We often fall into old patterns that don't work for us any longer. We can feel stuck. We don't know how to make changes or what to do.

We will work together, at your pace and comfort level, to develop goals to improve your life. We will work to give your life balance in all areas.

Hello! As a psychotherapist, I will strive to connect with you, support you, and help you identify and achieve your goals. Therapy can be as simple as learning new tools, or it can be a more complex and deeper process. For example, anxiety and depression can be indicators of deeper wounds or that a person has gone off course in some way. In either case, working with me is a dance between treating problems and building on strengths. Whatever the nature of your therapy, I believe everyone has the power to heal, grow, and reach their full potential emotionally, intellectually and physically.

Throughout my career the hallmark of my practice has been that I work with difficult and complex issues. I am currently helping people ranging in age from ten to 80 years old. My strengths are discernment, empathy and responsiveness and my treatment is based on whole life developmental theories and strength focused crisis management. I specialize in treating oppositional, defiant kids and their families, and adults facing overwhelming emotional conflict and relational situations. If you wish, I will work closely with your family physician, psychiatrist, school personnel, minister, or family members.
