My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

As a seasoned clinical social worker, marriage and family therapist and with a passion for working with couples and along with a specialty in sex therapy, my 25 years of experience being with individuals, couples, and families is deeply gratifying personally and professionally. Believing that as human beings we are " hardwired to connect "and protest when we're not being heard, understood or getting our needs met, I am committed to collaboratively working to nurture and strengthen our relationship with ourselves and with others in our lives. The importance of being present, compassionate and providing a safe space is what inspires me to help those struggling with challenges, to change and heal from stress, pain, and trauma, and to repair and enhance relationship bonds.

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.

I help high-functioning adults—especially perfectionists, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals—quiet the noise, clarify their needs, and build a more sustainable way to live. Many of my clients feel like they’re doing everything “right” on paper, but still struggle with anxiety, burnout, relationship uncertainty, or self-doubt. You might be the one everyone relies on, but you feel unsure of your own direction. My style is collaborative, warm, and insight-oriented—I’m here to help you get honest with yourself without spiraling into self-criticism. Whether you're navigating a major life shift or finally giving yourself space to reflect, therapy can help you reconnect with your values, calm your nervous system, and make decisions you actually trust.

People create meaningful change when they feel truly heard and validated. What I love most about being a therapist is having the privilege to be part of that journey—helping clients shift their perspective, face challenges, and reconnect with their sense of worth and potential so they can build a life aligned with their values. While I specialize in anxiety, panic disorders, and OCD, my work also spans a range of other areas, including support for creative professionals and those in the entertainment industry; men’s issues; sex and porn addiction; trauma; body and muscle dysmorphia; and LGBTQIA+ concerns. My foundation is in behavioral therapy, but I take an eclectic, integrative approach that draws on my specialties and certifications in CBT, ACT, ERP, and EMDR. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns, and I tailor our work to meet you exactly where you are in this moment of your life. Feel free to contact me or visit my website if you’d like to learn more and find out my latest availability. We can discuss what brings you to therapy and work out a plan to get you on the path toward leading a more fulfilling life. At present, in-person spaces are currently filled. Only telehealth spaces at present.

I specialize in supporting children, teens, and young adults who are facing anxiety, stress, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral challenges, and major life transitions. My treatment approach utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MCBT), stress management, anger management, and holistic therapy, and with strengths-based, along with creative techniques like art and play, to engage clients who may not respond well to traditional methods. My ideal client is a young person, typically between the ages of 5 and 25, facing anxiety, stress, or emotional regulation difficulties. They may also be navigating major life transitions or experiencing behavioral challenges. Their needs center around gaining practical tools for managing emotions, improving coping skills, and enhancing self-expression. Their goal is to feel more in control, reduce feelings of overwhelm, and build emotional resilience. They want to feel heard, supported, and equipped to handle life's pressures in a way that aligns with their unique strengths and preferences. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate anxiety, stress, behavioral challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, along with creative techniques like art and play to engage clients who may not respond well to traditional methods. I encourage creativity, self-expression, and emotional processing to support personal growth and healing in a way that feels comfortable and effective.

I have supported individuals and familes through using an empathetic and transparent counseling style. I enjoy utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help individuals through their specific therapeutic goals. In my spare time, I eenjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family.

Clients seek my guidance and support for various reasons, but ultimately it comes down to: They want to feel better. This is where I step on board, you no longer walk the walk alone. We figure out what exactly it means to feel better and then how to get there. What is missing that you think will create more happiness? What is currently happening that is impeding you, sinking you, creating an obstacle to lightness or fulfillment? I will ask you thought-provoking questions, offer alternative perspectives (I often hear, "Hmm, I never thought about it that way"), and invest in you, as a person, and the realization of your happiness.

I believe that the innate nature of human beings is to survive and be well, and that varying degrees of life experience and trauma create psychic structures that inhibit that natural process from occurring. My job is to help client's develop compassionate awareness for these structures that are no longer functional in their lives and help them to build tolerance for the underlying feelings being protected by these structures. And ultimately to help client's choose and develop healthier more functional thoughts, feelings and behaviors to expand their well being, life satisfaction and treat themselves with loving kindness.

I enjoy working with children and adolescents to establish a warm therapeutic relationship. My goal is for my clients to not just improve but to thrive so that they can grow and mature to be successful and productive members of society. I enjoy working with parents and teachers to help them better understand their children and students and to foster a more peaceful and productive home and classroom. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband (also a psychologist!) and two young children. I also enjoy reading, exercise, and participating in community events.
