Recovery is not a solitary journey; it is about connection with self and others. As we enter into the process of therapy you will have the opportunity to experience inner connection and awareness leading to Self expansion and outer growth. I believe strongly that our primary task is to continue your journey of self exploration; to seek the wealth of potential, strength, compassion, understanding, and openness that lies within. It is your ability to connect with these that will serve as your greatest asset in obtaining whatever goals you have coming into therapy.

Many of us find ourselves on a difficult path of self growth, realization, and identity. That road firmly establishes who we are; but, like anything worthwhile, is full of trials, missteps, and challenges. Nowhere, though, in our experience to build our lives does it say that our journey must be alone and without support, care, and the commitment of a dedicated collaborator. I believe everyone deserves an approach to therapy that is as unique as their own experiences, is affirmative, and consensual.

Change, stress, transition, relationship struggles, self-doubt, fear, anger, loneliness, loss...these are some of the issues I help my clients to navigate successfully. Maybe there is a problem you've tried to resolve on your own and you've reached an impasse. Or you have a teen whose behavior is worrisome, and you're not sure whether it's "just adolescence" or something of greater concern. With over 20 years of experience, dedication and compassion, I will work with you to uncover obstacles and find solutions.

Are you looking to make a shift? I am licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I believe therapy can be seen as a process of unpacking. Things often go unsaid, which can manifest into various effects on the body, such as anxiety. Although staying with your emotions can be difficult, it can often be the pathway to healing. My clinical experience has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of our environment and relationships, as well as the positive shifts that can take place when offered supportive and validating resources.

People often turn to psychotherapy when our usual ways of coping with the world become inadequate or counterproductive. We may feel overwhelmed by events, or experience a painful awareness that our lives are not what we want them to be. Sometimes life transitions, such as the loss of a loved one, birth of a child, divorce, job change, or retirement challenge our sense of self, our ties to others, and our understanding of what's important to us. We experience symptoms of anxiety and depression.

I hope for my clients to walk away from therapy feeling like they can handle whatever bumps they may encounter in life. This can happen by becoming aware of habits and patterns that are problematic; fully exploring and understanding them spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and then coming up with alternative ways of navigating. I offer short and long term treatment options as well as a sliding scale fee when appropriate. I enjoy teaching meditation so that people can move through the world from a place of mindfulness.
