If you are reading this, you have already taken a courageous first step toward growth, change and improving the quality of your life. I see your decision to start therapy as a commitment to yourself to live more consciously, to get to know what matters to you instead of getting stuck on what's expected of you.
I find by exploring both the past and the present, clients are able to recognize life patterns and dynamics which affect their relationships, career, and overall emotional and physical well-being. I believe each person is unique and do not utilize a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Rather, I work with clients in a collaborative manner, and together we establish the direction and pace of our work.

Services
I have 19 years of extensive experience working with patients who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship difficulties, career development, identity confusion and LGBTQ issues.
I work well with survivors of trauma (physical, sexual, emotional) and with clients who have physical symptoms (headaches, sleep disturbance, digestive problems, muscle tension) that are connected to psychological processes (stress, anger, worry, dissociation).In addition to psychotherapy, I teach and practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques and use EMDR (eye movement or other bilateral stimulation) as needed.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond.

Reduced fee services are available on a limited basis and depend upon a person's resources and ability to pay. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Note that most health insurance plans farm out mental health services to other insurance plans for mental health and chemical dependency coverage.
People naturally have the ability to process most of the events we encounter in our lives. In most cases, the brain processes a traumatic or difficult experience so that it can be stored in our "normal" memory. Ideally, we can then recall such memories without feeling highly stressed or retraumatized.
