Please e-mail, to be placed on waitlist. After 15 years working with community-based, non-profit agencies in multiple roles as well as about 20 years working with vulnerable youth, I am happily dedicated to private practice care. My practice is centered around whole-person treatment. Together, we will explore root causes to your symptoms, the narrative of your family system, process old trauma and develop healthy coping skills to manage your symptoms. Trauma, OCD, Generalized Anxiety and Codependency Treatment, are my primary specialties, and I look forward to learning about and helping you identify your unique goals for therapy. I find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Trauma-Focused CBT as well as Short-term, Solution Focused Therapy, are efficient in the goal-setting process for most clients. I also use Narrative Therapy and Depression Treatment Quality Improvement (DTQI) methods to support reducing Depression. Treatment is not one-size fits all. My approach is to hold empathy, compassion and work from the stance that everyone can grow into the person they want to be. I do my best to be real and infuse humor in my style of therapy. I believe in humility and appropriate self-disclosure, but the focus is always on you! If you would like a free-consult, please e-mail for the fastest response!

Existing can be difficult. Tolerating the pressures of personal and societal histories can leave you feeling stuck; add figuring out meaning and purpose of life, and things get overwhelming.

AUTHENTICITY, ALIVENESS, and CONNECTION are vital ingredients to living a healthy and meaningful life. Unfortunately these qualities do not always receive the proper attention needed to thrive. As a result, we develop coping strategies that often lead us to not getting what we want in life, leaving us feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, and hopeless. Therapy provides a unique opportunity to explore the unconscious patterns that keep us stuck. Therapy can help you make meaningful change to live the life you wish and to create the relationships you long for. I help individuals, couples, adolescents and families create necessary and meaningful changes in their lives, relationships, or with family members. Whether you are feeling stuck in your own life, or with your intimate partner/marriage, or navigating challenging dynamics with your family, I can support you to engage authentic and meaningful change. Each session is customized to support whatever needs arise in each session. I practice integrating a number of evidence based practices with attunement and empathy. I understand everyone has a plethora of different contexts--race, gender, sexuality, class, etc, that shape who we are and how we experience ourself and the world. I hold this with respect.

Collaboratively we can build resiliency as we discover and heal the obstacles that interfere with you having a deeper, more meaningful life. I enjoy working with both couples and individuals who are grappling with a variety of life challenges; life changes, including health issues, career goals, trauma, loss, anxiety or mood disorders.

And even if I'm not who you're looking for, I sincerely hope you're able to conquer the challenges in your life.

We'll talk about where you are now and where you'd like to be and then work together to bridge the gap. While we collaborate, I'll do everything I can to provide a safe space in which you can be your true self. Something I have learned during this time is that it's okay not to be okay. No one should have to hide their experiences or feel lesser for them. I encourage you to reach out so we can talk about this.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Authenticity and trust are the foundation of that process, so it's important to find someone you feel comfortable working with. Uncovering your inner strength and actuating your emotional intelligence begins with exploration of the psychic house you live in. I help people with anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, racial and gender anxiety, substance abuse, and career transition. In addition to training, I bring the perspective of someone who has dealt with many of these challenges in my own life. I also have a three-decade background working with the creative community that has attuned me to the unique obstacles faced by artists. Please feel free contact me anytime. I look forward to answering any questions you may have about the way I work or therapy in general. Don’t worry about pronouncing my last name properly.

A person usually comes to therapy because they find themselves stuck in some way; perhaps an emotion that keeps surfacing, an addiction, or finding themselves in the same type of relationship or conflict over and over. Tired of same painful repetitions, yet unsure what to do to create change. I see my role as a therapist as assisting you in figuring out what’s getting in your way from making the changes you’d like to see. I facilitate a process through which you can create a more interconnected understanding of the different parts of your life and self. Such explorations can have a big impact on how a person feels and promote new ways of being in the world. What does this look like? A conversation. A space where you can talk about anything you'd like. We'll identify themes, patterns and experiences that are tied to the issues you’d like to work on, noticing the many—often surprising—places their effects show up and can covertly guide your day-to-day life.

My approach in therapy is to build a connection with you to be able to uncover a deeper sense of awareness, challenge core beliefs from childhood/adulthood, and motivate you to work towards healing. I challenge my clients to create goals that will have a meaningful and positive impact in their lives. Although therapy can sometimes be short lived, I want to be able to provide you with the tools necessary that will allow you to manage your symptoms (I.e., anxiety, depression, ADHD, a mood disorder, trauma, substance use issues, adjusting to a new chapter in your life, relationship issues), and increase a more joyful life. My goal is to assist people in filling that gap of uncertainty and increase their self-awareness. I have worked with a variety of people from different backgrounds, ages, ethnicity, race, gender, etc. to better serve my clients. I have made it my goal to dedicate my time to get to know you and ensure that your needs are being met using my skill set.
