Are you a woman struggling with depression, anxiety, work or relationship conflict, pregnancy, postpartum stress or parenting issues? If so, please know that you are not alone. And that it doesn't have to be this hard forever. Together we can help you listen to your instincts, find your own voice, and create the changes you desire in your life. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I use my skills and expertise gathered from my work over the last 20 years--combined with personal experience as a woman, spouse and mother--to help you examine and change the situation with which you are struggling.

I am committed to working with people who want to get to the root of their emotional distress and life suffering. In-depth psychotherapy helps us to grow our capacity to fully experience all of our feelings. Learning how to put our thoughts and feelings into words helps us get our emotional needs met. Exploring painful experiences is often a very difficult and lonely process. That is why talking with a well-trained psychotherapist can be helpful to facilitate our understanding of why we feel the way we do. Out of this fundamental understanding of ourselves arises authentic forgiveness and compassion.

When we can speak openly and honestly in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we can discover the inner strength and flexibility needed for deep and lasting change. Please do not hesitate to call me to schedule a free consult to learn more.

I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real-life difficulties. With a compassionate therapeutic approach of guidance and direction, you can reach your goals and live the life you desire.
I work with individuals, couples and families and am very diverse in my framework and integrative in my theory. Supporting people as they begin to untangle those intricate parts of themselves, and identify how to manage their relationships is key in the therapy session. As a Psychotherapist I find it rewarding to work with clients that are motivated in seeking help to understand parts of themselves and their relationships, while mindfully exploring value-driven goals. I believe in recognizing multiple paths of potential interventions such as, respecting each family member's orientation, affect, role and interactional patterns. I create a treatment plan with individuals by understanding how a person relates to others in the family system based on patterns in generational relationships, IE. (family or origin). Family history taking is key. I include a a safe environment where you can heal emotional wounds and experience harmony.

I have practiced with a wide variety of populations and modalities of therapy over the past five years. My clientele has ranged from children(ages 4-17), adults, juveniles coming out of the court system returning to their families, couples, families, and both adult and adolescent substance abusers.

The therapy process can help you to develop a deeper connection to your true feelings, more authentic communication, healthier and more satisfying relationships, a clearer path through life, and an increased sense of being more "yourself". I take an eclectic approach, using talk therapy, play, insight into family relationships, and exploring beliefs developed in childhood and how they influence your current patterns and choices.
