However overwhelmed by your thoughts, feelings, or past you may be, I provide a space of non-judgment, honesty, and compassion. My goal is to support and collaborate with you in finding a greater sense of balance and well-being through curiosity.

Are you UNHAPPY in one or more areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, health, taking care of yourself, self esteem) and unsure of the right steps you need to take? Are you feeling STUCK and UNABLE To Move Forward? Are ANXIETY or DEPRESSIVE feelings getting in the way of achieving your goals? THE GOOD NEWS is that there are effective solutions to these struggles and YOU DON'T NEED TO SUFFER ANY LONGER. For more than 20 years I have been helping people recover, grow, find answers to their difficulties and achieve the life they want.

"I Just Can't Seem to Get Over My Problem..." Does that statement resonate with you? Even successful people can still have unresolved struggles. I help people move beyond their stumbling blocks. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, disturbing life experiences such as abuse, accidents, traumas, sudden illness/death can all prevent you from happiness. When symptoms persist, you can feel discouraged or defeated. You are not alone! Many clients feel this way when they first see me. Often, they've struggled for quite some time and have tried everything, only to experience partial relief. Hope is always available.

My first goal in working with individuals and couples is to provide a non-judgmental, accepting and affirming space. Through our unique therapeutic alliance, you will develop awareness around the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that have perhaps made life feel unmanageable. We will develop strategies based on various modalities which have proven to be successful in bringing positive change. Together we will create a picture of what a meaningful life looks like for you and we will work together to manifest it into reality.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience in providing short to medium-term treatment that is specific and goal oriented. Early in our work together we will strive to identify specific things you want to change in your life, so we can evaluate along the way whether our strategies are working or need to be tweaked. I also believe it is important to remain flexible and allow space in therapy for exploration, as we might not be fully aware of how certain things affect our lives at the beginning of therapy.

We offer therapy to individuals, couples, multi-partner relationships, & families.

Do you want to find your way through this crisis and come out stronger and even more empowered? It is possible!!! Quarantined and in "social isolation" we can go deeper within (even if we didn't want to.) We can use this opportunity to look inside and discover inner issues that keep us from being who we really are, and find the inner gifts and resources we didn't know we had, to go to the next level of our more empowered life. We can learn how to adapt successfully.

Finding the key to happiness, I have always believed, comes from understanding yourself and coming to terms with who you are. I work very compassionately, without judgment, in a collaborative fashion, to help facilitate greater self- acceptance and equanimity. Whether we investigate your own family dynamics or process through Emotionally Focused Therapy, sessions will help uncover the underlying emotional beliefs that direct your own internal "story".

I bring over 20 years of experience to my work, integrating evidence-based therapies such as CBT, mindfulness and relaxation, with traditional talk therapy. In a warm and safe environment, we will work together to help you gain relief from what is bothering you, including relationships, depression or anxiety. We'll also explore deeper experiences that may be the source of ongoing emotional difficulties. By using a flexible approach and methods that are right for you, you will develop new insights, create strategies to manage stressors, enhance your strengths, and be better able to make constructive choices for yourself.

I’m pretty excited for you because you showed up today which lets me know you are ready. Be proud of yourself for taking this first step; looking for the right provider. I help individuals who find themselves “stuck” in a cycle of making the same choices and decisions over and over again in their relationships, health goals, or career. My goal is to help you get unstuck and move forward. Our mental health can be impacted by life challenges which include trauma, loss, interpersonal, intimate, and familial conflict.

Do you feel like you are existing rather than fully living… like a passenger in your own life? Living life on ‘auto-pilot’ can leave us feeling unfulfilled, full of self-doubt and disconnected from our true selves and from others. Perhaps you feel like you are spinning your wheels in life – like something is missing in terms of your self-worth, career or relationships. Maybe you feel estranged from who you really are, lost or ‘off-track’ in your direction, and wondering how you got here. Or stuck in repetitive patterns with disappointing results. All of this can sap your energy and make life feel like a ‘slog’.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or alone? Does your child seem unhappy, defiant, or insecure? The moment you schedule an intake appointment, you are no longer alone. I understand that the process of beginning treatment can seem difficult, and I value the courage it takes to make that first contact call or email. I'll be right there on the other side to help you navigate the process.

A collaborative relationship is central to making meaningful change and lasting growth. As a psychotherapist, I aim to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and valued. I am committed to walking with you on your journey from where you are to where you want to be—together, we will work to heal your past, bolster your present, and cultivate a future that aligns with your most authentic self.
