It is my privilege to walk alongside you in your journey towards healing and change. I enjoy working with couples and families, as my approach considers our contexts and importance of foundational relationships. I believe that we are products of our environments, relationships, interactions, and cultural contexts. These all play a role in our lives, and it is imperative that we understand how. I will work with you to consider your role and the role that others play on you. My systemic approach seeks to understand and make connections between the individual(s) and other factors.

If you have been struggling for a while with something and unable to resolve it on your own, it’s probably time to consult a therapist. This process can seem really daunting but doesn’t have to. If you feel the need for change in some area of your life and are willing to work for it, you just need a skilled therapist to help you narrate your journey to a happier place. With 30 years of work in community mental health, public schools, and private practice, I have assisted many individuals and families make meaningful changes in their lives. I currently see individual adults and also provide guidance and consultation to parents.

I work with adults and teens facing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, OCD, grief/loss, and significant life transitions. The modern world is full of disruptions, from life changes (divorce, death, marriage, puberty, moving) to career changes (changing jobs, retiring, burnout) to internal changes in personal or spiritual beliefs. Whatever has you feeling disconnected, confused, or off-balance, there are tools that can help you find a foothold — and more than a foothold, you can discover deeper meaning, value, and purpose in your life.

I believe that everyone can benefit from psychotherapy. Utilizing this process can help you to identify, develop, and implement behavioral, emotional, and cognitive change that can allow you to feel more centered and self-confident, and can provide an increased sense of empowerment to address future challenges. I view seeking help through psychotherapy as a sign of strength rather than of weakness. Taking this step often makes one feel anxious, but my experience is that once taken, people usually feel a sense of relief, combined with an increase in hopefulness. In a way, seeking help is the first step on the path to healing.

Whether you’re new to therapy or have prior experiences, we will find approaches that work for YOU to take control of your life. Complexity is my specialty; our problems and experiences don’t exist in a vacuum. Making meaningful, lasting changes to our mental health can be difficult enough without factoring in a person’s experiences. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, boundaries, life stressors, suicidal ideation, intrusive thoughts, or a combination of the above, we will untangle it together.

Let's just get to it. I am here to offer compassion, support, and assistance in navigating issues such as grief/loss, major life transitions, attachment/relationship difficulties, and complex or acute trauma. I prioritize my relationship with you as a client first and foremost, as it is impossible to facilitate healing in an environment that doesn't feel inviting and safe. I inject plenty of humor into our work (when appropriate), and I can also roll up my sleeves and get down to the nitty gritty. In every instance, I strive to provide a warm, secure, and judgement free space for us to work towards your therapeutic goals.

Client's that see me for therapy are navigating intersectional identities and facing challenges with intimacy, relationships, or personal growth. They may struggle with infidelity, disordered eating, attachment or spiritual trauma, or life transitions like divorce or identity shifts. They seek deeper connection, empowerment, and a non-judgmental space to explore their desires, needs, and emotions. Their goal is to reclaim joy, heal relational imbalances, and build self-compassion while finding meaning in their experiences. They want a therapist who respects their unique background and sees healing as a journey, not a quick fix.

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds with topics such as anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues and trauma. I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship between myself and the client, and I work to foster a comfortable space for talking about possibly uncomfortable subjects.

I see adults and adolescents of any age . I see quite a few couples and families to work through marital or parenting problems. Most of my clients are seeking insight about how to approach their problems in new ways, to acquire new understandings which enable them to see possibilities that may have been elusive to them without the added input of an experienced therapist. I have tried to develop a style that focuses on how to help people develop their capacity to tune in more deeply to their own inner awareness and knowledge, to see options that were previously unseen.

During difficult times, the word “unravel” resonates with most of us. As human beings, at some point, we are bound to experience life stressors, trauma events, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, parenting struggles etc. I am aware there is no single therapeutic approach, and a range of flexibility and modalities is key to guide and assist in finding resolution and balance. My great passion is bringing healing to the people who have been through traumatic/stressful experiences and struggling to anchor, reflect and or reset. I believe in meeting clients where they are and in creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
