Our professional relationship needs to be a collaborative and connecting experience. Your input and feedback are essential ingredients in getting where you want to go while my job is to understand your goals and needs and observe which methods might work best for you. I am a seasoned, ethical psychologist with 30 years of experience. My clients vary from young adults to elders. Some seek life coaching or a consultation for a specific problem while others are in distress and want major changes. In general my clients describe me as warm and encouraging, with an ability to see patterns, clarify situations and identify alternatives.

My work is driven by my interest in our shared creaturehood: how we function, what unites us, what experiences we carry, what stories we tell or keep hidden, and how we heal. In a therapeutic space, I invite clients to show up as they are and speak about what is most important to them, become more aware and tolerant of their bodily sensations and emotions, and make connections from past to present experiences. What are my clients' notions of a good life? What do pleasure, safety, well being, and fulfillment look and feel like to each of them?

It can be difficult to open up and talk about your life stressors to someone you don’t know. Sometimes we can feel unheard or alone and just need someone who can be a helping, nonjudgmental, and listening ear. The hardest part can be finding the words to express ourselves and process what can feel like a jumbled mess and you just need someone to help put the scattered puzzle pieces together to create a beautiful picture. Aristotle said it best, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” I can help with building coping skills, work on effective communication, self-expression, processing trauma/grief, and mindfulness.
