Couples
Therapy
As a seasoned therapist, I specialize in guiding children 4+, adolescents, and adults through challenges that can come with anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, divorce, sexual abuse, academic stressors, and family dynamics. My background includes working in an inpatient facility, which has deepened my ability to support individuals facing a wide range of difficult situations. My goal is to help each individual feel cherished, cared for, and safe so that they can experience the assistance and guidance they truly need.
I am trained to utilize EMDR, which is a tool that helps individuals process the emotions of traumatic events. When working with children, I also like to use play and art therapy to help them process complex emotions and make sense of life at their level. Additionally, I employ modalities like CBT, DBT, ART, and mindfulness to address various needs.
My clients find it easy to connect with me and know me to be a safe space where they will feel cared for. With this environment I have created, I have found that parents seeking help for children and adolescents experiencing difficulties in life are particularly drawn to me. I would love to assist you or your child in finding safety and peace.
Therapy often requires a lot of hard work, but I have found plenty of space for laughter and light-heartedness along the way! I work with adults in any stage of life, and have a passion for working with teenagers whether they require someone to listen and help them process their thoughts or need tools and guidance to navigate complex situations. I will always provide validation and support, but I can also deliver direct and honest feedback when necessary. My focus is on understanding where you currently are and where you want to go, without judgment.
I have developed a strong ability to adapt my therapeutic approach to meet my clients' needs. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems to assist clients in tackling a range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and grief. I use EMDR to help address specific challenges stemming from past trauma.
Reaching out for help can be frightening, but I believe your unique experiences are valuable and worth taking that first step. I want to be by your side throughout your healing journey, supporting you as you work towards becoming the best version of yourself. I genuinely look forward to meeting you and hearing your unique life story!
As a Ph.D., (LMFT), I bring over 20 years of experience helping people navigate trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, life transitions, stress/anxiety/depression, & patterns that no longer serve them. Each of us suffers in our own unique way so whether you’re navigating a specific diagnosis or feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, you can expect to be met with compassion, no-judgement, and respect. Your journey will include gaining deeper self-awareness, practical tools for managing your challenges, & gaining a clearer understanding of your emotions & relationships.
Our work together focuses on developing deeper self-awareness, tools to manage challenges, & building a clearer understanding of your emotions, behaviors, & relationships. I use an integrative, eclectic approach that blends many therapies tailored to your individual needs such as IFS, CBT, DBT & psychodynamic therapy to best assist you in your journey.
I'm committed to creating a safe, supportive, & trusting environment where you can process difficulties, reconnect with your authentic self, & move toward greater well-being. If you’re seeking a space to work on your mental health, cultivate healthier patterns, or feel more like yourself again, I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
For 15 years I have focused on providing care to adults and teens by focusing on a client-centered treatment. My goal as your therapist is to assist you in regaining control of the intrusive thoughts associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and conquer the struggles that come with anxiety and depression. I will strive to gain a thorough understanding of your needs and world views as we meet so that together we can explore the why’s to the behaviors & patterns you encounter in relationships or in avoidant behaviors. Therapy will help provide you with the space and tools to learn to enjoy life without fear.
I am experienced in EMDR, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). As a psychologist I have assisted military personnel and police departments in addressing struggles that can occur in their occupations (trauma, PTSD, etc.). I am also experienced in working with OCD, women’s issues such as PMS, PMDD, and postpartum.
I aim to create a safe, welcoming space where you can share openly and feel truly understood. Starting therapy can be daunting, but I'm here to guide you through every step. I believe you deserve a fulfilling life and would be honored to support you on your journey toward understanding yourself and gaining control of your life.
We develop our interpersonal styles when we are very young. Moving into adulthood, people tend to keep doing what they’ve always done – even if it has stopped working. As a result, they may feel depressed, anxious, and blocked from having the rich life experiences that they crave. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with older adolescents and adults who are struggling in relationships – with parents, employers, friends, or intimate partners - and do not know why or what to do about it. My aim is to help people (1) develop an awareness of their interpersonal styles and (2) find ways to make adaptive change in their lives.
I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years of consultation, assessment, and psychotherapy experience. My approach in therapy is broadly psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, although I use evidence-based interventions as warranted.
I am passionate about helping my clients find growth, health, strength, and happiness in relationships and in life. I enjoy helping people work through anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, perfectionism, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ issues.
I collaborate with my clients to identify personalized and unique solutions to create lasting, meaningful change. I have training in a variety of models, including EFT, contemporary gestalt, and EMDR.
I am looking forward to being a part of your journey toward health!
I offer kind, upbeat support to help you work through life’s most difficult challenges. Therapy with me is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel better—not someday, but starting now. I believe the strongest predictors of meaningful change are the relationship you have with your therapist, feeling like we’re a good fit, having hope that things can improve, and being given the right tools to take action. My role is to create a supportive space where you feel understood, encouraged, and empowered, while also providing concrete strategies you can use in your everyday life. Together, we’ll focus on building momentum so change feels possible and sustainable.
I engage deeply in the therapeutic process. I approach counseling in a thoughtful and analytical way, taking time to understand patterns, underlying factors, and individualized strategies that will best support each client. I enjoy working with clients who appreciate a reflective, insight-oriented, and structured approach, including bright and motivated college-aged individuals.
I may be a particularly strong fit for individuals experiencing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as I value evidence-based practices and bring patience, attention to detail, and consistency into my work.
I am passionate about helping clients build skills, deepen self-understanding, and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
I am a professional that most find extremely easy to talk to. I have honed the skill of therapeutic maneuverability which means my clients get what they need in therapy, whether it is someone to listen to them and help process thoughts or to give them tools and help develop skills to be the best possible version of themselves. I am very validating and edifying at times, but I don't sugarcoat what needs to be said. I see the capacity of people without judgement, what is important to me is where you are and where you want to be going. I have skills in working with individuals, couples, and families from all sorts of backgrounds.
I specialize in getting individuals, couples and families unstuck. I help individuals get unstuck from depression, anxiety and help them connect to the world in a more functional, fulfilled way. I help couples get unstuck from the cycle of abuse and impulsive decisions that ruin marriages and families from dysfunctional communication patterns.
We are surrounded by comparisons and judgements that illicit shame and leave us feeling broken and unworthy. In my office you can feel safe and accepted. It is a space of confidentiality, positivity, and growth. I invite you to meet with me to start your journey of accepting your own tremendous capacity to heal, forgive, love, and to honor yourself.
For 20 years I have provided compassionate, expert care to individuals of all ages, couples and families as an integrative cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT). My goal as your therapist is to help you improve what is already working, gain tools for what isn't and reduce pain and suffering immediately. You will consistently leave my office with tools you can implement in your daily life and relationships. I see therapy as an opportunity to slow down the frantic pace of life and explore ways to cope, regain control of life's challenges and rebuild or enrich relationships.
I am competent in both individual and couples therapy. As a trained therapist I help couples work as a team against the enemies of their relationship (addictions, trauma, affairs, etc.). I also effectively help teens, college age and older adults deal with depression, anxiety, family and life transition challenges.
Therapy works when motivation to change meets with expertise and a safe healing relationship. Due to my non-judgmental, individualized and holistic treatment approach my clients routinely say how surprisingly easy it is to open up and talk to me. It would be a privilege to work with you too.
