Life can be overwhelming. Whether you're looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation, or seeking to increase your self awareness in order to make conscious changes in your life, I can help guide you in a non-judgmental setting to explore your experiences, feelings, and goals. My practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches with a focus on helping clients develop increased understanding, effective coping skills, and positive self esteem. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process. Let's work together to bolster your strengths and facilitate the change and growth you are seeking.

We all deserve to experience a sense of mental and emotional wellbeing, and a time and space to foster this growth. Our problems may differ greatly, and we may all come from different walks of life, but our human condition remains consistent: we all experience suffering, and we all have a desire to feel better.

I am a dedicated, licensed clinical social worker with over 28 years of experience. My objective is to help you create solutions to your challenges.

I have an interpersonal style, and believe in treating the whole family unit. It is most important to create an atmosphere of trust and comfort, along with the clear boundaries of practice. However, the most important aspect of treatment is all parties working together to achieve the goal. No therapist, without cooperation of all parties, will be able to achieve goals.

I pride myself in serving the community as a psychologist who leads with compassion, creativity, a sense of humor, a curious mind, and an open heart. I understand that, for many people, opening yourself up and being vulnerable to a complete stranger, can be a daunting task at first. My ideal client would be any individual or couple willing to reflect on their lives and experiences, whether that be positive, negative, or indifferent.

Life is stressful and finding the right person to connect with can be difficult. Let me make that easier for you. Currently accepting new patients for video sessions only. I have extensive experience working with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders and substance abuse disorders.

Let’s start off by normalizing how scary and vulnerable reaching out for help can be, especially if this is your first time seeking therapy. We get it, so we strive to create a safe atmosphere where personal challenges can be overcome and fulfilling relationships and lives can be created. Let’s also normalize the concerns you may be having because experiencing any sort of emotional distress can often leave us feeling alone. We can help you understand and address anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life adjustments, sexual concerns, relationship concerns and even more so the less noticed, unspoken challenges that come with them:

All people have the capacity to face challenges and improve the way they respond to difficult situations. It is possible to learn to manage thoughts and feelings, so you are not completely overwhelmed with life's challenges. I have over 15 years of experience guiding adults, children and families through their most difficult times. Through the integration of support, education and awareness, you will learn to cope and move forward to achieve balance in your life.

Using a strength based approach, I begin with positivity and goals at the forefront. I have over 15 years of expereince. With compassionate listening, I approach each situation according to specific needs. I use your own strengths and experiences to navigate through your current situation in hopes to create boundaries with effective coping. I encourage independence and specialize in building life long skills to promote successful relationships. Most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself. I value my clients and work very hard to maintain retention with trust and communication. I have experience with all ages.

As someone who suffered from anxiety & trauma, I can tell you that I spent years looking for the right therapist & I just wanted results. I knew I had the potential to achieve so much more and create a life that I was excited about living, but I didn’t know where to start. I saw many therapists over the years & I was sick of just TALKING & re-living things over and over without seeing improvement. Finally, I met a therapist that changed my life. He introduced me to brainspotting, & IFS. I was skeptical at first but I was open minded & tried it out. I learned that trauma is stored in the body & that talk therapy doesn’t address that.

Over the past 30+ years, I have treated the varied emotional problems of several diverse generations. Those clients who worked hard and gave significant time to the treatment were all, for the most part,able to put their relationships in order and further enhance them as well as becoming rather successful in their work. My mentor, an analysand of Erich Fromm, told me long ago that "each person has his/her own poetry." My job was to let it unfold. It all sounded very lofty but time revealed that this was the way.
