Picture this: you're finally lying in bed after another long day, about to drift off to sleep when the intrusive thoughts start up. There's no way I can take care of a baby! Is my boss mad at me? I just know my girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/spouse/friend is going to break up with me. I am the worst person ever. I can’t do anything right! No wonder I’m having trouble adapting to parenthood/a new job/school. Are any of these thoughts familiar? Do you find yourself struggling in ways that affect you at work or school and in your relationships? Do negative thoughts and feelings seem to take over and permeate your whole existence?

For over 30 years I have been helping my clients to discover new ways to deal with their problems and to begin thriving rather than merely surviving in their lives. My greatest strength is moving people from crisis to change. My openness and forthright style with clients provide them the opportunity for understanding, personal growth, and change. I view therapy as an educational as well as therapeutic experience. My style is primarily interactive. I am supportive, caring and process oriented. I have extensive experience with mental health, hospitals and schools. I love working with people in all stages and ages of their lives!

Life is full of difficulty and uncertainty, as a therapist, I work towards creating a safe space for my clients to explore themselves and their relationships. I enjoy working with individuals and couples to help them heal through self discovery. My hope is to provide them with the necessary understanding to create change and minimize suffering. I invite my clients to explore their earliest relationships to help them identify how those dynamics may be impacting their current life. I believe by bringing awareness to what is unconscious, my clients will have a better opportunity to make healthier lasting change with understanding.

If you've worked with other therapists in the past, or are considering starting for the first time, I have been where you are and know that solutions can sometimes feel unattainable. You don't want to just pay someone to listen, you want to attain improvements in all facets of your life. You deserve to experience contentment, peace & happiness, and the people closest in your life deserve to have that version of you. Real change is possible!

Everyone has an inner critic that is demanding, judgmental, and critical of the self. Some have harsher inner critics than others; however, my goal is for my clients to experience less criticism and more curiosity and self-compassion. Self-criticism is debilitating. It can lead to depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, cutting, substance abuse, infidelity and the list goes on. As I work with my clients to develop more self-awareness and self-understanding, they begin to develop more self-compassion and their symptoms begin to dissipate.

Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain, wrought by a personal history that can sometimes only come alive when spoken to a professional listening other. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. I see my work as bringing my clients closer to that possibility. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.
