I provide structured, evidence-based treatment for generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and specific phobias.

Depression can affect anyone, regardless of outward circumstances. For those who feel pressure to appear fine while struggling internally, therapy offers a private outlet for honest self-reflection. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing persistent sadness, low motivation, withdrawal from activities, and difficulty concentrating. Together, we identify the underlying contributors to depression and build a personalized plan that helps restore energy, connection, and purpose.

Healing from sexual abuse requires a therapist who is both experienced and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to seek help. I have extensive training in supporting survivors of sexual trauma, providing a safe and confidential environment to process painful experiences at your own pace. My office offers a discreet, nearby location where you can begin the process of recovery with a therapist who understands the complexity of these experiences.
If you or someone you know is struggling with the aftermath of sexual abuse, know that help is available. To learn more about my approach to sexual abuse therapy, including treatment approaches for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and emotional abuse, please visit Sexual Abuse Therapy.

Trauma can stem from a single overwhelming event or from a pattern of experiences accumulated over time. Whether you are dealing with the effects of an accident, loss, domestic violence, or childhood adversity, I use trauma-informed methods to help you process what happened, reduce distressing symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety. I also work with children and adolescents who have been affected by traumatic events, using age-appropriate therapeutic techniques.

Children face stressors of their own, from academic expectations to navigating social dynamics among peers. I use play therapy, creative expression, and age-appropriate therapeutic techniques to help children identify and communicate their emotions. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, adjusting to family changes, or working through a difficult experience, I provide a nurturing space where they can develop confidence and healthy coping skills.

Adolescence brings a wave of change, and many teens deal with added pressures related to social media, peer comparison, and the desire to meet high expectations. I work with teens to address anxiety, depression, self-image concerns, relationship difficulties, and academic stress. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where your teenager can speak freely and develop the self-awareness and resilience they need to navigate this pivotal time in their lives.

Whether you are working through co-parenting arrangements after a separation, setting boundaries with a strong-willed child, or simply looking to strengthen the connection within your family, parenting therapy can provide the clarity and tools you need. I help parents examine their communication patterns, develop consistent strategies for discipline and encouragement, and build a home environment that supports every family member's emotional health.

Many adults juggle careers, family responsibilities, and social obligations that leave little room for self-care. Over time, unaddressed stress, relationship tensions, or unresolved past experiences can take a significant toll on your wellbeing.
In therapy, I provide a confidential space where you can explore what is holding you back, process difficult emotions, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Whether you are managing anxiety, recovering from a painful experience, going through a divorce, or seeking greater fulfillment in your personal and professional life, I tailor treatment to your specific circumstances and goals.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also support adults navigating challenges in their closest relationships. We can work together to identify patterns of communication that contribute to conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen the bonds that matter most to you.
My approach is collaborative, respectful, and focused on equipping you with skills that extend well beyond our sessions together. If you are ready to invest in your mental health, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
