My four decades of practice has shown that no matter what brings you to counseling, every person wants to live in consistent positive feelings – comfortable in their own skin and enjoying life – able to navigate the ups and downs with resilience and effectiveness – able to solve the problems they face and move forward. This is the focus of my sessions – tailored to your specific situation and needs. Sessions are comfortable and informal. I can help nearly every client I see because I know all people have innate mental wellbeing and the ability to connect to it in a simple way that deepens and endures. Let’s chat.

Have you noticed that you feel as if you have lost yourself to your own emotional reactions? Are you overworking yourself and just can't seem to get a break, where your life is hectic and not manageable? When you wake up in the morning, do you notice that you are hit immediately with feeling overwhelmed, helpless, or even hopeless? And when you think about yourself are you overcome with shame that you just can't “get over it” like there is "something wrong with me"?

My work with clients is guided by each client’s strengths, resilience, and values. Putting in the work of therapy can be challenging and scary, especially in the process of trying to understand where you may be stuck in life, experiencing of intrusive thoughts, feelings of possible guilt of past actions, or living in shame. I strive to provide a safe, encouraging, and nonjudgmental environment to create a place/space for clients to hopefully feel at ease, supported, and empowered.

Life is hard, sometimes! Therapy provides you with that extra support as well as the opportunity to grow, evolve and learn new ways to cope with life's challenges. I believe the trust and rapport built between a client and therapist forms the foundation of all progress made in therapy. This relationship supports increasing awareness of the present, identifying what is no longer working, setting long term goals and taking small steps toward those goals. Building a life based in vitality, hope and an increased capacity for joy rather than one filled with suffering, avoidance and futility.

Life is a journey that occasionally can become difficult, and even painful. Our emotions can be overwhelming, disconnected, or confusing. Our relationships can become challenging and unfulfilling. We can discover we aren't the person we ultimately hope to be. I desire to help people make sense of their struggles and for them to know they aren't alone in the challenges and suffering life brings. Through sincere interest, deep listening, and a devoted presence, my hope is that therapy can be a place to make peace with the past, find renewed joy and richness in the present, and know hope and healing for the future to come.

I seek to help people find hope and light in dark times. I love working within youth, young adults, and families to help mend concerns and disconnects within important relationships because relationships are a foundation of life. In addition to relationships I love working one-on-one to help clients find new ways to heal and cope with whatever their life situations may be: mental illness, life changes, grief, loss, transitions, and any other obstacle that is ever present in life today. Each person has their own story and I am humbled to help clients navigate theirs.

You don't have to feel stuck in life and in relationships - You deserve relationships that feel good! You find yourself struggling to be your authentic self in relationships with others - maybe because of past relationships, childhood trauma, or ongoing family conflict. You want to feel confident in yourself and your relationships. You’re ready to STOP the thoughts and patterns that hurt you most. You want the past to stay in the past so that you can live a more fulfilling life today and tomorrow.
