My goal is to offer you a safe space, separate from the chaos of your life, where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment.

You might be seeking therapy because you feel like no one has your back, that you just can't handle how much crap keeps pilling up on you, because you doubt your ability to manage the craziness of life, the heaviness of it, the complications of family that you love, but who don't always treat you with love and care, you feel weighed down by "failures" and unable to see your strength and successes despite surviving one hard thing after another, and often with limited or poor support. Or maybe you just feel broken and that no one else cares. The truth is most people aren't broken. They may have hearts or minds that have been sprained, but with the right treatment, they can heal. When people come to see me who feel that "no one cares about them" I'm always reminded of how important it is that AT LEAST ONE PERSON cares...and the fact that they got to my office tells me that the MOST important person they can have rooting for them in their life CARES - THEY CARE. They care enough to get the support they need. And that's the first step to widening that circle to create healthy connections so that they don't have to carry that care alone.

My approach to the collaborative effort of psychotherapy is influenced by structural/strategic family systems theory, informing the process of joining with clients to clarify their roles in relationship, family, and community. Creative engagement in experiential learning assists individuals, couples, and families in gaining a fresh perspective through focused work that brings lasting results. I endeavor, in every client relationship, to de-mystify the daunting prospect of change, empowering personal choice in difficult circumstances through guided self-exploration.

My passion is to empower others to achieve their fullest potential, to guide clients work through their current challenges and help them to move beyond — so they walk away stronger, wiser, and feeling good about their ability to shape their own future.

Sometimes folks feel really nervous or awkward when reaching out to start therapy. They don't know what to say or how to start. If that sounds like you, don't worry you're not alone. I'm here to make that first contact as painless as possible. Engaging folks that are hesitant or uncertain about the therapeutic process is my forte. Therapy occurs at your pace with you choosing how much or little you want to share. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to grow and learn about yourself and gain tools to help along your way. I believe that therapy is a partnership built on trust, a bit of humor, and lots of metaphors.

You know the phrase, “You have to help yourself before you can help others?” It may ring especially true for you, someone who is running on empty, trying to do everything for everyone. You may feel exhausted, anxious or lack motivation. You may be wondering how much longer you can keep this up. I teach people pleasers and perfectionists to be at peace with their own decisions without worrying about causing conflict or disappointing others. If you want to say no and mean it without guilt or fear I’d love to support you getting there.

So, you want to know a little bit about me, I suppose. You can share your story with me later! One question I get asked a lot is how and why I chose this career. Here's the backstory: I knew that I wanted to be a therapist as a young child, but as it sometimes happens, life had an alternate plan for me and took a slightly different course for a while. Yes, I am also a person that had to take the long way to get to my dream of supporting people on their journey.

Bridging the potential within, along with opening our hearts and minds to all of life's possibilities is the underlying focus of my practice. I believe that therapy is a collaborative one with the client in which strengths within are identified, and assistance is given to help the person find their own inner solutions. Optimal growth and change is achieved by identifying and breaking down those obstacles that stand in the way of a persons true happiness and potential.

Tired of repeating the same thing with life, feeling stuck with no hope in sight? Seems like more is going on? I focus on treating co-occurring addiction & mental health issues in addition to my work with providing psychological evaluations & testing. Not knowing why you keep doing or feeling the way you do and how to make changes in your life is beyond frustrating. It can be overwhelming, leading to feeling helpless and hopeless. When navigating the reasons for ongoing suffering and relapse, there is hope. In depth counseling and assessments can be the catalyst to promote change and I can help.
