I have been a practicing psychotherapist for more than thirty years and work with couples, families, and individuals 18 years old and up. My areas of specialty are addiction, alcohol use, anxiety, anger management, behavioral issues, and many more. I use various modalities: Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Existential, Exposure Response Prevention, Schema Therapy, Interpersonal, Marital, and Family Therapy. At times this can appear to be difficult, but it is much more difficult to avoid our problems.

My ideal client is introspective and motivated to achieve deeper self-understanding. I believe that acknowledging the impact of early childhood experiences and relational patterns on our mental health is fundamental to effective therapy. My ideal client isn’t simply seeking a “quick fix” but is willing to delve into the deeper, often unconscious, aspects of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They are open-minded and willing to consider new interpretations and perspectives about themselves and their challenges. They are committed to a collaborative therapeutic journey and understand that meaningful change takes time & effort.

Humans are relational. This means we are wired to be loved and accepted by those around us. We live among imperfect people, however, so our experience sometimes becomes hurt from unmet needs. The results then become unproductive patterns in our relationships, negative behaviors, a lack of positivity, and a sense of being stuck. For me, the goal of counseling is to heal past hurts and to process how those hurts affect our current choices and relationships. Once we free ourselves from the hurt, anger, guilt and shame of the past, we are open to feel love and to love others.

If you are someone struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, chronic health issues, addiction, trauma (shock, complex and/or attachment trauma), and/or having a hard time living life to its fullest, and you want a safe place to learn, grow and heal, I might be able to help. Sometimes talk therapy alone is enough to resolve whatever ails you, but when there is chronic stress or trauma that has persisted in the mind/body for a prolonged period, therapies that take a "bottom up" approach can have more of a lasting impact.

Hi, if you're like many of my clients, you're hoping to find a therapist who has worked with your kind of worries before, will listen without passing judgement and can offer a safe place to process as well as get some concrete tools to help you feel better. My clients often describe struggling with communication or compromise in relationships, hurting from a big loss, frustration with their kid's problems, feeling anxious, or having a hard time at work. Most of my clients want a therapist who is warm, authentic, can explain the "why" behind their "what" and is willing to engage, not just observe.

You deserve therapy. A space dedicated to you and your growth. Sometimes we find ourselves not feeling like anything is wrong, but more so feeling like nothing is really right. We feel stuck, isolated and like no matter how hard we try we aren't living the life we imagined. If that is you, I would love to work with you. My favorite piece of therapy is unsticking ourselves from our emotions and experiences, learning how to live in the here and now, and beginning to thrive, not just survive in our lives.
