Taking that first step towards therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown, especially when you're carrying the heavy weight of stress, grief, trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression. It's natural to feel apprehensive, maybe even fearful, about opening up and seeking help. But let me assure you, you're not alone in this journey. I specialize in walking alongside individuals who are navigating through these complex emotions and experiences. I've seen firsthand the transformative power of therapy—the healing, the growth, the resilience that emerges from even the darkest of places.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to gain a deeper sense of understanding and fulfillment in your life. By exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviors you will begin to develop more self-awareness and self-acceptance. We often find ourselves feeling stuck, unmotivated, anxious or depressed. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain insight, heal from past wounds and work towards your goals in a supportive and collaborative environment. Using a variety of treatment techniques including mindfulness, psychodynamic and evidence based practices, I work collaboratively with you to explore ways to achieve a happier and healthier life.

In my 16 years of working with adults, children, adolescents, I have learned that everyone has incredible resiliency and amazing capacity for growth and change- regardless of the challenges they face. Each of us has their own unique gifts and strengths. As a therapist, it is my job to recognize those innate strengths and build on them in order to address whatever problems you are facing. Therapy can help you learn how to express themselves verbally and develop positive coping skills. For teens, therapy can be a safe place to gain important insights and move towards personal goals.

As a therapist, I sit with my clients while they process the struggles in their lives, and support them as they build upon their strengths with effective strategies for handling difficulties in the future. I strongly believe that therapy is most effective when work is done outside of our sessions- by both the client and myself. In keeping a small caseload, I am better able to allocate my time and energy to meeting the specific needs of my clients through research, education, and interventions tailored to each case. Similarly, I hope my clients will work on their growth during the week by practicing techniques discussed in session.

My expertise is working with couples and individuals who want to improve their communication and resolve conflict harmoniously. Strong emotions such as anger, depression, and anxiety can stymie resolution or reconciliation. Are you both committed to your relationship, but struggling to resolve a conflict or get along? Learning how to process the dynamics in your relationships can empower you to make the changes you desire - including recovery from infidelity. I get excited when I have the opportunity to help couples find connection in the midst of the conflict.

I've been involved in the behavioral health field over 30 years working with children and adults. In that time, I have become acquainted with numerous types of treatment. I've seen many positive responses to these techniques but have also heard clients state how the reality of their lives did not always fit the mold of some approaches. This "fitting a square peg into a round hole" has been an issue for some clients in previous treatment. Though issues people experience can be common to others, they are also specific to the individual. This makes more generalized treatments difficult.
