physical symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, pain or discomfort. They may know pretty well why they feel the way they do, or they may feel thoroughly confused. My focus is not limited only to treating symptoms, but also to making one's life and relationships really work. I am unwavering in my commitment to facilitating an authentic and lasting satisfaction in the lives of my patients and clients.

Have you been contemplating seeing a therapist but are not sure it is for you or would be helpful? There are many reasons a person may seek therapy. People usually seek therapy because they are unhappy or dissatisfied with their life and want or need change. Mental health issues, addictions to chemicals or unhealthy lifestyles, family or relationship issues or a general discontent with your life and the choices that are not working anymore are some of the reasons to seek treatment. Therapy is also a perfect addition to a wellness or self improvement and/or self exploration practice.

Perhaps, you are experiencing some difficulties in your life or are struggling with mental illness. Regardless of the severity of your problems, I am confident that I can help.

You will quickly see that I love being a clinical psychologist and I love working with clients. I limit the number of clients I see each week so that each person receives the optimal level of personalized care.
