I work with men, women and teens to help them face the challenges and frustrations that all of us experience in our daily lives.  I also have a strong interest in and follow a psychodynamic approach to my work with individuals and couples.  

The challenges we face often involve relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, a sense of hopelessness, anger, and trauma. Many of my clients come in feeling burdened by the belief that that they are not getting the respect, dignity, or love that they want and need. 

My clients are typically seeking to improve their lives and find more satisfaction in their relationships. They want to feel more at ease with themselves, connect more deeply with family and partners, and experience personal growth.  Some come to me after working with other therapists but still feeling stuck, frustrated or unsupported.  They may face ongoing struggles in relationships, experience emotional distress, or have never dealt with the trauma that they experienced in their lives.

I know that a positive, supportive therapeutic relationship can foster healing, provide clarity, and offer the validation they have not experienced earlier in life. I offer direct, focused and affirming support.  My clients gain practical tools for managing anxiety and panic attacks, learn communication strategies that transform confrontation into positive experiences, and work toward nurturing healthier relationships. I help clients make meaningful changes in their lives.  As they build confidence and enhance self-awareness, they often notice deeper emotional connections, fewer trauma-related symptoms, and a reinforced sense of self.

My approach is eclectic and uniquely tailored to each individual. I draw upon evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy, while incorporating parts of IFS, ACT and psychodynamic theory.  I offer a Humanistic perspective toward my clients. This combination helps clients reduce anxiety and trauma, cultivate self-awareness, strengthen personal boundaries, and achieve lasting, meaningful change.
