I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

- Online Therapy Details: I offer online therapy using the Simple Practice platform, which is HIPPA compliant.
I was trained from a psychodynamic perspective and believe that who we become is deeply rooted in our biology as well as the systems from which we were raised, though I also strongly believe that with insight and self-exploration, we can create different neural pathways from which to engage with ourselves and others. Relationships are central to all of our lives, with self, family, friends, coworkers, relatives, partners, and spouses and provide us the fuel to help power a life worth living. We are all searching, I find, for the relationships and jobs or careers that are most suited to us becoming our best self, yet we often struggle with patterns from the past that can trip us up, such as family dysfunction, family addiction, low self-esteem, enabling, tolerating less than we feel we deserve, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, abuse, difficulty advocating for ourself, avoidance of conflict, and prior trauma -- all of which can undermine our health, contentment, and well-being. Therapy is a powerful means through which we can work through these complexities and cultivate happiness on the other side. I respect that it takes courage to get there and trust to build a connection with a therapist who listens to you, gently challenges your story and perceptions, and helps you build your coping skills so that you are better able to foster self-love, forgiveness, and health.
