In life we are confronted with many stressors, and challenges that can lead us to feeling overwhelmed, dissatisfied, down, or anxious. Emotions can be hard to manage. That is why I am a firm believer anyone can benefit from therapy! Whether you’re coping with a recent issue, or you’ve been struggling for some time, I’ll work with you to meet your specific needs. I view therapy as a collaborative process that is unique to each person. You should feel safe, heard, and understood in the therapeutic relationship. This allows for you to develop a better understanding of yourself, explore better ways of healing, and learn new skills.

I aim to create an environment where people I work with feel heard, nurtured, and confident so they can share openly without fear of judgment. The majority of the clients I work with are aiming to gain insight into their own behaviors and feelings while concurrently healing emotional wounds and traumas. From our families of origin through to our present day situations, we have collected unhelpful thought patterns that can impact our emotional state - our work in therapy is to exonerate ourselves from some of the burdens of our programming and learn to embrace who we really are.

"Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?" Henry David Thoreau. These healing words are the foundation of my philosophy. if you are having serious communication (and other) issues in your relationship with your partner that you've been unable to resolve....if your teenager, who has always been so good, is becoming unmanageable...if you are suffering with profound grief that doesn't heal over having lost a loved one or a beloved pet, then please consider speaking to someone who can help. I have over 25 years experience working with these and other issues.

Nobody should be in therapy forever. My strategy for over a decade has been to empower individuals and families to achieve their goals, improve their quality of life, and maintain lasting positive changes by getting to the root of what is causing you difficulty. I treat individuals (adults, children, teens) and families from a friendly, strengths-based, non-judgmental perspective. I specialize in treating adults, children, adolescents, and families who struggle with a variety of issues--from diagnosable mental health conditions (i.e., anxiety, OCD, PTSD), to normal life transition issues.

Sometimes we may find it difficult to live our best lives, for a variety of reasons. Therapy can help turn whatever you are struggling with into an opportunity for positive change. I strive to utilize cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic techniques to empower others to make those positive changes. That may mean overcoming depression and anxiety, resolving relationship issues, or coping with stressful situations. We can all use someone to talk to from time to time, and I can help.

I opened the Center for Mindful Change, LLC with the knowledge that the reason we have such difficulty changing our life's direction (how many times have we promised ourselves that we won't "ever" over drink, over eat, procrastinate, use anger, let others control us...) is that we are not mindful of our own internal and external energies that drive us to act the way we do. Through your work with me, you will find the personal insight and empowerment to change the way you approach life, meeting stresses and challenges with mindfulness and self-determination for success.
