I am privileged to be involved in such important and transformative work.

We all have a story to tell. What does your story mean? How is your story relevant to where you find yourself today? What are you telling yourself about your story (for many, this sounds like, "It was all my fault. I am a failure. There is no hope"). Answering questions on your own can be scary and confusing; the answers can cause painful emotions. My hope for you: perhaps by sharing your story with me, with a gentle and firm approach I have learned from over 20 yrs. of work in this field, your story will begin to change; you will find new meaning to your story; you will create the rest of your story.

Do you feel like you and your partner are stuck in a place where you are misunderstood, out of synch, and angry- no matter how hard and how sincerely you try to connect? Does a part of you want to make positive choices and life improvements while another part of you feels stuck in pursuing activities that make you feel ashamed, lost, or numb? Or do you feel like the ways that you have coped for most of your life are no longer working or are getting in the way of you moving forward, but you aren’t sure how to change? This can feel so frustrating and confusing- you may not even feel like you can describe what it’s like for you!

Change exists as a constant in our lives, and I embrace the opportunity to assist others in navigating through challenges, finding meaning, and improving life satisfaction.

I have over 20 years' experience working with both individuals and couples. I create a caring, safe, challenging and motivating environment so clients can better understand their patterns and start breaking cycles that inhibit well-being and potential.

Psychotherapy can be a challenging and rewarding process. People often come to treatment to talk about what's wrong, but it is also important to talk about what's right.

With a collaborative approach that combines insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions, we will work together to create new pathways towards well-being.
