Whether by choice or circumstance, we sometimes find ourselves in continuous cycles. Either way this can be tough. One important factor is not holding on to blame, shame, anger, guilt and unforgiveness. These emotions influence our thoughts, behaviors, and actions. Consequences of unwanted repetitive patterns are typically unfavorable. A second important factor is recognizing your power to overcome obstacles. Sometimes life's challenges help uncover how much we can handle. A third important factor is knowing you're not alone. I will help you along your journey as you develop skills to identify, manage, heal and grow.

My time at the University has refined my skills and knowledge, particularly in applying psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy techniques.
While I have experience with a variety of populations, my ideal clients range from 17 years old into their 30s. These individuals are transitioning from childhood, leaving their family home, and embarking on their adult lives. They face an increasing number of decisions, often feeling anxious and worn out from constant self-doubt. They question the reliability of their own thoughts and emotions. They tend to compare themselves to others, noticing their own perceived flaws. During this period, they encounter various developmental challenges that may be postponed or derailed. Sometimes people need assistance sorting it all out.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
