It is my passion to help children, teens and young adults (ages 3-25) whenever there has been a concern for problematic behavior that has gotten them in trouble or that hurt someone. If you need help addressing something like this, or if you have questions generally about equipping your child to keep themselves and others safe (think about technology use, sexting, etc), I would love to work with you. I also really enjoy working with youth who need help processing a traumatic experience (I provide TF-CBT, an evidence based treatment program). When possible, I include the caregiver or parent in treatment.

Today's world is busy and demanding, with many stresses pulling at you day after day. It is normal to feel overwhelmed by the demands of life as we know it. And yet, wouldn't you like to find time for yourself? Or even time for yourself and your partner? Therapy can help create space to share concerns and vulnerabilities, in a way that each of you can more easily hear and understand. I use evidence based couples (Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy) and individual therapies (Cognitive Processing Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy) to nurture healing and growth with clients.

Life is a journey that is often fraught with painful or trying times. Perhaps you are presently attempting to navigate through one of these periods and have found that despite your best efforts you remain stuck. I find meaning and purpose in my work as a therapist and strive to help my clients enliven their potential and live a life that they value. I aspire to create an environment that will allow my clients to gain greater understanding/clarity, acceptance, courage, hope, balance, and serenity.

Do the activities of your daily life overwhelm you or do you often wonder what's wrong with me? Are you unhappy and often feel stressed out? We all come into the world with a unique personality and perspective. But life experiences often shape both how we feel about ourselves and how successfully we are able to navigate through life. In my approach as a therapist I am highly engaged and responsive, and also have a deep toolkit of strategies and techniques that work in helping maintain balanced thinking, positive mental health and an increased sense of well-being.

If you suffer from OCD, uncontrollable worry, anxiety, or panic attacks, you might feel like your symptoms control you and you are powerless to stop them. Your intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or worries may be having a negative impact on your relationships at home, work, or school. Having OCD can be debilitating and is often misunderstood - even by medical doctors and therapists. There is hope! Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are effective treatments for these conditions.

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them find greater fulfillment within the various aspects of their lives, whether it's their sense of self, interpersonal relationships, or professional life. A strong therapeutic relationship has the ability to heal, to empower, and to initiate lasting change. It can help guide you through life's challenges so that you emerge stronger and wiser. I work with adults, couples and adolescents, many of whom seek therapy simply because they are feeling "stressed out" or "not as happy" as they'd like, while others may be experiencing more significant symptoms of depression and anxiety.

When you first started dating, it was all laughs, flowers, and romantic nights out together. Now your Saturday nights revolve around watching TV while you each scroll through your cell phones. You haven’t exchanged more than a few glances and the only discussion today revolved around carpool schedules and reminders to buy more milk tomorrow. You didn’t know it was possible to feel lonely while not technically being alone. You try to practice gratitude and remind yourself that things are ok, but deep down you know that your relationship could be so much more. You want to feel appreciated, connected, and lit up again.

Pursuing counseling can be an intimidating or overwhelming process at times. It may be concern of the unknown or maybe you have not had a positive experience with counseling previously. Seeking support is a courageous act and one grounded in strength. I use humor and a down-to-earth approach to build a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship designed to support you throughout. I focus on issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, stress management and self-esteem.

My ideal client is ready to reflect and change for the better. I enjoy helping clients learn to discover their own power to change their circumstances in life. Every person has power in themselves, but sometimes it takes a little guidance to find it and use it. I also am passionate about exploring how the relationships of our past are actively affecting our choices today, and how we can use those experiences for the better. Through this process, we uncover past hurts and learn to forgive, accept, and love the parts of us that are hurting.

Another day with anxiety. Racing thoughts, tight chest, can’t breathe, with emotions all over the place. You want more from life – healthy relationships, hitting goals, and to make a difference – but you can’t figure out how to get there. You feel the anxiety, but it doesn’t make sense – life seems fine. It pops up out of nowhere – when you’re getting dressed in the morning or out on a date. You’re frustrated, trying to push past it but that only makes it worse. You see other people with loving and committed partners, great family relationships, or thriving friendships, and don’t think that will ever be you. Is it even possible?

In our busy and stress filled days, the intense feelings generated by everyday life, childhood neglect or abuse, life transitions, separation/divorce and loss of a loved one often turn our busy world upside down. It is in the midst of these life events I have found my calling and work. You are not alone! Many others have journeyed the path of anxiety, despair, fear, loneliness and, yes depression to a place of hope and freedom and joy.

I believe life is a journey, not a destination. Life is a gift. Due to uncertainties, hardships, and even joy, the road on our journey of life is not always smooth. Throughout our travel, we encounter challenges which test our strength, courage, faith, and alliances. I embrace the challenges, examine strengths, as well as give permission to experience the deviations. I value and respect the uniqueness everyone possess. I will work with you to explore healthy ways to manage the stressors along the journey to improve your quality of life. I subscribe to the belief "there are no problems only solutions".
