I work with adults struggling to navigate anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and times of significant life stress and transition, looking to discover their identities and a sense of meaning and purpose. I also provide strengths-based neuropsychological evaluations to enable my clients to develop an in-depth understanding of how their thinking abilities, emotions, and behaviors impact daily functioning, and to promote healthy insight, growth, and positive outcomes.

Life today can be overwhelming. Anxiety, stress, and self-doubt accompany many of us as we try to figure out who we are, and who we are trying to become. Trauma, grief, and loss are part of many people’s lives. It can be easy to lose our way. Fortunately, there are ways that we can regain our footing, find meaning in our lives, and develop healthy ways to cope with all of the challenges that come our way. This is the focus of my psychotherapy work. My practice specializes in working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, family conflict, and relationship difficulties.

Psychological assessment can provide valuable information for individuals seeking to gain information about their social/emotional, behavioral, intellectual, and academic/work functioning. Individuals may seek out psychological assessments for self-exploration, to gain a better understanding of their abilities and patterns of interacting with the world, and to help understand personality traits. Testing can also be used help determine a diagnosis, guide treatment, and offer recommendations to improve overall psychological functioning.

We are convinced we have a problem. We're focused on it, worried about it, and it often feels like it defines us. These problems tend to show up or worsen during life and relationship transitions. Attending to what isn't working, as well as being intentional about addressing these problems, is necessary for change. Easily overlooked though, are the jewels - the opportunities hiding behind those problems. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for growth opportunities - offering compassion to those parts of ourselves we don't like or shame us, while allowing for the fluidity, flexibility and movement required for transformations.

In my work with adults, children and teenagers, I focus on their strengths and encourage them to think beyond difficulties and identify achievable goals. I coach parents skills to better communicate with their children and become "safely unpredictable," particularly as many children (if not all) become experts in how to push their parents buttons! I have been told by many of my clients over the past 18 years that my warm and directive, confident approach has been most helpful. Many children and teenagers referred to my practice have been in therapy before, with limited success.

Approaching therapy can be very scary and may feel like just another thing on your to do list. You may feel apprehensive about sharing intimate details of your life with a complete stranger or perhaps therapy isn't your first rodeo at all and you're seeking something specific. No matter the need, I believe therapy is for everyone. The difference between therapy and a friend is 1. You pay a considerable amount of money, give dedicated time to your concerns, have peace and quiet, and resources ready for you to grab at your own leisure instead of someone else telling you the shoulda, coulda, woulda's.
