For 30+ years I have engaged collaboratively with individuals and families seeking relief from the challenges of depression, anxiety, chronic/severe mental health concerns, various personality disorders, trauma, ADD/ADHD, grief/loss, and major personal/interpersonal life transitions (e.g. deaths, disease, divorce). I subscribe to an eclectic, humanistic, client-centered approach to treatment that is supported by a variety of treatment approaches. My firm commitment to the values of mutual respect, human dignity, and loving kindness serve as a strong foundation for my integrated clinical and holistic approaches to promoting wellness.
By offering comfort and validation through an empathic presence and deep listening, I seek to be a witness who authentically values the narrative of each individual’s lived experience, with the goal of facilitating insight, acceptance, and change to propel them in the direction of building a life worth living by their own accord.
As we explore the practical and existential questions to the challenges in your life, together we will extract helpful understandings of your mind, emotions, and resultant behaviors, thus stimulating the path of personal transformation. I welcome you to reach out to me to further discuss how you envision your healing and how I may assist in your journey.
