Are you looking for someone who can help you or your child with mental health and/or substance abuse issues, who understands addiction and mental health and can help in a non-judgmental way, and can allow you or your child to make your own goals for change? Are you a parent who needs help, support or therapy in order to be the parent you want to be? Want to be able to change your thinking and perspective to have a more fulfilling life that you are in the drivers seat of?

My goal for my clients is to reduce the profound effects of challenging life events. I believe addressing the mind, body, and soul is the most effective way to heal from unexpected occurrences that affect us all. I believe most mental health symptoms and many medical issues originate in these events rather than being deficits or disorders of the person. These issues can be resolved through therapies that address the whole person. I am passionate and committed to helping individuals achieve a connection to themselves and others. I draw upon over thirty years of education and experience to guide clients through their unique journey.

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.

During times of difficulty, sometimes we need someone to talk to that is open-minded and non-judgmental.

This approach includes creating a partnership between therapist and client, where the client determines the focus of therapy and works collaboratively to identify attainable goals.
