I have a deep respect for the power of relationship.
No two people are the same- not even two therapy sessions, with the same person, are the same. So, describing what therapy is like with me on a web site is a little like describing what "all rivers" look like. What I can say is I will prioritize that you are heard, valued, and encouraged, and I will collaborate with you on what works best for you-whether that's finding strategies to cope with something current or finally addressing a concern that has developed over time. I will also met you with integrity and offer you the best of who I am and what the field of psychology has to offer.

I work collaboratively with clients, from the perspective that you are the expert on yourself and my role is to support your growth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change, and I foster a trusting and brave space for self-exploration and understanding. I trust that clients possess internal resources to help them navigate challenging experiences, and part of our work together is to further nurture and develop those resources. I practice from interpersonal and feminist orientations to examine relational dynamics and societal systems effects on clients’ identities, current experiences, and world views.

I employ a strengths-based, person-centered approach that places at its core the relationship between therapist and client.
Working from a perspective of radical acceptance, I am looking forward to working with clients who are currently navigating challenging life transitions. I am adept at working with adolescents and young adults, primarily around issues of perfectionism, anxiety, and self-esteem. As a former Division I athlete, I have the skills and experience to work closely with clients who are currently negotiating the stressful and unique challenges associated with high level athletics, at the high school, collegiate, or professional level.

I have a passion for working with people who suffer from depression, anxiety, mood disorders, or relationship issues.
Have you ever felt alone, hopeless, angry, anxious, depressed, afraid, or overwhelmed? Have you ever felt that you just needed someone to talk to, someone who would really listen and not judge you? Today, one decision can change your life forever. You can overcome all your negative emotions and find your path to empowerment. Although therapy can be scary for many people, it can also be exciting. It can lead to self-discovery and an understanding of why you think, feel, and behave as you do. It can be a place of safety, one where you can open up and allow yourself to be vulnerable and accepted unconditionally.

Making changes can be hard and finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I started working in this field over fifteen years ago to help people like you find a space that is welcoming and provides the safety needed to explore whatever it is you are facing. I believe that everyone has their own unique story, and that healing takes place in the rapport built between client and therapist. Therapy can help you become unstuck. It can help reveal patterns that are no longer useful and can help build resiliency. Seeking wellbeing is a courageous act and I do not take that lightly. I would be honored to explore how we might work together.

Psychotherapy is my second career. I come from a rich background in entrepreneurship and business management which makes me more focused on goal-setting that underpins my action-oriented approach. I work collaboratively with clients to define actionable goals and identify issues (conscious and unconscious) that act as barriers to long term psycho-emotional health. Philosophically, I embrace the idea that individuals often have the answers they seek to difficult questions. The real challenge may be finding the stillness to settle inner conflicts or competing thoughts (expectations, judgments, etc.) long enough to uncover personal truths.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
