I offer a positive approach and unconditional presence and provide you with extraordinary service individually personalized to meet your specific situation and needs. From my experience, the process of therapy and coaching works best when we work collaboratively as a team and concentrate on your particular goals. It is essential that you are involved in establishing goals for your coaching and therapy, and that you ultimately make progress toward these goals. As a coach and therapist, I am practical in assisting you to create an action plan that will not merely offer you effective relief from your symptoms, but one that additionally can help you build a new vision for leading a more creative and enjoyable life. As one client said, "Audrey saw me through a point of dire questioning in my life with understanding and compassion. I have since made significant life changes I never would have thought possible...and recommend Audrey to anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and parental concerns."

The choice to begin therapy is a courageous one. I consider it a great privilege to partner with people as they work to improve various aspects of their lives. I provide a safe, empathetic, and warm environment to encourage exploration and personal growth. Everyone entering therapy has a unique set of goals; I work to meet those specific needs and desires through an eclectic approach of interpersonal, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and solution-focused therapy. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, bereavement, PTSD, and substance abuse.

I've been a practicing psychotherapist since 1982 and use an integrative and humanistic approach to problem solving, symptom relief, and relationship repair. I'm trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and over the years have integrated spiritual, behavioral and cognitive techniques. I believe people are entitled to be heard without judgment or criticism. I provide a corrective emotional experience that allows clients to feel fully entitled and free to be assertive, connected, and reach their fullest potential.

Bilingual and Bicultural psychotherapy services for Individuals, Children, Families and Couples.

From a heartfelt place, I mirror back each person's beauty and potential. With intention, attention, skill and humor, I facilitate the process that allows each person to become more of her/his authentic self and to manifest that self into the world.

The clients I work with come from all walks of life, each bringing their own unique set of experiences and needs. I love working with individuals and couples who are open to working as a team, enjoy a good sense of humor, and are open minded about the work we are doing together. I believe that all three of these components are important aspects of what makes our therapeutic relationship successful, so I ensure I bring them into every session and encourage my clients to do the same! I work collaboratively with you to develop goals and strategies that align with your values and what matters to you most. I will provide you with new skills and tools for you to “try on” as we progress in our work together. I value your unique experiences and perspectives and provide an environment where empathy and understanding thrive. Together, we will navigate your journey towards healing, growth, and balance. My favorite session is our very first meeting!

Each crisis in our lives is an opportunity for healing and growth. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ concerns and I work with many heterosexual clients, as well.. My primary approach is relational psychodynamic, meaning I focus on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship to uncover and work on your deeper issues. An interactive and empathic therapist, I offer advice and support when needed, and I share my own experiences when I think they will be helpful. Though I have extensive, in-depth training, I rely greatly on intuition and humor in my work.

I work with clients to create an environment that feels supportive, helpful, and safe. I tailor the therapy experience to each person. Sessions can be whatever you need them to be in that moment. There's no "right" way to do therapy! I treat clients holistically, as I believe that physical, mental, and social health are all connected.
