I believe therapy is about getting to know yourself on a more intimate level. I listen in a caring, compassionate and non-judgmental way that allows you to see more clearly what your issues are about. i hold space with the awareness that you are a soul with the wisdom and intelligence to deal with whatever life is offering you at the moment. i am highly skilled with working with people looking for self-actualization, therapists in the making and those interested in self-growth and transformation.

As Rumi wrote in "The Guest House": "This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all." In therapy, we learn to welcome all of life’s experiences, even the difficult ones. Together, we will explore these “visitors,” understanding them deeply so that healing and growth can unfold.

If you don't know how to 'fix it' yourself, why not call a professional? We all know how to call a plumber or electrician or landlord, why is it so hard to call a therapist? Or even a friend or partner? First, let me say, nothing is broken, YOU are not broken. You want more out of your life and relationships and you're not sure how to get there. You've lost your way in more ways than one, and your connection to self and others may be shakey at best. Maybe you feel stuck or like no one really understands. Together we can rebuild your sense of connection to yourself and others, dare I say, even a sense of aliveness and joy.

Often a person will seek out counseling when personal attempts to solve a problem have not worked. Therapy is a safe and supportive environment in which to explore very personal concerns - concerns that may be difficult to share even with those closest to you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I can provide a different kind of support than family and friends; I will listen objectively, not be judgmental, and help you to find your own solutions. My role is to help you feel better and to assist you to acheive your own personal goals.
