You’re not broken — you’re overwhelmed. Maybe by the past, your relationships, or just the pressure of trying to keep it all together. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to explain everything or be perfect. You get to slow down, feel what’s actually going on underneath the surface, and begin making sense of your story. I work with adults, couples, and families who are navigating trauma, emotional dysregulation, addiction recovery, and relationship strain. My approach is grounded in deep listening, emotional safety, and real honesty. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and pain that keep showing up — not just to manage symptoms, but to actually move through them. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, family systems, and somatic work. That means we look at both your past and your present, the emotional and the relational, the mental and the physical. Whether we’re working through anxiety, grief, intimacy issues, or childhood wounds, I’m here to help you reconnect with yourself and others in a more grounded way. This work can be hard. But it’s also liberating. And you don’t have to do it alone.

From social media to financial responsibility, and everything in between, navigating life as a 20- or 30-something in today’s world can be overwhelming. This often leaves many of us wondering where to start or trying to figure out how we got to this place. With all of these things comes stress, anxiety, pressure, and countless challenges. While the world may tell us that figuring all this out on our own is “adulting”, sometimes we simply need support getting through it all. I help people who are struggling to adjust to the changes life creates for them. Whether you are dealing with pressure from society to be at a certain place in life at a particular age, or personal, family, or relationship issues, or work stress, I get it. When working with me, people feel understood and respected. They feel more confident, and ready to conquer their fears. I would love to support you in creating your best life!

My passion is about helping people rediscover the person they were meant to be, to get back on the path to reaching their goals and living their heart's desire. I often ask my clients, what would you do with your time if you had $20 million? Most people don't come to therapy with this in mind, but I find that it helps to have a positive vision for how you could enjoy life, once you have healed from what you came to therapy for. Calling a therapist can be a difficult step, but one that you won't regret if you find a person that you can relate to. I will give you the chance to ask questions or just chat a little on the phone if you need that to get a sense of me. Then, if you take the next step of coming for a first session, we can get to know each other further. I create a safe and comforting space for healing. I work with you to build a collaborative relationship, finding the best pathway to your well-being. I offer genuine caring, empathy, and non-judgment. Clients tell me I'm warm, easy to talk to, and down to earth. Practicing since 1992, I call upon a variety of treatment approaches, depending on what you need and prefer. In general, I have a psychodynamic, relational approach combined with CBT and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I have done advanced training in EMDR for 15 years and have used this technique to help people quickly heal from trauma and other upsetting experiences. I have also had great results helping people heal from addictions of all kinds. My work is enhanced by 25 years of mindfulness meditation. I provide therapy for depression and anxiety, social anxiety, panic, abuse, trauma, PTSD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), all kinds of addictions and substance abuse, grief and loss issues. I do family therapy and couples counseling. I help couples with many different problems, at every stage of the relationship, from early and premarital counseling, to healthy break ups and co-parenting mediation. We work on communication, intimacy enhancement, sexual problems, rebuilding trust after affairs, swinging, or polyamory, extended family conflicts and step parenting issues. My clients report leaving therapy feeling a renewed sense of hope about their relationships and they have tools to continue improving their lives.

I am a strong believer in individuality and I treat my clients as such. Your treatment is yours and is tailored to meet your needs. I provide a safe environment with clear structure for my clients to address their issues. I often utilize Rapid Reduction Techniqe(R),Incorporation Therapy(R) and Hypnotherapy along with many other treatment approaches. I specialize in issues related to Trauma, Abuse, PTSD, Acute Stress Reaction, Dissociation, Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, Military and other First Responders. In addition, I work with clients who are dealing with pain and grief & Loss.

