People, relationships, work and life can be hard to handle and sometimes it is difficult to put words on what it is to be you. At times you may know where your difficulties and problems lie but other times you just feel that something is wrong. Maybe you want to grow your self-knowledge, awareness and ability to be totally honest with yourself. Or you may want to calm your racing mind and the painful memories that keep you up all night. I am here to support you with navigating through challenges, changes and improvements.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.” Do you find yourself wondering what you can do to feel better—less anxious, more confident, even happy? It seems like you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. You may be able to support others yet you fall short on supporting yourself. You no longer feel like yourself and worry that it could get worse. Imagine what it would feel like not to constantly worry and to be confident in your ability to handle challenging situations. Therapy is a step in practicing self-awareness and self-care.

The hurts of the past are making it harder and harder to function let alone find happiness. The present has lost meaning and things you used to love no longer satisfy. You fear your best days are behind you. You long for something else, something more but don't know what it is or how to get there. You feel you will never measure up. You fear you will never be enough.

As a trauma-informed therapist, my mission is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you until you get to where you want to be. I enjoy utilizing a holistic approach to healing and respect both eastern and western philosophies towards balancing the mind, body, and spirit. I love working with clients who feel like no one "gets them" and who are willing to do the work to make change. I believe the key to building trust is to listen with an open mind and an open heart without judgment. It takes courage to reach out for support. I hope to help you feel empowered and supported to accomplish your goals for therapy.

I practice client-centered therapy for couples, families and individuals using DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills training & coaching.
Life can be challenging, and often we can find ourselves at a point where we wonder how to go on. We get stuck, feel overwhelmed and discouraged and wonder what the next step is. No matter what your experience is at this time, if you feel like you can benefit from having a therapist collaborate with you to research stuck patterns and personal problems and create options for recovery and self-improvement, then consider contacting me.

I work with adults of any age, and have specialized training/experience with families and with children/adolescents, including play therapy for pre-school and young children. My clients find relief from painful symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety); address troublesome behavioral problems (e.g., anger management; school/work performance); improve family/ interpersonal relationships; and access greater creative and spiritual potential to fulfill life goals. I work with many clients who have been exposed to trauma, violence, abuse, or loss, and with adoptive and foster children/families. My clients often address issues of ethnic, cultural or sexual identity, and challenging life transitions.
