You might be facing common challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties. You hold a desire for growth but need a safe, non-judgmental space to express yourself, receive validation and learn tools to manage your symptoms. Your goals may include reducing immediate distress, processing past traumas, increasing motivation and developing healthier coping skills. You want a place you can show up to feel heard and understood, with a therapist that you can laugh and cry with comfortably. More than anything, you want to walk out of sessions feeling lighter than you felt coming in and luckily - that’s possible!

With couples, I specialize in the Gottman Method and assist you and your partner in building a deeper understanding of both self and couple.
Fortunately and unfortunately, there is no road map to our lives, and the unknown is both beautiful and terrifying. I work with you to create a version of a road map, a better understanding of yourself, goals, past experiences, insecurities and road blocks, in an effort to make you feel excited about the unknown rather than fearful. If you are seeking individual therapy the roadmap may include exploring unhealthy thought patterns, navigating loneliness or finding tools to tackle anxiety. If you and your partner are looking for support, the road map will help to identify points of conflict & strengthen communication skills.

Welcome! As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have been helping individuals and couples overcome obstacles to achieving happiness and contentment for over 30 years. Sometimes the issues can seem insurmountable when it's really the way one is trying to cope with them that is the problem. That way of thinking can often be adjusted and can make all the difference! Whether you're experiencing a situational adjustment related issue or a more longstanding one as an individual or couple with depression, excessive stress, anxiety or anger, help yourself by making an appointment and get started.

I believe that building a therapeutic relationship, rooted in trust and understanding of the issues, will allow you to develop coping skills; strengthen your resilience; and enhance your mental capacity to identify triggers and implement techniques to sustain change.
Life’s challenges may cause us to react and respond in many different ways. Our current situation may or may not be in our immediate control, but when we look at our life, long-term, it will be the decisions that we make today that set the course of the overall outcome. Experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, confusion, and frustration (to name a few) may be a part of that journey, but you do not have to go down that road alone. It's important to have a safe and confidential space to work through challenges, become more resilient, and come out on the other side with confidence and skills to manage the situations you face.
