We only know what we know, no shame in not knowing what we don’t. Consider it a privilege to accompany you on your journey to a more fulfilling life. Therapy shouldn't have to be complicated or intimidating. I work with a compassionate, supportive, and individualized approach reducing your distress and symptoms and build your strength and resilience. I'm a lmft with over 35 years experience. My style is interactive, direct, and supportive. I focus on the here-and-now but recognize that one's past impacts choices, feelings, and behaviors in the present. I hope you find therapy with me to be a safe, nurturing, productive experience.

Do you desire more empowerment and mastery over your life? Do you intuitively sense you are destined for more, but are plagued by fears and doubts? Are you committed to your growth, but feel stuck in low-moods or trauma spirals? In our work together, we will take an honest inventory of everything that is no longer serving you, such as, old, destructive patterns, false limiting beliefs, and intrusive negative self-talk that unconsciously runs on a loop. My intention is to empower you to make lasting changes and to ultimately help you see yourself through a more honest and loving lens.

The struggle is real! Grief is one of the hardest things we go through. Does your world feel frozen and stuck since they left. A storm of emotions fear, sadness, anger, crashes over you daily. And missing them is a constant ache. Life without them feels terrifying and all you want to you do is hit the reset button. Maybe you're going through the motions, afraid to face the reality of this loss. And you even yearn to feel accomplished, to move forward, but every day feels like you are falling behind.

As a clinician, it is important to me to know the reasons for someone wanting to attend therapy and if an individual has ever attended therapy before. If this is something you have never done, I would like to understand how you feel about attending? I would also like to discuss (if you have had therapy prior) if those experiences were helpful or not so helpful? Understanding what has helped is important for me as a clinician so that I have an idea of what actually might help you. Making the decision to attend therapy or go back to therapy is not easy, so I want to always make sure my clients feel safe, heard and validated.

Therapy is a unique experience aimed at helping clients understand their emotions as well as learning that our symptoms are telling us something. It is the collaborative relationship between therapist and client that allows each client to explore not only their symptoms but understand ones self, while obtaining valuable tools to deal with emotions, conflict, and interpersonal communication. In my office I offer a warm non-judgmental space for self exploration and growth.

The most direct route to feeling better (higher self-esteem, less sadness and worry, compassion for yourself and those around you, and freedom from shame) is through knowing yourself in a deeper, more profound way. If you're looking for relief from depression and anxiety, or hoping to build more loving relationships, we can find that in an atmosphere that's sometimes warm, sometimes intense, and sometimes lighthearted. We'll look at both your past, to see the forces that have shaped who you are, and at your present to see which choices are working and which are getting in your way.

In the 20+ years I've been a therapist, I've learned that no two situations are the same. Therefore, I don't profess to have all the answers, but I'm very good at finding answers. I value getting to know people and finding out what has worked and what isn't working and then finding answers together.
