I work with adults struggling with relationships, depression, anxiety, or other disorders, as well as with individuals who are simply looking to create meaningful change in their lives and may be hitting stumbling blocks along the way.

At some point in our adult lives we all come to a place of feeling stuck or trapped, confused, sad or just plain scared of the transitions ahead. Life circumstances can become complicated and threaten to overwhelm. Depression and/or anxiety can compound these moments and leave us  feeling rather without direction or hope. I work with adults in digging their way out of these feelings in order to create space and opportunity for themselves where they previously thought there was none. This transformation is always compelling to me as it often comes with a radiant inner stability that a person can bring with them through their entire lives. It is truly exciting and meaningful work that I am grateful to be able to do.

I am experienced in and very much have a passion for working with parents who are looking to brush up on their parenting skills or work through a challenging developmental stage. I love helping parents to create fulfilling relationships with their kids while providing them the building blocks they need to grow their kids into successful resilient adults. I also have extensive experience in helping parents who are supporting children managing more serious mental health challenges.

I believe that two of the hallmarks of a good therapist are empathy and the recognition of each person’s individuality. My work is rooted in family systems but I utilize psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavior modalities to find the modality that best matches the personality, problems and hopes of each client in order to help them find the relief and growth that they are looking for. It is my belief that  being present for my clients without judgment is a large part of a successful therapy process, and this is the basis of my entire practice no matter what approach we adopt. 

Let’s get together and talk about where you want to be in your life and we will create a treatment plan to get you there.
