We live in anxious times, often resulting from the many pressures and questions related to success, failure, finding meaning in our lives and feeling connected to ourselves and others. It is no surprise that at one time or another, we question our capacity for coping well through life’s stressors.

Whether you are going through anxiety, depression, stress, interpersonal conflict, complicated family dynamics, or trauma, I have learned that feeling better begins with building our strengths and resilience. As your partner in this effort, I bring many tried-and-true tools, strategies and resources to help you overcome the obstacles that life throws your way.

I have both professional and lived experience with respect to mental health and navigating complicated life situations and relationships. In developing the ability to manage and understand our thoughts and feelings, we can become empowered to shift the trajectory of our lives toward healthy relationships with ourselves and others.

Our challenges do not define who we are, we define who we are. It is my goal to create a safe and therapeutic environment for you to explore your inner dialogue and discover who you want to be. I specialize in working with families, adolescents, and young adults from diverse backgrounds and help them to build cohesion in the family unit and within themselves.

If you have reached a point in your life where you recognize the need to heal, cope, or overcome personal or relational challenges, I can help. I sincerely welcome the opportunity to see if I would be a good fit for you. I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone consultation.

You may come to therapy wanting to change your life, ready to change several things about yourself or your circumstances. But you may realize that you don’t know where to start.

I look forward to helping along the path as you face your trauma, grief, burnout, anxiety, or depression.

I use a collaborative approach that focuses on your needs and encourages you to actively participate in the direction of your treatment. I work closely with you to make sure that we are working towards your specific therapeutic goals.
