If you’re here, you’re looking for help with something that's going on for you in your life. Maybe you’re looking for support as you navigate a transition, mourn a loss, or face a challenge. Or maybe something has been affecting you or your relationships, or keeping you stuck, and you're unsure of how to get to a better place. You may even have tried therapy before, but didn’t find it as helpful as you’d hoped, and you might be worried you can’t be helped. Or maybe personal development and self-understanding are important to you, and you welcome therapy as a part of your growth and evolution.

Some concerns that bring people to me are their experience of loneliness, depression, and anxiety; feelings of worry, emptiness, and sadness; a search for connection and meaning in relationships and work; life transitions; perfectionism; self-doubt; relationship difficulties; divorce; searching for life direction and a sense of purpose; loss and grief; and exploration of identity. I work with people through collaborative, interactive conversation to help them gain insight, to develop strategies to approach their life challenges, and to feel known and understood. People describe me as empathic, genuine, and with a sense of humor.

I believe the single-most effective tool in therapy is the therapeutic relationship and connection. In a good therapeutic relationship, both people change. This connection serves as the anchor for greater personal insight, meaningful and purposeful change, and new discoveries. Change can also be daunting, but through a supportive and collaborative connection, we often find new voice, perspective, and courage. I believe the therapeutic process can and should include humor, joy, safety, and a sense of purpose.

In over twenty-five years of working with adolescents and adults in schools and clinics, I have learned that people seek therapy because they are struggling to manage overwhelming emotions and experiences. Therapy offers the opportunity to explore symptoms like depression and anxiety with another person, so these feelings can be tolerated and understood. As you investigate your patterns of relating, your coping strategies, and your resources, you will develop new perspectives and recognize your own capacities.

Everyone can benefit from better self-understanding. Sometimes our anxiety, depression, and internal conflicts can affect our relationships with others and the world in which we live. By creating a safe environment for expressing thoughts and feelings, I am able to help those who enter into a therapeutic alliance with me improve general satisfaction in interpersonal relationships and life.

To establish a relationship with a therapist takes time and can be rewarding when you are able to build trust, knowing you are able to confide and share your perspective, your story. This process allows the individual the opportunity to gain clarity in a setting that is confidential and accepting. All too often emotional/physical pain can have a significant impact on our ability to remain independent, self-reliant, engaged in everyday tasks and life roles at level of independence that is rewarding to oneself and those they care for. As an Occupational Therapist with a background in behavioral health, I take a holistic approach.

Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.
