Currently I see adults & couples facing anxiety, relationship issues/divorce & work-life stress w/emphasis on personal development & empowerment to reach maximum potential in life.
I work with individuals struggling with stress, work-life imbalances, & toxic relationships using a unique blend of therapeutic and coaching techniques in a time when you may be feeling overwhelmed, confused and lost. While my speciality is helping people in high-performing and high-burnout careers mitigate unproductive work and life habits, I love to work with people who are looking for something “more” out of their lives. Together we will find the best fit to help determine your goals, provide direction and start on a path of boundaries, assertiveness, and happiness.

I am a holistic therapist that honors and cherishes your innate inner potential and possibility. I have worked with individuals, couples, parents, and families that are not experiencing their deepest aspirations and desires. Through an integrative holistic approach to therapy, you can be reminded of and accept your innate ability to realize your infinite potential and unimaginable possibility. This allows you to overcome the barriers that hinder living the life you desire. The holistic approach is an existential strengths based approach that works through mind, body, and spirit to gently guide you toward acceptance and recognition of your innate ability.

As a psychotherapist, it is most important for me to recognize the strengths, resilience and worth of each client. Respect, compassion, warmth, genuineness, caring and an earnest desire to support and help others has always guided my practice. I have been trained in a variety of clinical psychological models and techniques. My belief that as each human being is unique, as are their problems and concerns. Therefore, I am best described as an "integrationist" weaving multiple methods to address the needs of every individual client, couple or family.

I work with individual adults and teenagers who are going through a difficult time in their lives. Most often they are experiencing some kind of stressful event, such as difficulty in a relationship or work/school related problems, some form of loss, or simply general dissatisfaction in their lives. Many have some degree of anxiety or depression and find therapy a helpful means of managing these feelings. Over the years I have also worked with many survivors of sexual abuse, people coping with cancer, MS, ALS, and 9/11 first responders and veterans who were coping with trauma, loss and PTSD.

Do you feel so overwhelmed by your emotions that you no longer can tell if you control them or if they control you? Or do you feel unhappy, lonely or tired of getting into arguments with your spouse? Are you feeling frustrated when you aren’t feeling like yourself- worried, sad, or unmotivated? Depression, stress, and anxiety can affect everything from work to relationships, not meeting goals, or even trouble completing daily tasks. Sometimes it can be challenging to understand ‘why’ or what is causing the anxious feelings.

You deserve a place to be seen without judgment. This is where we begin! When my clients first start working with me they have often been silently carrying a heavy weight for a long time. They frequently live with constant worry and have lost their sense of self in the process of trying to keep it all together and please others. They feel scared that they’re not good enough, are falling short of expectations, or find themselves frustrated and trapped by the demands of their role as a partner, child, or parent. They are creative, motivated, and resilient but have run into barriers that keep them from stepping into their power.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
