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 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.

Sometimes a simple change in the way we think or approach things leads to the inner peace and fulfillment we're searching for. Other times it's an emotional wound that has touched our core that we need to recover from. I provide a relationship-based therapy which focuses on the strengths present within all of us. Using this approach, I will work to help you overcome the obstacles that keep you stuck and unfulfilled. Especially now, during this unprecedented time of uncertainty, taking care of yourself has never been more important.

My experience includes over eight years of working with individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, challenges adjusting to significant life changes, and co-occurring mental health and other relationship challenges.
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.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
