It is not easy to take the first step to reach out for therapy! That is why it is so important to me that you feel understood, safe and respected in our sessions. We live in a complex world with surprises and challenges, making it easy for us to feel overwhelmed by daily pressures. I believe that each of us has the inner resources to live a happier and more fulfilling life, making positive choices to manage our stressors, even when faced with complex stressors and demands. My role is to help you recognize and utilize your internal strength and resources to live a more balanced and satisfying life.
With over 30 years experience with client issues related to aging and care taking, trauma, addiction, anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, relationships, finding meaning in life and more, I utilize psychodynamic and trauma focused approaches, mindfully- based stress reduction and creative expression to help resolve long standing issues.
I believe that all treatment should be guided and developed based upon individual need and your desired outcome. My schedule is flexible with day and evening hours to meet your needs. Please reach out to me for treatment consultation and together we can discuss your next steps.
