Finding the right therapist is important and seeking help is a courageous step. You want a person with experience, who you can trust and feel comfortable with.

I offer a therapeutic environment of respectful challenge, acceptance, curiosity, and joy. My approach to therapy is "integrative."

I see children of all ages and abilities struggling with feeding difficulties, including food selectivity, difficulty trying new foods, food refusal, and stress with eating in social situations. I have experience working with children with medical issues that affect their eating (including food allergies and GI disorders). Parents often say they wish they could cook just one family meal, take their child out to eat, or go to just one grocery store. I help parents experiencing stress during mealtimes, shopping, cooking, and offering new foods to their children.

Do you feel lost, alone or unmotivated? Are you feeling stuck? Perhaps overwhelmed and disconnected? Like you are just surviving? Life doesn't always turn out the way we planned or envisioned for ourselves. Sometimes we go down paths or take turns that we did not expect. This can bring on a range of emotions that we are not prepared for. This is normal, and you are not alone. My goal is to provide a safe space to process these feelings, find balance and manage the stressors that arise in life.

You are not alone as we partner together to explore, uncover and remove the obstacles that prevent you from becoming your best self and having the quality of life you long for. Using a psychodynamic framework to engage you, build hope, and establish a healing relationship, I specialize in dealing with the cumulative life stresses, traumas, griefs and losses that insidiously sabotage your best efforts, deplete your energy, tempt you into addictions to numb and avoid the pain life has brought you, or turn your long suffering into despair and depression.

Feeling overwhelmed is an understatement and discouragement is all too familiar. Life is hard! Your relationship is falling apart and you have no idea where to begin to keep it from crumbling to pieces. You just wish your spouse would change. You wish they would just accept you for who you are. If only they listened to you and loved you like you need them to. The hamster wheel keeps turning and the same conflicts keep surfacing. You've tried over and over again to change but you just end up right where you started. Will it ever get better?

Often we have little or no say in the difficulties that befall us. We have our own health problems, our relationship troubles, our work demands - as well as those of the people we love. Often we don't know what to do or we can't do what we wish. In spite of not being able to change circumstances, we do have a say in how we relate to these conflicts and transitions. Looking at our own response to crisis, both large and small, is an important part of therapy. In looking at our response, we are on a journey of self discovery and knowledge. Even in hard times there is a kind of joy that comes from self understanding and awareness.

As an LMFT, I use a trauma-informed care approach to work with individuals, couples, and families in community and private practice settings. A few challenges that I have supported my clients with navigating include: anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, chronic stress, communication issues, emotional disconnect, healing from the damaging effects of familial and societal messaging, and negotiating more satisfying relationships.

Do you feel anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing life stressors, loss, conflict, change, illness or trauma? When this happens, and coping skills break down, life quickly unravels. Compassion, empathy and ability, paired with a therapist who can guide you to healing, can really help you feel better and improve your quality of life. That person is me, and I am honored to walk along with you on the path to healing. Rarely is a single approach right for healing, growth and change. Rather, I believe in an eclectic approach to ensure one's desired goals for treatment are met.

I enjoy assisting parents and other caregivers (teachers, daycare providers, therapists and caseworkers, etc) to make sense of their own past in order to be fully present in their current relationships. My primary focus is on children and families who have been through challenging experiences, including traumas.

Engaging in therapy is a vulnerable and sometimes scary process. I specialize in relationship therapy. In the 20+ years. I have been a relationship therapist, I often find the thing that brings people together initially, gets lost after the "honeymoon" period is over. It is easy to get complacent with all of life's stressors. Being a strength-based therapist, I believe that anything is possible when people are willing to work. And to be honest, therapy is work! I view my clients as the experts in their life and work together with them to create positive change.
