I work with women, men and teens to help them face the challenges, anger, frustrations and sadness that all of us can experience in our daily lives.     

The challenges often involve relationships and show up as stress, anxiety, depression, a sense of hopelessness, anger, trauma and sometimes, "imposter" syndrome.  Many of my clients are frustrated and troubled by the belief that they are missing the respect, dignity, or love that they want and need. 

My clients seek 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 earlier in their lives.

I know that providing a positive, supportive therapeutic relationship can foster healing, improve clarity, and offer the validation that they did not redeive earlier in their 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 lead to   healthier relationships. I help clients to make meaningful changes in their lives.  As they build confidence and enhance their self-awareness, they often notice deeper emotional connections, fewer trauma-related symptoms, and a stronger sense of who they are.  Their sadness and fear of failure are replaced by the joy of reaizing they can have what they want in their lives.

My approach is uniquely tailored to each individual. I draw upon evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy, while incorporating parts of other theoretical approaches including psychodynamic theory.  I offer a caring and supportive approach toward my clients. This eclectic combination helps clients reduce anxiety and the impact of trauma, cultivate self-awareness, improve personal boundaries, and achieve lasting, meaningful change.
