Do you find it so difficult to focus that it interferes with your work, school, or relationships? Do you become easily distracted and have difficulties being productive? Is it hard to remain organized despite your best efforts? Inattention, impulsivity, and overactivity are three common problems associated with ADHD, which affects about 5% of people. It is much more serious than just having trouble concentrating. ADHD creates significant difficulties, presents barriers to success at work or school, and strains relationships between people with ADHD and those who care about them.

In my work with individuals recovering from addictions, eating disorders, co-dependency and trauma, I assess which modality (individual, group psychotherapy or family therapy) will help my clients achieve their goals most effectively. I work with parents in the areas of attachment, financial literacy, discipline, boundary setting & launching as well as, couples who are struggling with infertility.I believe a therapist actively participates in the relationship, in addition to observing the process and offering expertise.

I understand how overwhelming the process of finding a therapist can be as well as the discouragement felt when your therapist isn’t the right fit. My approach to therapy is down to earth and humanistic. Therefore, I recognize that everyone is having their own authentic and imperfect experience which cannot be judged, and the way I treat every client mirrors that. My core belief is that everyone deserves to be heard, and my clients walk away from sessions feeling seen, heard, and supported. I tell all of my clients that I’m just a regular person, too, and provide realistic and self-compassionate perspectives.

Are addiction, eating disorders, or trauma impacting your ability to live your best life? Do you feel like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, seeing life in a gloomy light? There are various ways people medicate pain and trauma. Perhaps you are drawn to risk and are using drugs or alcohol to the point where it's derailing your life. Food, exercise, money, work, or sex could also be used in a numbing way to help you escape reality. With all this chaos, there's no time to thrive; you're simply trying to survive.

Finding a therapist is a challenging, yet courageous step. Maybe it is hard to find the words to express what is wrong. Or, you have the words but no one to share them with. It can be difficult to trust that someone will understand you. I welcome you to reach out. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, complex trauma, low self-esteem, shame, and struggling with emerging adulthood and identity. I understand the pervasive impact of childhood trauma and complex family dynamics. It is painful to long for connection and to feel unsafe or uneasy in the presence of others.

Therapy is an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth that requires a compassionate and safe therapeutic relationship. I practice from an insight- oriented approach that allows for an increased awareness of past and current relational patterns. Together we will examine these patterns, develop tools, and find ways to respond differently in order to alleviate immediate stress while also creating lasting change.

My primary work is with professional adults, both as individuals and couples. I combine an empathetic and individualized approach that focuses on gaining insight into your thoughts, feelings and behavior, and I use an integrated theoretical style with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral techniques (CBT).

With 22 years of experience, I have dedicated my life to working with children, adolescents, adults, and families overcome obstacles they face in life. I understand the importance of having a safe space in therapy where you can share your story without feeling judged. It is my hope we can work together in partnership to help you discover clarity, find meaning, and shift negative/destructive mindsets to a more positive/productive one. In addition, I believe everyone has their own intrinsic strengths to draw from, which is an essential part of the healing process.

Our world is changing at such a rapid pace. You may feel it's difficult to cope with all these shifts in your life, and to keep up with daily routines. We have all been through a huge upheaval the past several years. Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental place to process some of these challenges? Or maybe you need some tools and resources to help you (or a loved one) manage anxiety, stress or trauma. Maybe your child/tween/teen/20 yr old has become surprisingly disagreeable, spending less time with family, pushing you away. You may notice changes in appearance, or name. Whether sudden or gradual, you may not know how to cope.

Forging your own path comes with so many rewards – but finding your footing isn’t always easy. You’re not afraid of putting in the work to create the life you want, but finding the balance between work, school, family, community, spirituality, modern-life demands and self-care takes it toll. At times the journey starts to feel more like an ordeal and you find yourself struggling. Maybe at times you even question if the path you are on is heading where you want to be.

People enter into therapy for a variety of reasons such as; having experienced a recent or past trauma, struggling with anxiety, depression or a life altering event. Ultimately, we all want to feel better and live more productive lives. I believe that therapy is a collaborative endeavor which takes place in an open and non-judgmental environment. My role is to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, what motivates their behaviors and how they can bring about the desired changes.

More recently, I have shifted my focus from clinical practice to the training of pre-licensed and early career therapists. I very much enjoy mentoring as it gives me the opportunity to share all that I have learned in my two decades of providing psychotherapy.
