Introduction

Anxiety, depression and stress can become overwhelming at times and often lead to a feeling of being "stuck". Exploring and developing an understanding of yourself, your past experiences, and empowering you to envision a different path for your life are all essential parts of change. Whether you are struggling with relationship issues, grief and loss, life transition, trauma, stifling anxiety or worry, overwhelming sadness or trouble managing your life, you'll find a safe, empathic setting with me. Achieving self-acceptance and self-compassion in your life launches your ability and confidence to take steps toward change. As a compassionate psychologist with 29 years of experience in a warm and supportive setting, building a strong therapeutic relationship is my priority. Approaches include Schema-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), and Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT). As a generalist, I tailor my approach to your needs. Telehealth therapy often enables those with work hour restrictions, child-care issues, or a remote residence to attend therapy sessions. Currently, my practice is online via video exclusively. My clients have found telehealth therapy to be equally as safe and effective as in-person sessions. My day and evening hours provide flexibility for your schedule.
