Clients I serve are typically curious about their wounds - psychological and other. They are interested in examining the connections, complications, and complexes of their inner vs outer self as well as any aspects of themselves they find uncomfortable or distressing. My hope is to serve clients in transforming unknown aspects of their being into opportunities for enduring growth and healing through reworking, reclaiming, reintegrating, and meaning-making.

My primary goal as a therapist is to help you find positive coping skills to further develop your strengths, insights, and joy in every day life. I bring authenticity, humor, and empathy to each and every session in my work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy in session and you’ll always leave with a goal; I want you to continue our work outside of sessions to allow for long-lasting changes as you become the most effective version of yourself.

Life is challenging and you may have worries, sadness, grief, a feeling of frustration in your work or a lack of connection to others. Therapy may seem daunting but it doesn't have to be. It is that very special place where you look at yourself with courage, compassion, and curiosity, without judgment or blame. It is the place to grow, change, to be seen and not alone. You already have the strengths and gifts to draw on, to deal with any challenge or concern, you just need to take the time and effort to do this for yourself.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience dealing with a variety of personal, relational, and performance difficulties in both outpatient and inpatient settings. This depth and breadth of experience provides an excellent background for the short-term solution-focused counseling that is needed and wanted today.

Closed to new referrals at this time. In my 10 years of practice as a psychotherapist, I have worked with people facing many struggles, including surviving past trauma and abuse, feeling suicidal, and severe/chronic mental illness.

Maybe you are reading this because you want something to change in your life. It’s a daring step to reach out to a stranger and trust them. I know therapy can help. It has helped me in my life, and it has helped many of my clients over the years. I offer free consultations with clients before we begin because a good fit is important. Although I have worked in agencies, hospitals and group practices, I think some of my best training has come from navigating a 24 year marriage, raising kids, and launching them into adulthood. I enjoy helping people work through anxiety and depression and get their life back.

From there we explore what their struggles are in their daily lives, the pain that brings them into my office, and typically use insight and a focus on their past conflicts and hurts to bring peace and resolution into their present lives.
