Seeking care can take tremendous courage and finding the right therapist is not always a straightforward process. I see my role as providing a reliable and consistent space where my patients can gradually better understand themselves so that they can live life more freely and fully. I try to help my patients develop curiosity about how their mind works and to recognize when they may be repeating certain unhealthy patterns that interfere with becoming their authentic selves.

Space in which someone begins to let go of the person they think they should be in order to become who they truly are is sacred space. It can also be a very hard space, and one that can be difficult to navigate alone. This is where I come in. I believe you are the expert when it comes to your life, and that you have everything you need to live your best life. What is perceived as brokenness is often just disconnection with ourselves and with others. My expertise is deep listening coupled with insight that helps you first to connect with your genuine self, and then to make authentic, lasting, and meaningful connections with others.

You’ve been carrying the anxiety and pain for far too long. No one really knows what it's like to be you. It feels utterly lonely. But you are at the point, where you want to find hope again and see if there is a chance that it doesn’t have to be this way. You are navigating relationships with your intimate partner and friends, and experiencing difficult lonely feelings about your life, family, health, and career. Whether you have a relationship or are starting a new one, planning a family or maintaining one, struggling at college, battling chronic pain or IBS, or moving into the empty nest syndrome, there is so much to worry about.

Not accepting new clients
For 20 years, I have been fortunate to work in various settings with adults who are struggling with problematic issues that affect their sense of self and their relationships. I am committed to first listening in order to understand and then aligning myself with my client so that together we can design a plan that will alleviate their pain and stress. I especially enjoy work with older adults who are dealing with relationship and transitional life changes as well as physical and emotional challenges. I regard therapy as an experience of mutual learning and discovery where my role is to facilitate my client's needs and desires.

In the same way that lifes difficulties can hold us back, I think they can also teach us to grow. I see counseling as a cooperative space that serves to help you strive towards becoming the best version of yourself. Within session, I focus on creating a safe environment where you feel comfortable exploring your identity and working through inner struggles. At the core of the therapeutic process, I think deep connection matters and I strive to see each client as the unique individual they are. I value you for who you are and believe that your understanding of yourself is inextricably linked to your success.

Through my training and experience, I have embraced the understanding that living our best life depends on relationship and healthy interdependence. Sometimes, trauma creates barriers to having our most fulfilling relationships. Relating authentically with others begins with self – compassion and self-acceptance. The basis of my practice is to create a safe, reflective space for this to happen.
