Life has a way of throwing challenges at you when you least expect it. It can be hard to know how to understand and cope with those life challenges. But fear not, because you don’t have to face them alone.

Your mental health matters, and I am here to help you or your teen foster self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence. We are living in an especially stressful time, and we all need some extra support. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I utilize an empathetic, person-centered approach. Together, we will develop goals and a treatment plan to help you become the best version of yourself. I will be transitioning to Telehealth after May 2024.

I am a caring, compassionate, and active psychotherapist who is committed to helping others find their path and purpose in life, reduce problematic symptoms, and fulfill their needs and visions. I endeavor to work toward the rapid resolution of relationship, emotional, and work problems, in order to help my clients achieve more satisfying and meaningful lives.

My experience in the field of mental health extends over thirty years. I specialize in working with those who suffer from anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma, but also, a number of other issues which brings people to treatment who are looking for relief from their symptoms.

I look forward to helping you heal from your past hurts and those places where you are stuck in the present. I believe that "Nothing changes if nothing changes," and if we do not identify and work on our unfinished emotional business we continue to experience the same symptoms and challenges like being in a continuous negative loop where the past is affecting the present. I treat individuals with: Trauma; Childhood Emotional Abuse and Neglect; Depression; Anxiety; Dysfunctional Relationships and Disordered Eating.

You're slamming the alarm clock; it was another night of broken sleep. Feeling drained and wishing for a moment of peace and happiness. You are giving to others when you're running low and rarely have time for yourself. Pressures and stress are piling up and weighing on your shoulders. You want to reach out for help but are scared of being vulnerable. At night when you lay down to sleep, the thoughts are racing and the worries return. All that you want is understanding, support, and acceptance.

Hello! And welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I am deeply committed to walking with my clients on their journeys of self-discovery as they confront their toughest avoidances and uncover their vulnerabilities. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to share their stories while helping to empower them to make changes, create meaning, and discover ways to enjoy life.

Everyone is on a journey, but not every journey is the same. My approach to therapy begins with meeting you where you are at in your journey and allowing you to create a space to share your story, supporting you as you address mental health issues you feel are creating challenges in your day-to-day life and creating the changes you desire. Together we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and more so you can begin to thrive in your journey through life.

Mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger, stress, etc., are just that- symptoms! These symptoms are our bodies way of telling us "something's not right" or "there needs to be a change here." It is imperative that we are mindful in listening to our bodies, and intentionally work to meet our emotional needs. In therapy, we dedicate time to build insight, strengthen more compassionate mindsets, and learn coping skills which regulate our bodies.

I am committed to supporting and empowering my clients on their path toward self growth and healing. Each client is their own unique person, therefore I combine ideas and techniques from different counseling frameworks. I work with varying ages of adults, with the college age demographic being my primary client focus. Using a culturally competent lens, I specialize in the areas of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, family of origin concerns and interpersonal communication. I am relational, and value the importance of the therapeutic alliance as a tool to facilitate change.

A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself (Maryam Hasnaa). I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and professionals who are motivated to work with an experienced therapist to more deeply understand, heal, grow, and feel at home with themselves and in their relationships. I believe in providing a safe, private, open-minded, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment for my clients to explore themselves and commit to personally meaningful change.

Coaching is a perfect blend of insight and action. Through this process, we will work together to understand what needs to be changed, why it needs to be changed and how it should be changed. Professional Focus: work transitions, professional development, promotion, staff communication and conflict, efficiency, burnout, and work life balance. Personal Focus: weight loss, exercise adherence, tobacco cessation, stress reduction, relationship management, boundary formation and implementation, organization, time management, and self development.

I believe that therapy is a wonderful way to explore inner thoughts and feelings in a safe, supportive, encouraging environment. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with a variety of challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, post partum, infertility, miscarriage, parenting struggles, and family and relationship difficulties. I believe in the integration of body, mind, and spirit and the importance of bringing balance to one's life for optimal functioning. Our journey together would work toward wellness and healing in a trusting, safe, and secure relationship.

I see psychotherapy as a psycho-educational experience where you learn about yourself. This counseling process of self-exploration leads to understanding self-defeating thinking and behaviors that may keep you from actualizing potential for successful relationships, success in business and career and from having a really happy life. During the years since I have been a licensed psychologist, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals and couples to achieve a happier, emotionally healthier, and financially successful life. My patients describe me as being a no nonsense person, while at the same time being warm and comfortable.
