I believe I was born a therapist. Caring and understanding others have always been natural parts of me. I believe each of us is born with the inner guidance to grow into the best version of ourselves. But there are many challenges along the way that interfere with that process. Childhood trauma, loss and painful circumstances, make us doubt and lose sight of our inner guidance. We begin to unconsciously work against ourselves; the result is pain in the form of emotional distress, unhealthy choices and hurtful relationships. But we have the ability and even an obligation to ourselves and family to heal and rediscover our true selves.

It is always interesting beginning therapy with a Client - your unique set of circumstances has resulted in feelings, thoughts, issues and maybe symptoms. Together, as we begin to understand what you're experiencing, it is equally fascinating to join you on the journey of exploring options and goals. You may feel more empowered as you figure out short and long-term changes. I look forward to helping you with this process, using all of the experiences and tools that are relevant.

People decide to begin therapy for a variety of reasons. Many have had painful or traumatic experiences that they are unable to move past. Some feel stuck in unhelpful thought patterns or behaviors, or struggle to find fulfillment in relationships or at work. Others may feel burdened with excessive worry, or with feelings of low self worth and inadequacy. I believe that recovery involves healing of the mind and body, and I am trained in several modalities, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), eating disorder treatment, and suicide prevention.

I provide person-centered mindful therapy, drawing on powerful evidence-based approaches like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solutions-focused therapy.

The quest for safe, nurturing, loving connection serves a fundamental need that many of us can spend our entire lives striving to meet. For too many, this need is being felt acutely now during these trying times. The challenge to connect often brings a range of intense emotions, including anxiety, anger, shame, sadness and disappointment. Such emotions run counter to what one is actively yearning for: the sense of being loved. I welcome individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds who want to decrease anxiety and depression, enhance personal wellbeing and build their capacity for loving relationships.

Are you struggling to feel like "yourself" again? Are you unable to feel settled, unable to keep up with your schedule or commitments? Are you feeling upset or more emotional for no apparent reason? Crises, be they large or small, disorient and leave us feeling uncertain, less able to rely upon and function like "ourselves." Growth and change are among the most positive and humanly adaptive qualities and yet the most uncertain and difficult experiences in life. At such times we want unbiased and reliable support to help restore our sense of self and help make positive choices for our lives.
