Welcome- I am so glad you're here! As a clinical social worker, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals across the lifespan navigate life's challenges and work toward improved well-being. It would be my honor to help you along your journey too.

Whether it be anxiety, self-esteem concerns, interpersonal conflicts, or life transitions, therapy can help. My goal is to help you address the things that are holding you back from being your truest self and living the life you dream of.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in working with adolescents, their families, and young adults. Ultimately I meet you where you are. This may include focusing on skill building and coping, processing past and current experiences, problem solving, or being creative.

I believe in helping all age groups actualize their potential and goals. Utilizing empathy and therapeutic listening, this is a safe space to explore various life dynamics and how they impact your life. I specialize in helping people with a broad array of symptoms including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and many other topics that cause distress or difficulty.

As a seasoned psychotherapist for over 18 years, and as a director of several mental health agencies, my goal is to provide a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship to meet the unique needs of each client. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate, space for my clients. Supporting and assisting my clients on their journey to lead a more productive and positive lifestyle.

I am committed to helping clients achieve a richer sense of self and to develop more fulfilling relationships through a supportive and nurturing environment. Ultimately, providing a path to independence, resilience and a more meaningful life.

My role is to help my clients gain clarity by utilizing effective coping strategies and building the tools necessary to cope with and navigate life’s challenges.

I offer a wide range of services to help individuals overcome anxiety, addiction, anger management issues, attachment issues, depression, stress management , phobias and unresolved trauma.

I believe that people are shaped by their relationships and life experiences. I work to create a trusting relationship where we can explore your difficulties and improve your life. Many of the people I work with are quite thoughtful and accomplished but they are not happy. They feel that they could benefit from personal inquiry into the problems of living that they are experiencing. Having complex emotions and struggles is normal. It is an aspect of life. But it’s best not to live with it all alone. We need to express our grief, confusion and fear, and we need someone to listen, to respond and to empathize.

I am an engaging, down to earth therapist with over 35 years experience. I work within several psychotherapeutic modalities that I adapt depending on my client’s needs and character, including psychoanalytic therapy, interpersonal and relational psychotherapy and cognitive/behavioral therapy.

Psychotherapy is a place where it is ok to have your feelings- whatever, as confused, painful or overwhelming as they are. But it’s best not to live with it all alone- it’s best to talk about it, to share it with an ally who can help you to figure it out, move on, and build a happy, productive and enjoyable life. That’s what psychotherapy is all about.

I have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.
