Telling your story to someone who will listen and offer warm, nonjudgmental support and guidance can be the beginning of your healing journey and ongoing well being. We will work together to address various life challenges whether it is due to difficulties in a relationship, estrangement, past trauma, grief, family of origin issues, illness, care giving for a loved one or other stress you are experiencing. I am a compassionate clinician with over 30 years of experience counseling adults of all ages in medical and mental health settings. I am familiar with relevant community resources you can utilize along with your therapy.
I draw upon a variety of modalities tailored to your individual needs utilizing insight oriented, mindfulness based, compassion focused and cognitive behavioral therapeutic approaches. Therapy is an opportunity to explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences that shape our inner world. I encourage you to reach out to see if we may be a good fit.
At this time, I am only providing telehealth therapy (video and telephone appointments). Please call or email for a free 15 minute consultation appointment.
