Welcome, and thank you for being here. Please take this moment to acknowledge the courage it takes to reach out for help, as it is not an easy step for many of us. YOU are the expert of your own life and experiences. As your therapist, I would feel honored if you would help me understand life through your perspective and be willing for me to walk alongside you and bear witness to this part of your journey. I view counseling as a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on authenticity, curiosity, empathy, attunement, humor, and mutuality.

You want to live with more ease, confidence and vitality despite the circumstances of your life. You may be facing a major change or perhaps you feel stuck and like you're just going through the motions. Times of transition can feel scary, but they are also invitations for transformation. I believe we all have an inherent capacity for healing. However, sometimes we need help uncovering our inner wholeness. This is where therapy comes in.

Please note that I am currently at capacity and unable to accept new patients at this time. There is wisdom in the ways we adapt to our environments, but they do not always serve us in the present moment. My aim is to help people identify their adaptive patterns and view them with compassion, while also learning what to hold and what to let go. As a neurobiological informed therapist, I aim to help people move from judgement, shame and isolation to curiosity, acceptance and connection.

I believe in the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and survive trauma. I also believe in the importance of the therapist client relationship in the therapy process. When client’s feel safe, heard, and supported they are able to tap into their own strengths and find the courage to examine and address the issues in their life. I use a strengths-based approach that helps clients identify and utilize their own strengths to resolve whatever issues their struggling with. Combining client strengths with evidence-based therapy gives clients the tools they need to overcome their challenges.

At the Partnership for Trauma Recovery we believe that true healing happens when we find the courage to look at the root of the long standing patterns and difficulties we have. While learning to cope with the daily burdens of these patterns is an important skill, our philosophy is that simply learning to manage only places a bandage on the problem. In order to truly heal we have to look deeper into ourselves and try to determine where these patterns developed.

It is a courageous step to consider and begin therapy. Life offers us many joys and successes and along the way, challenges and stresses. We all have periods when the challenges and stresses seem to completely overshadow the joys. In these moments we may feel directionless, stuck in sadness and fear, anxiety and depression, emptiness and shame. No matter how stuck we may feel, there is always a path through.

Change can be an overwhelming and frustrating journey if done alone. Seeking support from a counselor is a sign of personal strength and can help you to achieve more effective and gratifying results. I believe people have the innate strength to overcome their barriers. However, we all need guidance and support at times to learn how to untap our power, potential, and abilities. At your own pace, we will collaborate to find a balance of cognitive, behavioral, and mind/body techniques that will help you to connect to yourself, cope with stress, and create effective solutions to the challenges you may be facing.

People seek out psychotherapy or psychoanalysis for various reasons—sometimes to solve a particular problem, more often in hopes of remedying a deeper sense of unease. The conversation may begin with a specific source of pain and then evolve to encompass the whole of one's life. We speak our desires and fears, our pride and shame, fantasies, regrets, and more. It's a process in which we make some sense of our perplexing repetitive patterns; equally, it's a way to learn to bear what is ultimately incomprehensible. In time, we can come to terms with our history and find new avenues of enjoyment, purpose, and action.
