I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar, depressive and anxiety disorders), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD. My niche is in personality disorders (e.g., borderline and narcissistic PD). I have extensive experience treating trauma sequelas, dissociative disorders and helping individuals overcome grief. My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

Each person is unique and therapy should be tailored to suit the individual seeking assistance. I work in a way to help each person determine the goal of therapy and we work together to achieve it. Although we all face challenges, everyone has strengths. I believe in tapping into these strengths and positive experiences to move past these obstacles in order to help the client achieve his/her best self.

Hi there! Building a strong, therapeutic relationship is an important part of this process. I work collaboratively with patients to build trust, have fun when it's appropriate, find helpful coping skills, and unpack experiences at your pace. I show up authentically as myself to build rapport. Creating a space where you can show up as your genuine self as well is my goal. Therapy can be heavy at times, so I love to use humor and sarcasm when it fits the situation.

Talking about our feelings is hard, especially when we are ambivalent or do not know how to feel. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to help you explore those feelings.

Alcohol abuse and drug overdose is on the rise as the United States is facing a worsening substance use crisis. The human mind is a beautiful thing, but the mind is also something that can enslave us. This enslavement sometimes takes the form of an addiction to drugs and alcohol. I am a highly skilled Drug and Alcohol Counselor with over ten years of experience. My mission is to free individuals from the shackles of addiction while joining them on their journey towards reaching their full potential of renewed hope, healing, self-awareness, and acceptance.

The decision to ask for help is not easy and requires courage. Part of the difficulty lies in choosing the right person to work with. All of us want to work with someone who cares, knows how to listen, does not judge, and ultimately is healing and can help in problem solving. In my 20 years of experience, I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, families and couples. I enjoy this population enormously. My biggest strength is my empathy. My clients feel safe with me; they know I am an invested therapist and that I truly care. I am passionate about love, compassion and equality. I create peace every day.

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many of us experience that journey as compromised by obstacles that threaten to rob us of our joy. These blockages may come from events in the present, such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed. I have been engaged in clinical work for 41 years, helping people navigate difficulties, heal trauma, restore their lives to wholeness.

To those around you, you are a loving, caring, strong, supportive mother. But inside you are dealing with anxiety, overwhelm, and fluctuating moods. Perhaps a past traumatic experience continues to live in your present, or maybe those around you are noticing a change in you since the birth of your baby. Maybe you are struggling with time management or trying to adjust to your new role and identity. No matter where you are in your journey through motherhood, the time is now to learn that you can be the best version or yourself, not only for yourself but for those you love and who love you.
