Starting the healing process is challenging and takes courage. Within all of us is a drive or desire to become whole, happy and connected to our self and our world. I see the importance of integrating all parts and aspects of our Self and becoming more whole and complete human beings. This journey into wholeness in the realization of our potential, underpins our personal journey of transformation and healing. This philosophy is at the core of my approach.

I believe the solutions to many of our life's struggles are already within ourselves. As your therapist, I will assist you to identify what you envision for yourself, and help you feel better and accomplish your goals. My approach is practical, concrete and collaborative. In our work together we focus on your strengths, accomplishments and inherent skills and wisdom.

Carl Rogers said, when we accept ourselves as we are, then we can change. Focusing on the individual and their unique capability toward healing is the guiding approach I take in therapy. I work with great curiosity to explore the distractions and negative cycles that may be keeping you stuck. The struggle for clarity is a difficult one to navigate in isolation; together we can look at patterns and behaviors that no longer service you. The therapeutic process is one of finding balance between the emotional and rational, the mind and body and bringing that forward into our lives.

There are times where life presents tremendous challenges that can feel and seem insurmountable. Childhood wounding, insecure attachment, abuse, discrimination, divorce/separations, existential crisis, and transition to motherhood can be overwhelming. Often our family, friends, and larger community, if we are connected to them, do not know to help or are compromised themselves and cannot. This is when the proverbial "sh*t hits the fan." In some larger way, we might be able to see what is happening as an opportunity to grow, but what has happened or is happening is so painful we need strong support to get through and grow from it.

There are few things in life that we are able to do without the help of another person. Emotional pain can feel insurmountable when you are struggling with it on your own. You do not have to be alone with these overwhelming feelings. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have experience working with adults, adolescents, children and families. I have a particular interest in working with adults and adolescents struggling with eating disorders, self-image, anxiety, mood disorders, abuse and/or relational problems. I also work with children and families around issues of trauma, school problems, and communication difficulties.

We are biologically wired for relationship. Despite relationship being so natural, it tends to be an area of human experience that is equally challenging, puzzling, and painful as it is rewarding, transformative, and blissful. Greater understanding can be be found through contemporary neuroscience, direct observation and deeper introspection. All too often, couples get stuck in cycles of fighting, withdrawal, and shutdown, without understanding the primitive biological and personally historic underpinnings that color their experience. When couples are caught in these dysregulating cycles, the loving connection once enjoyed in the relationship begins to wither.

I support clients using experiential and somatic approaches to mobilize root emotional content that cannot be accessed or moved through traditional talk therapy. I have substantial experience in working with trauma, grief, and depression. I work with men's issues and facilitate workshops and retreats. I have also worked as a therapist in addiction treatment and recovery. I began working in the field of therapy and counseling in 2006 as a Wilderness Therapy guide for teens and young adults doing intensive healing and transformation work in a group setting.

Congratulations on your pursuit of self study! This step is a brave one. As a therapist, I adhere to the philosophy that you have all of the wisdom you need, my job is to help you uncover it for yourself. I want to walk alongside you in your journey toward self-understanding, self-awareness, and self-compassion; a journey that will hopefully be incorporated throughout a lifetime. Rather than hate away the parts of ourselves we've deemed problematic, we will begin to understand how these parts likely kept us safe in an unsafe world. Together, we will nurture these parts, which will allow them to soften their grip over our reality.

Individual therapy can help you reconnect to your authentic self. You can feel better about you and be more effective in your work and family life. Whether your concerns stem from stress, old wounds, poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, or mood problems you can regain balance and fulfillment in your life. Distressed couples and partners struggling with conflict and fear can learn to increase safety, trust and renewed love. Shared security and mutual support can be reestablished that will lead to satisfying communication and effective conflict resolution. True empowerment means that therapy doesn't stop when the session is over.
