I believe that when people connect, lives get better. I have always been an advocate for others' growth, and enjoy helping people gain insight into themselves and their world. As a marriage and family therapist, I help individuals address elements of their lives and themselves that are interfering with their relationships. The definition of those relationships extends far beyond family, and often includes friends, coworkers, and community members that are significant in the client's life.

You have to feel better to get better. That may seem obvious, but it really isn't. When I begin to work with a new patient, I have two immediate goals: To get to know this person so we can determine if we're a good match; and if we are, to use my years of experience and skills to target current areas of damage and hurt. People come to therapy in pain — something or many things in their lives aren't working. Our job is to take a breath, appreciate your unique situation, understand when and how current problem(s) became unmanageable or toxic, and then find ways to feel better, more hopeful and clear about how to proceed back to life.

What is it that has brought you to seek out therapy? If it is because you are looking for someone to provide a safe validating space to feel heard, to learn to take control of your emotions, to change problematic behaviors, learn effective coping mechanisms, process grief, move on from what no longer serves you, solve a problem, or even figure out what the problem is, I can help. Whatever symptoms you are experiencing, they are there to communicate something to you. I can help identify what that is, and what to do with that information.

Personal growth and overcoming emotional or mental challenges can feel like immovable obstacles. These obstacles may be related to family, loss, relationships, societal / cultural pressures, racism or other traumas. The challenges can cause many symptoms like perfectionism, sadness, isolation, anger, defensiveness, people pleasing, overthinking, weak boundaries, low self-esteem or suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately, we weren't all afforded the opportunity to learn healthy coping skills to manage these symptoms, nor how to recognize or recover from them. Furthermore, openly confronting issues, even in the home, may have been forbidden.

Of special interest to me are those individuals who have been raised to believe that they are not special, and experience the suffering resulting from focusing more on the needs and feelings of others than their own. I assist my clients in developing their personal boundaries and limitations required to establish their own equal "space" within relationships, and to achieve the necessary freedom from re-enacting their familial role and associated feelings with that role.

Welcome! I believe the goal of therapy is to create insight and self-awareness. If we are better able to understand who we are and why we engage in the behaviors we do, we are able to make changes in our lives. My job is to offer a supportive environment, in which you feel safe to explore who you are.
