“The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard.” -Carol Gilligan
Whether you are feeling down, anxious, scared, shameful, confused, or lonely, therapy can be a pathway to relief. As your therapist, my goal is to guide, support, and empower your voice in a judgment-free environment. I strive to support you in defining and attaining your goals. Treatment typically evolves from assessment, so I urge you to take the first step: Give me a call and see how we can get started.

I specialize in treatment for individuals, couples, groups and families.
Specialized types of treatment involve: Women who are survivors of trauma, relationship issues/couples counseling, and stresses experienced by sexual, religious, cultural, and ethnic minorities. I also specialize in treatment for depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
My theoretical practices include Object Relations, Feminist, and Narrative Theories. The theories that inform my work are inherently client-centered. While theory is a strong interest, I believe listening to the client is essential in creating trust and a safe place to grow.
