There is an undeniable urge toward growth, wholeness and healing within each individual. The journey of healing and growth is a unique process for every individual. My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and build on existing strengths. I implement evidence-based treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy as well as a creative approach. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, licensed marriage and family therapist and a Master Level Registered Addiction Specialist. Accompanying you on your journey toward self-individuation is a deep joy and privilege and I look forward to speaking with you.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, confidentiality and obtaining verbal consent. I will share about my therapeutic approaches. We will discuss presenting problems and will attend to the specific challenges you're facing. We will discuss expectations if any, and history of your experience with therapeutic alliances. This will help with creating a tailored plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
I integrate Jungian Psychology, Active Imagination, and Evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.
I specialize in women's issues, mood disorders, grief & loss, and addiction.
I love working with adult and older adult in the area of mood disorder, Eating disorder, substance use, and interpersonal relationships.

I was so impressed with her down to earth approach to my sometimes "extra" issues...she is very eye to eye I didn't feel not one time like she was looking down on me...I believe that she actually cares for clients...she has a good method for dealing with hardheaded people like me...she lets me think all the solutions are my idea....I just can't say enough good things about her!!!!!
