Welcome. I apply my 37 plus years of experience to assist adults, adolescents, and children who are seeking happier, better balanced lives. My approach is accepting, hopeful, creative, and sometimes humorous. I use different techniques according to my client's needs, preferences and age. I am influenced by Positive Psychology and Adlerian Psychology. Within this framework, sessions may include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, play, art, and the exploration of existential themes. I use an Adlerian approach to child / family therapy. This approach is the basis of the popular "Positive Discipline" series.

Are you a young adult or teen struggling with life transitions, self esteem, anxiety, or depression? Have you been experiencing stress, burnout, or overwhelm? During teen and young adult years, coping with emotions, relationships, and the pressures of daily life can be particularly challenging. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I help clients navigate teen and young adult issues, while emphasizing mindfulness, connection, the creation of meaning, and holistic well-being. I encourage a balance between radical self-compassion and goal-oriented change. I work with both couples and individuals.

**NEW CLIENTS - Please email me** No one deserves to live in pain. For therapy to work, you need three things: curiosity about yourself and your interactions with others, an authentic connection with your therapist, and concrete, practical tools and skills to promote real and lasting change. My job is to facilitate an understanding of what is causing you pain and getting in your way of creating your best life. As your therapist, I don’t “just listen.” I use an integrative approach, combining several modalities to create the most effective treatment for each client. I practice remote therapy with individual adults.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who believes in the resilience of the human spirit. Living in society can seem chaotic and often feeling heard by others may seem impossible, yet we yearn for love and harmony. Too often, we wind up distancing ourselves because it may seem easier, but then the result is feelings of alienation and loneliness. We add to these feelings of loneliness by erecting barriers between ourselves and others which only perpetuate the problem. Therapy can offer a means of releasing energy so that barriers are removed permitting new possibilities for a more content existence.
