I have helped numerous patients in the past 25 years overcome major hurdles emotionally and spiritually, helping them discover for themselves who God has truly meant them to be. Living with depression, anxiety, fear, inhibitions, low-self esteem, relationship problems or the like -- your suffering should not be ignored. Life was not meant to be lived in part, but rather in fullness. My interest is in dealing with the deeper issues that underlie problems so that life can be lived in fullness rather than confusion, frustration and regret.

Relationships between husbands, wives, lovers, boy/girl friends, children or parents can be tricky. Happy, satisfying and fulfilling relationships require attention, energy, fun, humor, communication, time and investment of yourself.

Personality changes over time, affairs of the heart, infidelity, unmet sexual intimacy, abuse, cruel words, neglect, self-centeredness, different communication styles, different goals, values and dissimilar interests or fun activities also create unhappiness in relationships.

As a psychotherapist, my commitment is to provide you with a safe and creative context for an ongoing collaboration.

Are you in a romantic relationship that feels stagnant or unstable, or are you single because you struggle to find a healthy connection? You're not alone. Many of us face relational issues that prevent us from living an authentic and fulfilling life. We all desire healthy relationships, especially with romantic partners, but often struggle to create or maintain them due to unaddressed attachment issues from childhood. Without healing these attachment wounds, we may find ourselves repeating similar unhealthy patterns.

Life can happen at any moment and it’s at those precise moments in life that often lead one to experience a state of confusion, feel as if one is losing all sense of control in their life, have an inability to cope, or even lose any sight of hope that things can or will improve. It's in these times of turmoil that one can only do their best to manage the unexpected. Should it involve a loss, depression or anxiety, relationship or behavioral issues, or more complex mental health issues, I would love to provide a unique experience for you to process and address the issues that may be causing you to feel stuck or troubled in life.

Are you interested in direct feedback and skills that you can bring home and do something with? Do you need to be called out every once in a while? If you need more interaction than someone who nods knowingly and repeats everything you say back to you, I am a good fit for you. I don't believe therapy should be a mystical process. Therapy is a tool that is designed to help you navigate the murky waters, feel connected to all of your emotions, and help challenge behaviors that may have once served you and no longer do.

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel seen, heard and accepted. I believe it is the relationship between client and therapist where so much of the work happens. We can work collaboratively to explore relational patterns, understand the connection between thoughts, emotions and behavior, and get curious about what may be holding you back from a deeper connection to self and others.

My ideal client would be someone who is going through a life transition. My client would want to learn exercises to become a stong and independent individual.
