Sometimes life doesn’t seem to make any sense. The things we thought defined us don’t quite fit the same way they used to. The goals, dreams, and aspirations that used to motivate us just aren’t moving us like before. Even though on the surface things may seem “fine” to most other people, we know that in reality, we’re struggling to get by and long to feel truly connected to the lives we have. We get tired of feeling empty, we get tired of feeling overwhelmed, and sometimes we get tired of feeling altogether.

My approach to therapy is compassionate and direct. I will be respectful, but I will also be honest. I routinely give homework assignments as part of therapy, with the belief that if you accomplish the task you will start to experience the change you seek. I will try to understand both the nature and context of your problem and the potential impact of change before I offer helpful solutions. I will ask you about where you are trying to go, and we will work together to develop a practical plan to help you get there.

Depression, anxiety, and anger can easily overwhelm us when we feel stuck between accepting our problems and changing them. I teach clients practical skills that help them find the balance between these two seemingly opposing realities. I believe people are already doing the best they can, and that we all need extra support at times to get “unstuck.” I view my clients as the experts in their own lives; my role is to collaborate with them to find more effective solutions to their problems. I will work with you to create a clear path towards creating the life you want to live.

Accepting NEW Clients: Tuesdays at 3pm. We are all born with good intentions and infinite possibilities, but sometimes life knocks us off our path. Our past experiences may have shaped who we are today, including what our relationships look like with ourselves and others, but despite whatever tragic events that have occurred during our life, we are driven towards resiliency. Except this is where we can get stuck: what we used to do, what we've always done, isn't working anymore; we need to find another way. When we allow ourselves to feel connected to others and focus on our strengths, rather than weaknesses, we are able to heal.

Not all people need therapy long term. I believe therapy should be individualized to the person and collaborative. My goal as a therapist is to create a space in which you can transition to your life outside of the therapy room. I strongly believe in attunement and connection as being imperative to feel seen and validated which encourages growth and healing. Being witnessed allows us to deeply process issues, identify and attune to our individual needs to make progress toward your goals. Intrinsically, we have the tools to promote integration and wellness, but may require support, and experience validation in order to flourish.

Many life challenges have underlying causes, and one's willingness to explore the depth of who they are often provides unexpected resolutions beyond what is obvious. At the same time, addressing what is at hand while being patient with more in-depth work can also be helpful. My goal in therapy is to follow your needs and help you rediscover your wellbeing on your timeline while providing support and practical insight into your process for your recovery.

I believe that change is always possible. While often intimidating, therapy can be the first step toward improving your life. Whether struggling with a relationship, anger management, communication skills, parenting, self-identity, depression or anxiety, I work with my clients to identify the maladaptive thought processes, roadblocks and circumstances that have led to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, or helplessness. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples and families to identify life goals, improve self-awareness and communication, and implement lasting change.
