I arrive at the intersection of compassion & collaboration as I respectfully guide my clients to explore new levels of awareness, self-empowerment, flow, & understanding. Working towards cognitive flexibility, wholeness, and healing. Using empathy & unconditional positive regard as a foundation, I may occasionally challenge you to bring forward awareness with a more direct approach. I welcome the motivation or perhaps ambivalence that comes along with seeking treatment. There is no perfection in the layers that define us, just a journey of experiences & lessons that await discovery, growth and honor.

My ideal client wants to enjoy their life and relationships more, notices patterns repeated in their lives, is reflective, perhaps insightful. Though many of us were wounded in childhood, few of us have had the opportunity to work through the challenges life presents. I look through the lens of our history and relationships to get under the surface of our symptoms. Our time together will bring relief from worries, fears, stress, low self-esteem & self-blame which greatly constrict our lives. I connect clients . I work with separating & divorcing families, where circumstances are particularly challenging and parents want less stress.

As a holistic psychotherapist, I strive to assist clients in finding wholeness where they may feel fragmented. I invite all parts of you to therapy. The parts that may be hiding, fearful, or even curious. I believe that whether you are experiencing anxiety, a life transition, or trauma, there is intelligence in each of those parts that I welcome. If you find yourself feeling stuck in cycles of dysfunction and unable to move past certain thresholds, please know I believe your struggle is real. Consider taking a deeper dive into therapy to heal burdens and move forward into the self you want to be in the world.

Knowledge is power. Together, we find your inner strengths and apply them to the reasons you seek therapy.

We'll work together to find ways that improve your ability to understand, cope and sustain the process to a better life.

Life is often difficult and sometimes you need assistance in clarifying things and trying a new approach that makes sense. Without prior experience no one knows how to be a therapy client, so we begin there and then focus on what you want to accomplish by coming to sessions. You might be having difficulty with a coworker and could use some self-assertiveness training. Or need anger management skills for you and your partner. Or mood problems that have been an issue for a long time. Patient and careful assessment of your presenting issue is key for helping you get started feeling hopeful.
