Do you often feel that you are not good enough or that other people don't value/respect you? Do you experience sadness, loneliness, guilt or fear? Are you overwhelmed by daily tasks? Have you turned to self-defeating means (addictions, withdrawing, self-abuse, abusive relationships, etc) to cope with these feelings? If so, you are not alone. There is a good chance that the sense of "something missing" you feel comes from childhood issues. Others with these concerns benefit from therapy everyday. Please let me help. I believe that therapy can produce healthy changes. I love being a therapist and understand the risk involved in taking the first steps toward getting help. Contact me today to begin your journey toward a satisfying life! While I am happy to address relationship issues, I do not provide couples therapy. I also do not treat eating disorders.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I will ask questions so that I can get to know you and understand the reason(s) you are coming to therapy. We will discuss your goals for therapy and talk about how we will achieve them.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Through the use of specialized therapies (DBT, EMDR,CBT, etc), I help you develop the ability to manage and express your thoughts and feelings, improve your relationships, get your needs met, extinguish the need for unhealthy behaviors, and develop a sense of internal completeness. My goal is to create a setting where you feel comfortable sharing anything that you need to. I am non-judgmental and open-minded. I want you to feel safe and to know that I will do my best to guide you through therapy.

Has a total understanding of what living with ADHD is all about. Time with her is comfortable, supportive, humorous and nonjudgmental. She’s guided me in learning terrific new behaviors, helped calm my negative self-talk, encourages realizing my strengths and potential, and has helped me face my fears. Working with her has been extraordinarily empowering - how I wish I could have met her 15 years ago when I was first diagnosed.
