Are you in a place where you have done all you can, but are still unable to make the necessary positive changes you would like? Often times you may feel as if you have done everything possible, but change is still out of reach.

By working together I believe that I can help you to acknowledge your dominate positive attributes in order to facilitate that much needed change.

I work with others as they find the best ways to recognize, accept and overcome any roadblocks to creating the life they want.

As a therapist, my passion is to aid others in aligning the lives they are living with the path of the soul. Depth psychotherapy, IFS/ Parts work, Meditation and Tai Chi instruction, as well as Dream Work and Focusing, can begin to open us up to a more reflective space, developing and actualizing a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life. It may be time to dig a bit deeper in order to satisfy that quest for purpose. Often this search for meaning begs our attention through such symptoms as physical pain, depression, anxiety, anger or a simple but frustrating lethargy with life.

Asking for help is never easy. That's why finding the right fit in a therapist is imperative. By combining a direct therapeutic style with compassion and humor, I can help you or your loved ones address your concerns and develop treatment goals together. My areas of focus include mood disorders, grief, divorce, parenting, school-related difficulties, marital discord, abuse, and treatment-resistant adolescents.

I believe therapy is about helping you sort out the problem, rally your strengths, and learn the skills needed to move forward in your life. It can take incredible courage to recognize when help is needed, and then ask for that help. When you know you are ready, I will welcome the opportunity to work with you on your goals in an atmosphere of respect and support. Whether for depression/anxiety, managing stress, coping with loss or trauma, or becoming a more effective worker, partner or parent, you will grow in understanding yourself and meeting your needs.
