I take a very straightforward, yet warm and non-judgmental approach to my work. I offer client-centered therapy with an emphasis on helping individuals reach wholeness and authenticity. I do not believe I can be an authority on anyone else’s experience, but I might be able to offer a perspective that helps someone see their life in another way. We can explore together not just the thoughts you are having, but also the way you relate to others and the way you relate to your body and what it expresses.

Whether you are coping with depression, sexuality issues, struggling with chronic illness or addiction issues, or having problems in your relationships with others, I believe that therapy can help you find the solutions to move forward in your life. I believe that all individuals have the capacity to live their best life and can become 'unstuck' with the help of therapy.

The most significant predictor of a successful therapy experience is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. Building a safe, nurturing relationship is where I excel. My style is warm and highly interactive, best suited for clients who prefer a therapist who feels very "human." I assist clients to explore their thought patterns and corresponding emotional responses, and to identify unconscious assumptions they hold about themselves and the world, which inform behavior patterns. I also provide practical tools for regulating anxiety, managing depression, and processing grief.

Starting therapy and finding the right fit can be a daunting task. I view the therapeutic relationship as something that is co-created over time and as the primary tool for healing. I have experience working with ages 3-50+ providing specific insights and tools relevant for the progressive stages of life and the many difficulties that can come up along the way. Focusing on the here and now, we work to increase self awareness, compassion, insight and care while simultaneously holding the larger context within which we meet, including ways that race, gender, class and culture impact our experiences and identities.

Waitlist for new clients
As a therapist, my goal is to empower you to ultimately become your “own” therapist once our work together is completed. To do this, I assist my clients in first gaining an understanding of what has—and what has not—been going well for them. I then work actively to assist my clients develop and strengthen skills to use in their daily lives that will help them not only feel better in the short term, but feel more able to take on life’s many challenges. Throughout this process, I seek to create a warm, safe, and enjoyable space where clients feel free to laugh, cry, learn, and ultimately grow.

I believe that psychotherapy is an interpersonal journey of discovery of new perspectives and new ideas on the issues that concern the client(s). The therapist lends his or her knowledge of psychotherapeutic techniques, desire to help, ability to empathize, and his or her ideas from past and present experience The client brings curiosity about himself or herself, expertise on his or her own experience, and a desire/need to change.

In my previous career as a nurse, I learned that helping was not solving someone’s problems for them, but being with them in an authentic way as a fellow human being. The potential of human to human relationships is what drew me to becoming a therapist. A good fit with a therapist provides the safety to begin shaking loose limiting beliefs that keep you stuck and isolated in painful patterns. It can allow you to experience yourself in new, more flexible and expansive ways.
