“I want to feel happier and less depressed.” “We would like to improve our relationship.” “I would like to feel calmer and more in control, in spite of the stress, loss and trauma I have experienced.” “We want to help our children cope with our divorce.” “We need to figure out how we are going to live as a divorced family.” These are some of the most frequent goals of my clients as we work together.

I teach relaxation techniques and review diet and exercise and naturalistic methods before jumping to medication solutions. As a solo practitioner I do better with those that are not in high risk or needing crisis orientation and interventions.

Adding school pressures, deadlines, work, parenting and other responsibilities on top of that can be very overwhelming. Pain and emotions that we have been running from can start to catch up with us, stress and anxiety can climb to a level we have never experienced, and the relationships that we cherish can become strained. As life evolves we can...

You put on a brave face for others saying, "I'm fine", suffer in silence and hope time will make things better. The only emotions that can hurt you are the ones you don't acknowledge. Unanticipated life events, relationship struggles, grief or things you "just cannot identify" cause you to feel anxious, isolated, angry, frightened, disconnected or unworthy. You are simply human, like the rest of us, wanting to feel relaxed, connected, engaged, inspired, confident and valued. I invite you to make...

My practice focuses on assisting emerging adults in navigating their complex world and the issues that are common for them including anxiety, depression, body image issues, and self-harm. I often hear "I feel like I don't know what I'm doing" and therapy can be a place where this feeling is both normalized (who does know what they're doing?!) and to gain more perspective on how to cope with challenges while finding their place in this world. I am trained in a variety of methods including CBT,...
