I pride myself on working with teenagers and adults who have not found success in previous therapy experiences.

In a safe and respectful setting, utilizing traditional and holistic therapies, you can develop skills that bring you into greater partnership with you. As you come to truly know and understand your own unique journey, you will be led to skills that benefit the whole of you. When you feel comfortable within yourself, inner calm becomes readily accessible. Relationships that are sticky become fluid and more enjoyable. Whatever your personal issues, learning to understand and trust your own unique experience becomes the heart of a life well-lived. This is true for adults who see me individually, for couples, and with older kids/teens.

The work is conducted in a comfortable, caring and private setting. I will work with you to achieve your goals, so that you leave with a lighter step – with a sense of confidence and purpose, knowing that you can confront life’s issues and problems because you will have the tools and know how to use them.

Slowing down is hard when our lives are busy, and we feel out of balance—it can feel like there is very little time to work on ourselves.  Therapy is about creating space for positive change. When we do manage to slow down and make room for ourselves, we can grow and create lasting adjustments that make our lives more balanced.  Entering therapy provides that space and opportunity. I work collaboratively with my clients, providing a safe and non-judgmental space to explore issues, gain perspective, develop new and creative coping skills, and strengthen one’s relationship with themselves and with others.

I view clients from a holistic perspective and consider the impact of health and wellness as an important part of our therapeutic work. I utilize Mindfulness practice in my work with adults and older adults who suffer from anxiety and depression, relationship issues, and parenting challenges of individuals on the Autism Spectrum . My focus is to help clients recognize their obstacles to inner peace and wellness by becoming more mindful in their daily lives. This awareness gives us the opportunity to make positive choices for real empowerment.
