People have the unending capacity to heal, cope, and change their lives even through life’s most difficult challenges. I have a passion for helping individuals cope and find peace during challenging situations. I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach that is focused on each individual’s strengths and needs. I believe in a holistic approach that considers the mind-body interaction.

I believe within each of us is a powerful energy we can use to expand our lives. In moving beyond our limiting beliefs and the places where we get stuck, we open to our potential. Learning to manage our thoughts and emotions consciously, from a place of alignment with our values, allows us to identify and express the best version of us more consistently. It is just a matter of time before our external world begins reflecting these internal changes.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or struggling with major life changes? You are not alone. I am passionate about helping others and working collaboratively to solve problems. I aim to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients that I meet with. My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and inner child work. I am person-centered and am supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy bringing humor into my sessions.

We are all facing a tremendous amount of stress and uncertainty. Managing our thoughts and emotions alone can feel like an impossibly daunting task. Together we can work towards creating overall wellness and establish routines and habits that allow clients the opportunity to feel able to shift from surviving to thriving.

Are you, or someone you know, feeling anxious and worried more often than not? If so I encourage you to embark on a transformative journey towards a brighter, stronger you! As a therapist specializing in clients aged 10 and above (with special consideration for Tourette's cases), my passion lies in empowering individuals to confront anxiety, face fears, and discover untapped strength within. A good therapist, in my belief, guides clients through understanding their treatment and staying motivated for progress.

I believe that everyone has the tools they need to implement the changes they want. As a therapist, it is my job to help you access these tools through, providing new broader perspectives and understanding how contexts and perspectives may be limiting you. I practice under the theory that relationships work in systemic ways, meaning when one aspect of a relationship is not functioning as it should another aspect will suffer.

Do behavioral issues cause stress in your household? Are you looking for new ways to approach your child’s mental health? Are you a young adult seeking a therapist you can connect with? Is your family struggling to connect in meaningful ways? If you or your child suffer from mental health, behavioral or emotional issues, it can be difficult to just get through the school day. You want to create a harmonious home environment for your child, but even after exhausting every strategy, you still feel disconnected and out of control. Therapy with someone experienced in working with children and families may help.

On our path in life we all go through times of struggle. Sometimes from unresolved past issues or just problems in the present. I believe we can learn to know ourselves and move through difficulties when we have support from a trusted individual with whom we can process. I work in collaboration with clients to build on natural strengths, while addressing barriers to progress, so they can move toward their goals. I work from a wholistic perspective (mind/body) and create an emotionally supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to share their stories and create insight for action and growth.

Are you feeling stuck experiencing intrusive thoughts, hyper-vigilance, nightmares, and other symptoms that often disrupt your daily life? Are you an athlete, first responder, veteran, active duty member or someone who is skeptical about how EMDR can assist you with your mental health? Do you want to decrease anxiety and optimize performance or heal from the impact of witnessing and / or experiencing distress / trauma? As an athlete and first responder, I know first hand how it feels to be stuck by past trauma. Myself and my clients have felt like we cannot perform optimally and confidentially because we are stuck by our past.

I understand the decision to begin therapy can be challenging. I create a safe environment for patients to feel comfortable discussing a range of topics- from romantic relationships, setting boundaries with loved ones, managing anxiety, career moves and so much more. If you are feeling stuck please know you are not alone and we can navigate it together. I use a range of treatment modalities tailored to each individual patient so that you can walk away with tangible coping skills. New patients will need to complete intake forms prior to first appointment. Appointments are within regular business hours Mon-Thurs.

Effective therapy begins with the building of a trusting relationship between therapist and client, and a curiosity on the client’s part about why he or she behaves and feels the way they do. Patients would not come to therapy if they didn’t want a fresh take on how they see themselves and the important people in their world. This is the beginning of a new chapter. It doesn’t happen all at once. And although therapy is not about the therapist, patients have to sense that they know and can trust the person they are talking to.

Do you feel anxious about everything and nothing in particular? Do your emotions overwhelm you? Do you give tons but don’t get much in relationships? It's hard to settle your mind. You spend a lot of time trying to figure out what’s wrong, but you just can't. You work hard to do everything well and on your own because you don’t want to burden anyone. But, you’re exhausted. The truth is that you feel lost & alone, and the emotional load has become too much to carry all on your own.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults, helping them to get through whatever challenges they are facing momentary. Difficulties your child may be dealing with may include: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, low-esteem, peer - or family conflict, as well as issues related to school and/or divorce.

I believe that all individuals struggling with addiction have the ability to change as it is the desire within themselves that leads them to this change. The therapist is simply the vehicle that helps to create a safe environment for this journey to begin, and fosters this change and personal growth. The therapist provides tools and helps the client explore their unhealthy behaviors as well as helping them develop their own recoverty plan. Let me be your guide and help you on your journey to recovery, creating an improved and healthier you.
