About Me
Hello! And congratulations on taking the first step toward improved well-being.
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my passion is helping individuals and couples get in touch with their expectations of life and themselves. Working together, we explore causes of unrest, self-judgement and feelings of stagnation.
Whether you are experiencing a highly stressful time in your life or looking to examine long term feelings of dissatisfaction in your internal or external world, I can be a trusted other that helps you move forward and get to the other side.
​
I provide therapy services to a diverse range of clients, working extensively with adults specializing in issues relating to long-term, low-grade anxiety and depression, isolation, relationship dynamics, self-esteem and grief.

Self Esteem
Anxiety is a term that gets thrown around a lot in today’s culture. It relates to symptoms primarily associated with worrying, but the severity of these symptoms can range widely.
I am here to help uncover the roots of your anxiety symptoms (which can include stomach aches, headaches, panic attacks and fatigue) and find ways to reduce the frequency and intensity of your anxious feelings.
​
Long lasting, low-grade depression can reside in highly functional individuals who have come to accept an existence that is somewhat numbed and filled with “things to do.”
Whatever you have identified as your symptoms of depression (i.e. chronic melancholy, an inability to experience highs or lows, feelings of emptiness, a desire to sleep the day away), we can address these issues together and work toward increased feelings of contentment and joy.
How many of us were not affected at some point in our past by negative input about aspects of who we are? It is important and life-changing to learn how to take power away from unhelpful inner voices that work against us reaching our potential.
Self-esteem is something a majority of people have to work at consciously and continually. It is essential that we put effort into recognizing our unique assets.
