As a psychologist I often hear "no one can help because no one understands!". Sometimes people feel overwhelmed and alone in the pain, fear and uncertainty. When chaos and crises are your daily reality, how do you manage? When you keep thinking about the horrible things that did or could happen, how do you stop? When you don't want to get up in the morning, how do you face the day? Honestly, I don't have all the answers but I have personally seen people find joy despite ongoing sorrow and I have seen tears and smiles coexist. I believe that with the right support, all people can explore how to find a sense of calm within the storm.

I offer individual psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults. I have specialized training in CBT, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy and Play Therapy. I have experience working with people who have a variety of concerns but the most common include: Trauma/PTSD, Chronic Pain, Grief/Loss, Depression and Anxiety.

I will never claim to fully understand what other people are going through, but I promise to listen carefully and try. I am constantly learning from my clients and I get excited each time I witness the creativity and resiliency of people. I absolutely love the puzzle that is "learning how to really LIVE in this life". You don't need to do it alone!