I offer affordable counseling, educational and consulting service that provides assistance in coping with, and learning from, the crises and challenges we face in living. The counseling I offer is solution-focused and brief when possible, but I also am skilled in offering assistance to those who need assistance for a longer period of time. I believe that a client and a counselor have a working partnership. I want to help you define what you want to change in your life, and to help facilitate the work that you will do to bring about that change. Counseling, is in large part, an educational process: education is essential for any change to take place. I believe that each of us has, within us, the capacity to grow and heal. And so, I see my part as one who wants to help you find those resources within yourself. Please be aware that it is impossible to guarantee that you will reach all of your counseling goals. It is my guarantee that I will do everything within my power to see that you achieve as much as you can through our work together. Change is much more likely when you are actively involved in the process. To facilitate this process, I will often give assignments for you to complete between our visits together. And I always encourage my clients to do reading about their own particular problem or situation. It is likely that you will see some initial rapid improvement. Permanent change takes time and a continuing commitment to effort on your part. My approach is aimed at helping you begin to meet your goals in a brief period of time and my techniques are typically solution-oriented. Sometimes, problems are of such a nature that a longer process aimed at gaining insight into the behavior dynamics and their cause, is also needed. We will discuss what I propose, and come to an agreement as to what will be the best approach. Initially, I will listen and ask questions so that I may understand the nature of the current problem. I will also ask you some questions about your past, and gather other information about your current situation, so that I may get a more global sense of the problem. I will help you set some goals for our work together by the second or third time you see me. We will need to agree on the focus of our work together as well as any methods I choose to use. We will also estimate the time it should take to reach these goals so that you may be aware of the time as well as the cost involved. We will then come to an agreement on a plan to which we will both adhere. After an agreed number of sessions, we will evaluate our progress and make any needed modifications to our plan. Techniques that I typically employ include actively listening to what you have to say and checking my understanding of it as we go along. I commonly use strategies from a therapeutic approach known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. For counseling that is aimed at gaining a deeper insight, I use a variety of techniques from the psychodynamic school of thought, especially the theory of Carl Jung. When I work with relationship issues, I use strategies that are a combination derived from the work of Harville Hendrix (Imago Therapy) and John Gottman. For parents seeking help with parenting issues, I use an educative approach which draws on many sources. I may ask you to see a physician for a physical examination, so that we may be more certain that some physical ailment is not part of the problem. I encourage you to ask me any questions about my techniques that will help you understand and feel more comfortable.

My approach is grounded in compassion, safety, and real, lasting change. Before we dive into the deeper work, we’ll begin by creating a foundation of calm, healthy self-care, and practical coping tools. Feeling safe and supported is essential—and that’s where we start. Once you feel more secure and grounded, we’ll begin to explore how past pain may be showing up in your present life and relationships. Together, we’ll unpack that emotional baggage, make sense of it, and organize it in a way that no longer feels overwhelming. While the pain may not fully disappear, it will lose its power to control you. You don’t have to carry it all alone. As things begin to make sense, space opens up for real healing and meaningful change.

Welcome! For many people, our sense of well-being and happiness as an individual can feel difficult to find at times. I am committed to helping people find their "best self" through supportive and focused counseling sessions. Using a person's unique strengths, recognizing their wants and needs, and focusing on self-care and coping strategies are helpful elements of my counseling sessions. I enjoy working with people who would like to make changes such as reducing anxiety and worry, and removing obstacles to success, whether they are present-day struggles or things from the past that "weigh us down." Everyone deserves a chance to be heard and to improve their daily life!

As a warm and person-centered therapist, I believe in partnership with a client to meet them where they are and work towards their goals together.

I specialize in life transitions, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and navigating life stressors, as well as other mental and behavioral concerns.

Perhaps you are at that point where you think, “Shit, I should probably find a therapist.” Now you’re here, scrolling through all these therapists, studying their faces and imagining how you’ll feel around them, how awkward that first session will be. And yet, you’re willing to take the plunge. You’re tired of trying to think your way out of anxiety, only to find yourself even more preoccupied. You feel isolated and reluctant to share about it because others have minimized your experiences, because “what do you have to be anxious about?” Working with me, you’ll find a safe and supportive space to explore your feelings and experiences without judgment. My aim is to share effective tools to manage your symptoms and help you become conscious of patterns that are holding you back. Together, we will build upon your strengths- trust me, you have them- and create strategies to help you recognize when you are getting in your own way. If and when you're ready, please submit your request here on GoodTherapy. You can also learn more about me and my approach by visiting my website, linked in this profile. I currently offer sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 9 AM to 5 PM, with immediate openings available both virtually and in person. I look forward to hearing from you!
