Think of life as a baseball game, you are up to bat, unsure of what the pitcher will throw at you and how you will approach whatever is thrown your way. This is where I want to step in. You have all the skills; we just have to uncover the approach. In life, we are thrown many curveballs, we take unexpected paths and roads, but the ultimate goal is to get us back to home plate. Home plate meaning back to some type of balance of comfort that makes us feel good. Are you ready to step up to bat?

“Everyone deserves a witness to their pain”. That is something I learned years ago and have tried to live by. I spent 6.5 years in the Navy which changed my life I am licensed in mental health and addictions, having worked in both outpatient and residential care for the past 14 years. My therapy style tends to be more eclectic rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I have found that utilizing a strengths-based, collaborative approach works well. I am familiar with DBT, CBT, and family systems.

I have been a psychotherapist for several decades and have been trained in a variety of therapy approaches: client-centered, psychodynamic, humanistic, relational, feminist/gender, and mindfulness. I work with individual adults and adolescents. I believe in the connections between our youth and our current situations. I see the psychotherapeutic process as a client's journey in which I have been invited to participate. My view of the goal of psychotherapy is to assist a person in making changes to his/her perceptions, interpretations, reactions and/or behavior in order to enhance the quality of that person's life.

Taking the step to call a therapist can feel intimidating. It can be scary becoming so vulnerable with someone you don't know. I strive to create and maintain a relaxed, supportive and honest therapeutic relationship. One where you can feel comfortable discussing any aspect of your life that "doesn't feel right."

Have you ever found yourself faced with a problem that no amount of help from family and friends can solve? Sometimes, a well-trained and objective listener who is also able to be empathic and non-judgmental can provide that help. Perhaps I can be that person for you. I have particular expertise working with adolescents and young adults who struggle with life transitions to college or work or life after college. I also have years of experience working with women in life transitions of one sort of another: relationships, childbirth, work, or life events. Contact me and we can discuss if I can help you to solve your problem.

Therapy is a collaborative relationship. I work with clients to develop a safe and trusting relationship that we can use to explore challenging interpersonal patterns, to work through stressful life events and conflicts, and to better understand the motivations underlying our behavior. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can develop an awareness of the impact thoughts, emotions, behaviors and interpersonal relationships have on the way we cope with life events. By understanding how the past impacts the present we can gain insight into our current issues and develop the skills to manage the challenges in our daily lives.

Trained in Germany and in the United States I have been able to learn from both academic and cultural traditions. Psycho-dynamic, Gestalt, Solution-focused and other approaches in Psychology led me to understand our emotional life as a strong and resilient force. This force is leading us - sometimes unnoticed - to new beginnings; we resist what is destructive and we heal at the same time.
